The CAA is the Creative Arts Agency
The CAA represents many of the A-list of Hollywood as well as top musicians and sports stars.
They boast an enviable client list including: Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, James Cameron, Steven Speilberg, Bruce Willis… the list goes on.
Such is the power of the agency their offices are nicknamed the “Death Star”
The CAA has six partners: Richard Lovett, Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane, Rick Nicita, David “Doc” O’Connor, and Rob Light.
But the main power, lies with Richard Lovatt and Bryan Lourd.
These men can make or break a career; if they don’t like you, you won’t get work, and they are feared throughout the industry.
Richard Lovatt is Jewish with a passion for Yoga, his brilliance at securing big names, has seen his rise to the top of the CAA.
Bryan Lourd was the husband of Carrie Fisher, before leaving her for another man, when he “came out” as homosexual in 1994.
The studios tend to do what they suggest, as they hold great influence within the industry; Name any top movie or TV show, and the chances are the majority of the cast, as well as the director, are clients of the Creative Arts Agency.
