TALENTAGENT

Talent agent

A talent agent, or booking agent, is a person who finds jobs for actors, authors, film directors, musicians, models, producers, professional athletes, writers, broadcast journalists, and other people in various entertainment or broadcast businesses. In addition an agent defends, supports and promotes the interest of his/her clients. A talent agent must be familiar with their clients. An agent has to know what kind of work the client can and cannot do in order to match them with various jobs. Talent agencies specialize, either by creating departments within the agency or developing entire agencies that primarily or wholly represent one specialty.
