Talent Agent Amanda Glazer Joins Innovative Artists

EXCLUSIVE: Amanda Glazer, a talent agent coming off 25+ years at The Kohner Agency, has moved over to Innovative Artists Entertainment.

This follows the recent layoffs affecting Kohner’s three talent agents. As we reported earlier this month, Kohner, which has been in business for almost 90 years, continues to operate: The lit department remains, and Owner and President Pearl Wexler continues to rep both acting and lit clients. The talent department remains open only to service existing contracts and collect commission.

The daughter of Emmy-winning television director Barry Glazer, Amanda was introduced to the entertainment industry at an early age. She began her career in the mailroom at William Morris shortly after graduating from UCLA.

Glazer will work out of Innovative’s Santa Monica office. Clients following her will be announced at a later date.

Scott Harris, Innovative’s Founder and CEO, commented: “Amanda’s taste is exceptional, her dedication to both her clients and colleagues unwavering, and her approach to representation fits in perfectly with Innovative’s philosophy in seeing clients with a 360-degree lens — touching each corner of the industry as the modern entertainment business demanded. Her reputation as a true collaborative partner throughout the industry and her steadfast commitment to operating with zeal and integrity make her the perfect fit for Innovative at this moment.”

Glazer joins Innovative during a period of some expansion in the talent department, which has seen the hiring of Rob Cassandro and Brian Sacripanti, alongside the promotions of agents Isaac Finn, Madeline Petrovich, and Celine Biancardi.
