At WME:
Millicent Simmonds, the young actress who broke out with A Quiet Place and is back kicking ass in the sequel, is now with WME.
Showrunner Little Marvin (Them) is a new WME client, as is Thomas Doherty, one of the stars of the rebooted Gossip Girl.
At UTA:
The very busy Demi Lovato has signed with UTA across all areas, worldwide.
Billy Ray Cyrus, the country music star and actor whose staying power continues to amaze, is now with UTA across the board.
Others joining Demi and Billy are RuPaul's Drag Race champion Shea CouleƩ, Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks (Blade Runner 2049) and rising filmmaker Nneka Onuorah.
At ICM Partners:
The always-embattled (and somehow still lovable) Alec Baldwin is now an ICM client.
Veteran sports personality Jim Rome has also signed with the agency.
In a departure from the old white guy theme, ICM has also signed Never Have I Ever breakout Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
At CAA:
CAA has had a busy past several weeks, landing the likes of Sterling K. Brown, Charlie Day and Selma Blair.
Other notable signs for the Death Star include filmmakers Max Barbakow, Karen Cinorre and Oge Egbuonu, as well as legendary film composer (*Inception sound*) Hans Zimmer.
Elsewhere Around Town:
Innovative Artists now represents Annie Gonzalez of Vida and Gentefied.
Arsenio Hall, back in action after the release of Coming 2 America, is now repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
