EXCLUSIVE: Josh Hartnett, who recently met with all the major agencies, has signed with IFA’s Ilene Feldman. It’s a surprise since he was expected to go with one of the major agencies after leaving CAA, but Feldman has managed to co-exist nicely alongside the behemoths, with a client list that includes Ryan Gosling, Chris Hemsworth and Angelina Jolie. Let’s hope she can steer him toward some projects that will put Hartnett back on the leading man map.


Refreshing to hear he didn’t end up at one of the usual doucheries, and by the way a good move. I’m surprised more stars aren’t with IFA. Look at Ryan’s career; it’s hard to imagine it going any better if he were anyplace else.
Yep, compare Gosling with say, Gyllenhaal, no contest. Game set match.
That’s great for Ilene. She’s a terrific hardworking agent who can do the job.

Please come back. We’re tired of insecure sissy boy leading men and could use a good old fashioned smoldering hunk to lead the masses back to the cineplexes.
Signed,
Everyone
I was just asking someone the other day what happened to this guy. Good to see he’s still out there I guess. Good luck.
His leading man ship has sailed. He should just get himself a network procedural and be done with it.
I’m still shocked that he didn’t try a TV series yet. He would be good on some drama show.
He should really look to TV, and I don’t mean that in a negative way. His last movie that was close to a hit was 30 Days of Night and that was 4.5 years ago. Before that, Sin City. He came on as the new heartthrob. Those times have passed. Now it’s time for him to get some clout.
He was in Sin City for a few minutes. Certainly wasn’t the draw of that film.
He made a very smart career choice going with IFA over the majors. This is exactly the type of representation he needs to get his career back on track.
Wish there were more IFAs!
Terribly underrated actor. I think his looks have seriously held him back. Non-believers, check out the little seen indie drama August
Saw August at Sundance, it sucked. Why? Because it was terrible and Josh wasn’t much better than the movie overall. The major buyers agreed. PayTV is a smart play to build confidence (ours, not his) again.
I agree in August is amazing,and more indie films, Lucky Number Slevin y Mozart and the whale excellent performance.

WOW, great for Josh! This means he’s taking his career very seriously! Irene knows what it takes to revamp and sustain a stars career. Excited to see what his first project will be. Woohoo!
I hope so, i’m a huge fan of josh and i feel like he took an absence from films. He’s certainly a better actor than the current crop of younger leading men.
He’s sexy! He’s the only actor in the industry that can make me look twice….he’s sexy! Good luck Josh!
Didn’t know he was still acting. He’s known as Mr Amanda Seyfried to me.
unfortunately we will all be seeing josh hartnett movies now since they are truly the best agency out there
Smart and refreshing decision!!!! Great careers need loving care which so many people forget these days. I am wishing Mr. Hartnett a much deserved comeback to the big leagues. Go Ilene, Wendy, and group!!!
