Agents ^{For Profit}

An agent is a person who is authorized to act on behalf of another person. People hire agents to perform tasks that they lack the time or expertise to do for themselves. A universal agent has wide authority to act on another's behalf, but a general agent or special agent has more limited and specific powers. In the entertainment industry, agents act as a liaison between talented individuals and casting directors, film studios, production companies, ad agencies and photographers, helping their clients to build a successful career.
