Five CAA agents have left the firm to join (or in the case of two of them rejoin) UTA as partners. Jason Heyman, Martin Lesak, Greg Cavic, Nick Nuciforo and Gregory McKnight — have resigned in order to join UTA as partners. Heyman and Lesak are rejoining UTA where they were previously partners, where Heyman will be a special board advisor to the Board of Directors. Nuciforo will head up the comedy touring Division working with comediens such as Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler.
The five agents bring with them some big name clients such as Heyman who reps Jim Parsons, Seth Meyers, Mindy Kaling, Jason Sudeikis, Chelsea Handler, Ed Helms and Johnny Knoxville; Lesak brings Eric Stonestreet, Zooey Deschanel, Christ Hardwick, Jason Sudeikis, and Jim Gaffigan; and McKnight brings Gary Marshall, Robert Siegel, Leslye Headland, Breck Eisner and Rawson Marshall Thurber.
At this moment in time, all clients are expected to follow their agents.
