Top Talent Agencies in the Planet
Do you want to be lined up with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Clint Eastwood, Forest Whitaker, Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn and Grace Kelly? Well, before you do, you have to get an agent or be discovered by a talent scout.
Anyway, before you get started on your road to fame and fortune, first you have to know what exactly a talent agent is. A talent agent is also called a talent scout or a manager. In most cases, they work alone, but there are other talent scouts who work for talent agencies. Talent agents hunt down for new talents who have the potential to be great and fantastic stars of the future.
Most talent agencies are run by a professional talent agent and are required to be licensed and are regulated by the government and artists’ unions. Talent agencies find jobs for actors, musicians, models and people who are interested in the entertainment business.

They are also managing sports superstars like David Beckham.
- However, without William Morris Agency, CAA would not have been founded. The five founders of CAA were actually employees of WMA, and for your information, WMA was founded in 1898.
Well, taking up the third spot is the United Talent Agency which was founded a little later than CAA—in 1991. This agency was actually formed by the merging of two talent agencies, Bauer-Benedek Agency and Leading Artists Agency. This agency have brought us some of the industry’s best stars like the ultra dynamic duo, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Indiana Jones’s Harrison Ford, Peter Pan’s Jeremy Sumpter, noted comedian and star of a few hilarious movies such as Meet the Fockers, Meet the Parents, and Night at the Museum Ben Stiller, sci-fi television series Heroes star as Claire Bennet Hayden Pannettiere, ex-No Doubt vocalist and now a solo pop artist Gwen Estefani, Capt.
