Jim Berkus has been the comic’s primary agent for almost as long as UTA has existed. “We’ve had a great 15-year relationship with Martin Lawrence. He decided he wanted to make a change. It’s a very amicable parting of the ways,” a UTA insider tells me.

What…did he get angry that Big Momma’s House 3 wasn’t in production yet?
Good. He shouldn’t be associated with anything with the word “talent” in its name.
Look I know people who have done nothing for themselves want to complain, and even if u have had success in your puny little life it doesnt matter, because you could never have Martin Lawrences talent, fame or fortune. Im only 17 and im only a fan, but seriously people grow up and istead of finding ways in why you should hate him. Give him a pat on the back let him go on with his life and you can live your pathetic, insecure, and worthless path.
This is 17andTired and im here to tell all of you to get a life.
L8er losers.
Surprise, no? Last few films from him was just plain painful to watch. He is no Will Smith but he can take Sandler’s route by making silly comedies that entertains.
Good luck Lawrence
everyone’s too harsh on Lawrence. he can hold his own with anyone in the comedy world. including will smith in bad boys. it’s hard to find good material in this town but when he gets it he seems totally able to handle it. as for the jump from UTA, wonder where he’ll land? easy money bet is CAA but maybe Endeavor if he’s looking for a little more hands on attention…
Hahahahahahaha. What a surprise?!?! Welcome to Hollywood where loyalty doesn’t exist. You can take a bullet for the client but they never seem to give a shit. Its ok, I hear he is TERRIBLE to work with on set. Loser actor.
Maybe the offer to do Grad School Roadtrip was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“Its ok, I hear he is TERRIBLE to work with on set.”
Couldn’t be any worse than Eddie Murphy. What a douche!
Anyone who has ever dealt with Martin Lawrence or other high maintenance actors would realize what an incredible miracle it is that any agent could last with an artist like him for even 1 year, not to mention 15 years. A lot of people think they know how to relate to artists, but few can actually do it, especially at this level.
