What is a Talent Agent?

A talent agent is someone who represents professional actors, writers, performers, musicians, artists and athletes. Talent agents work on behalf of their clients to promote and represent their interests, and will typically handle the majority of all interactions between their client and the employer.

What does a Talent Agent do?

In general, a talent agent acts as a middleman between talented creative types and those that are looking to hire them. Talent agents may either actively seek out clients to represent, or have entertainers and artists contact them first. The latter scenario is much more common for entertainers who seek representation for the first time. More experienced entertainers and artists may change their agent as their career matures.

The job duties of a talent agent involve a fair amount of communication and negotiation with prospective employers. Advances in information technology have allowed talent agents to perform much of their job duties online, but at the end of the day, person-to-person contract negotiations determine the final outcome.

Typically, talent agents spend the majority of their time making phone calls or contacting employers and potential clients online. Selling a client's talents to prospective employers takes up a large amount of the agent's day, and the most successful talent agents come up with new and innovative ways to accomplish their goal. Occasionally, something as simple as treating an employer's representative with a nice dinner is all it takes to finalize the signing of a client.

Talent agents promote the talents of their clients in addition to performing other marketing duties. Essentially, the amount of marketing considerations talent agents must consider depends upon the specific industry in which an agent operates. Sports agents, for example, have to consider many more marketing implications than an agent representing a painter or a writer. Talent agents representing actors and actresses have to consider their client's marketing potential as well.

Depending upon a talent agent's area of expertise, the daily job duties may also include visiting music studios, concert venues, a record label's corporate office, a publisher's office, performance halls, and movie studios. A talent agent would do well to attend as many social events as possible in order to network efficiently and discover insider information about the current state of the movie business. When working on behalf of their clients, every contact an agent can make matters a great deal, more than an agent's clients may realize.

Are you suited to be a talent agent?

Talent agents have distinct personalities. They tend to be enterprising individuals, which means they're adventurous, ambitious, assertive, extroverted, energetic, enthusiastic, confident, and optimistic. They are dominant, persuasive, and motivational. Some of them are also artistic, meaning they're creative, intuitive, sensitive, articulate, and expressive.

What is the workplace of a Talent Agent like?

Most talent agents start out by working in talent agencies that cater to different types of artists. Some of the more common cities for talent agents to work in may include Hollywood, New York City, and Nashville. Working as a talent agent often requires long hours and many responsibilities. An office is the usual day-to-day workplace, but advances in communication technology now allow agents to work on-the-go. Mobile technology has given many agents the flexibility necessary to operate their own online agencies, for example. Often, a talent agent's duties involve traveling, and some agents even travel abroad quite a bit when representing non-native clients.

Freddie Fields was a theatrical agent who help found Creative Management Agencies. C.M.A., in the 60's and 70's, was one of the most influential talent agencies. Freddie Fields died in Beverly Hills at the age of 84.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Freddie Fields, a retired Hollywood producer, studio executive and agent who helped found Creative Management Associates, one of the industry's most influential talent agencies in the 1960s and early '70s, died on Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills. He was 84.

The cause was lung cancer, said Warren Cowan, a Hollywood publicist who announced the death on Wednesday.

With a colleague, David Begelman, Mr. Fields founded C.M.A. in 1960, and for the next 15 years Mr. Fields was considered one of the most powerful agents in Hollywood — perhaps the most powerful. Among his clients over the years were Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Henry Fonda, Steve McQueen, Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire and Jackie Gleason.

In the mid-1970s C.M.A. merged with the International Famous Agency to create International Creative Management. Representing actors, authors and many other high-level professionals, I.C.M. is today widely considered the titan of talent agencies.

In the 1980s Mr. Fields held several top positions with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, including president of worldwide production for MGM/United Artists Entertainment. In later years he was an independent producer. His film credits include "Lipstick" (1976), "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977), "American Gigolo" (1980), "Crimes of the Heart" (1986) and "Glory" (1989). For television, Mr. Fields was executive producer of "The Montel Williams Show," the nationally syndicated talk show.

Mr. Fields was born Fred Feldman on July 12, 1923, in Ferndale, N.Y.; his brother was the well-known bandleader Shep Fields. Their father, Jack, ran a Catskills resort known as the Queen Mountain House, which featured entertainers like Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor. When Freddie was a young child, his father died; growing up, Freddie worked a series odd jobs and discovered he had a gift for selling things, or, more accurately, for selling people.

As a young man Mr. Fields went to work for Abbie Greshler, a New York booking agent, where he handled Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. He joined the Music Corporation of America, a music-publishing and booking agency, in 1946, eventually becoming a vice president. He left in 1960 to start his own agency, whose initials — no accident, Mr. Fields said afterward — were an anagram of M.C.A.'s.

In the early 1970s Mr. Fields, together with Mr. Newman, Ms. Streisand and Sidney Poitier, founded First Artists, an independent production company. (They were later joined by Mr. McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.) The company is no longer in business.

Mr. Fields's first marriage ended in divorce, as did his second, to the actress Polly Bergen. He is survived by his wife, the former Corinna Tsopei, a former Miss Greece and Miss Universe; two children from his marriage to Ms. Bergen, Pamela Kerry Fields and Peter William Fields; one daughter, Kathy Fields Lander, from his first marriage to Edith Fellows; four stepchildren, Andrew, Steven, Daniella and Paris Zax; three grandchildren; and one step-grandchild. Mr. Fields's brother Shep died in 1981. Information on other survivors could not be confirmed.

After Mr. Fields helped start C.M.A., according to news accounts, he stopped at nothing to attract the finest talent to his stable.

"Determined to sign James Coburn away from another agency, Fields walked into his meeting with Coburn and took off his jacket to reveal a holstered gun," Daily Variety reported in 1997, describing an incident from the 1960s. "The tactic was a joke, but it got the job done. Coburn signed with C.M.A."
