EXCLUSIVE: ICM Partners has just signed Tim Robbins, the actor-director who’ll next star with Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joely Richardson and Josh Gad in Thanks For Sharing (which Roadside Attractions releases September 20) as well as the untitled film based on the Elmore Leonard novel The Switch. He’s also set to return behind the camera directing Man Under. Robbins continues to be managed by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
Robbins had been repped by UTA and this marks a return to ICM for him. The agency — which brokered his deals for such movies as Mystic River, Dead Man Walking and Cradle Will Rock – will not only handle him for acting and directing but also touring for his music.


… and in other news… Tim Robbins has officially retired
Typical. I didn’t like being a UTA client. I was not alone. And they did well by me, so that’s saying a lot.
Another ICM assistant spins a yarn…
A good get for the agency.
I’d like to know… why? We always read general reasons, which most times makes no sense, other than agents eventually get lazy so talent switches agencies to get more attention, work. Then, agents there get comfortable & lazy and, you guessed it, they switch again. Oh well, things change yet they stay the same. Go figure.
Probably returning there to reunite with Bart walker and try to do more directing. Pure speculation but makes sense.
