Brilliant sign. Even more of a brilliant actor. Love that Josh Gad.
Buttah!
Could not be happier for Josh. He is an amazing talent and an ever better guy
Sad. He was repped by some lady who was scrambling to hold onto him for months.
Obviously, you idiot — you don’t know what you are talking about. The lady who repped him, repped him for over 7 years! He may have talent, but all his deals were done through her.
Such Loyalty!!! Its so nice to get rid of your managers that worked hard for you and got you to the point that you are at. Things were going well, why did things need to get changed? oh yes, wanting Dan Fogler’s career.
Brillstein has a long history of poaching others clients – then riding the coattails of the work done by the previous manager and the agent – then a few years later getting fired when the actor realizes they haven’t done anything
You poor, clueless thing!! If you ever get a job in the business, please come back and comment accurately. Until then, keep dreaming, doll.
When did BGE start stealing clients from individual managers??? Gross Gad!!!! Gross BGE!!!!
Actually, I retract that.
Gross Gad!!
He’s also a member of the Lost Nomads whose “Gigi: Almost American” web series is one of the best on the internet.
Shame on you Josh Gad! Diane Perez worked so hard for you over the years. I truly thought you were much more loyal than that!
Brillstein is the oldest management company in the biz and managers there have never poached clients. They don’t need to. Adam Sandler, Brad Pitt, and Natalie Portman have been with their managers from the beginning of their careers and Bernie Brillstein represented his clients from their first jobs until their deaths (Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Jim Henson). Get your facts straight Anonymous!
I guess the old ways of Brillstein left with Bernie and Brad. Poachers
great move by Brillstein. who signed him? this means he is going all the way!
There is no BGE. But of course you knew that.
Wow, really — another actor dumping his manager, as soon as they think they have made it! Nice to see loyalty still rules in this town
Totally not cool, Gad!
