RICHARD LOVETT

Co-chairman Creative Artists Agency

Lovett is part of the leadership triumvirate that strengthens the core talent/brand representation business with the pending acquisition of rival ICM. That bolts on a strong client roster of TV program showrunners –producer-writer-director multi-hyphenates who are catalysts for creating TV programs – as well as an established sports and a growing podcasting client list. Lovett started in the mailroom, rising through the motion picture department. CAA’s Hollywood clients include producer J. J. Abrams, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon. In music, the client list includes Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and The Weeknd.
