EXCLUSIVE: WME has expanded its partner roster by upping seven of its best and brightest to partnership status. The new partners are Warren Zavala, the talent agent who joined from CAA last year and whose clients include Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tobey Maguire; TV lit agent Tom Wellington (clients include Burn Notice creator Matt Nix and Jonah Nolan), talent agent Brad Slater (clients include Dwayne Johnson, and Kevin Costner), Motion Picture Lit agent Phil D’Amecourt (Neill Blomkamp, Wally Pfister, Laeta Kalogridis), Book agent Dorian Karchmar (Guy Fieri and Amoor Towles), and Personal Appearance agents Brent Smith (a music agent whose clients include Snoop Dogg and Frank Ocean) and Stacy Mark (who reps standup comics including Daniel Tosh). Deadline invites the new seven samurai to take a bow.


“If you stay here and don’t join Berg’s new ship, we’ll make you a partner!”
Exactly!
Oh just like this week’s episode of “The Good Wife”. Guess WME has some bills to pay…what’s the buy in?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don’t get it.
What about Sarah Self?!
those guys are amazing. congrats. best.
Congrats: Slater: Adam Goodman tells everyone at his studio of how incomptetent the guy is, but to just deal with him as he’s a family friend. Maybe that explains why Costner is getting more money then the main lead in a Paramount film.
Congrats!!!! In that case maybe adam goodman should be promoted as a partner at wmee. LOL. CONGRATS!
So THAT’s why Chris left.
Huge congrats to WME and Tom Wellington! Tom is a TV ninja.
what does being a partner there mean?
What about Marie Sheehy?!
Tom is a beast, well deserved.
Haha someone make sure Esola’s Resolution office has a nice glass desk and a lot of mirrors.
I know right? Esola has been the fucking KING of spec sales for few years! Guy is a total beast.
Writer: you missed the real joke, son.
Where the Hell is Scott Henderson? No one beats him in TV Talent!
well deserved!!
It’s all symbolic and titles; very little substance or meaning.
Slater is such a sleeze. Incompetent. Just the worst. Horrible bump.
Um, what about her? One marquee client and a well-practiced laugh doesn’t make you a partner.
Oh shut up Jay Cee. Slater is a nice guy.
Is this why Randi left? Was she a partner?
No, she was a partner already.
Maybe now Slater can afford some sox
These agents are the reason movies today are dismal.
We do not need more agents. We need more great writers, directors, actors.
Dorian??? Partner?????? What a joke!
INTERESTING. NO ONE FROM THE NEW YORK LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
A good defensive move to keep agents with Jeff Berg on the prowl.
