United Talent Agency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Talent Agency (UTA) was founded in 1991 as the result of a merger between two medium-size talent agencies, Bauer-Benedek Agency and Leading Artists Agency, and is one of the world's largest full-service talent and literary agencies.
Located in Beverly Hills, California, it is considered one of the "big five" talent agencies in Hollywood along with the Creative Artists Agency, International Creative Management, Endeavor Agency, and William Morris Agency. UTA represents actors, writers, directors, producers and below the line talent, for film, television, music, publishing, fashion, and computer and video games. UTA also has a growing marketing division, representing a number of corporations and their brands.
[edit] UTA Job List
One of the things UTA is famous for is the elusive "UTA Job List". The list includes many assistant position job listings for agent/publicist/manager hopefuls. UTA will not confirm the existence of such a list, but it does exist and is only available to those lucky enough to have connections to people within Hollywood to be able to obtain it. The job is available, however, to students of USC. Although the list does offer excellent opportunity for success in the talent business, it is rumored that the assistants at United Talent Agency (creators of the list) weed out most of the truly promising job opportunities.
