Arise Artists Agency continues to bolster its ranks with the addition of veteran agent Cynthia Booth as Head of Talent.
Booth began her career at CAA in the music department, then moved into feature film at ICM and the William Morris Agency, later expanding into television at Writers & Artists Agency. She went on to launch the Talent Department at The Agency Group, which was subsequently acquired by UTA, and later served as Head of the Television Department at Resolution. Fo
r the past decade, Booth led her own company, Singular Talent, where she built a diverse client roster spanning film and television. At Arise, she will oversee the Talent Department and drive its continued expansion across scripted platforms.
“Cynthia has built departments, scaled businesses, and guided artists through major shifts in the industry,” said Brian Cho, CEO of Arise Artists Agency. “As Arise continues its rapid growth, bringing in a leader of her caliber reflects our long-term vision for the agency.”
Additonally, agent Casey Larkin has joined the agency’s New Media Department. Larkin most recently served as an agent at Gersh, where he began in 2017 before being promoted in 2022. He previously worked in APA’s unscripted department.
Larkin works across motion pictures, digital platforms, and the video game/motion capture space, with a track record of guiding talent into new ventures across film, television, and interactive media. At Arise, he will focus on expanding cross-platform opportunities for clients while continuing to build out the agency’s New Media Department alongside Harriette Feliz, with an emphasis on representing directors and writers in the vertical and digital space.
Founded in 2024, Arise Artists Agency has rapidly expanded across film, television, digital media, voiceover, and commercial and branded partnerships.
