I Like It I Don't Like It
ENDEAVOR talent agency is challenging Creative Artists Agency for supremacy in Hollywood. While CAA has long had the biggest stable of actors and directors, Endeavor scored a coup Wednesday evening when Robert De Niro defected from the powerhouse - with his producing partner, Jane Rosenthal, and their company, Tribeca Productions. While CAA helped further De Niro’s career with $18 million comedies such as “Meet the Fockers,” serious roles have been drying up. According to deadlinehollywooddaily.com, De Niro’s exit from CAA was amicable - their long association had simply run its course. De Niro’s surprise move caps one of the more eventful weeks in the history of Ari Emanuel’s Endeavor, which just hired exiting UTA agents Nick Stevens, Lisa Hallerman and Sharon Sheinwold, and brought Ben Stiller into the fold. Other clients, Jack Black included, may move from UTA to Endeavor, as well.
