So here's the T....
What We Do
More than an agency...We're on a mission!
The Hells Kitchen Agency is a boutique talent agency in New York City, founded in 2017 on the proposition that the entertainment industry is wide enough for everyone.
Our outreach includes queer artists, performers of different nationalities and disabled performers. We believe Black Lives Matter, doing whatever we can to stop AAPI hate, and that we need to do more to help the Trans Community in America.
Developing talent at different levels of experience is a major focus for HKA, elevating artists on different paths to the next level of their careers. Our clients have performed internationally, on leading film and tv productions, and Broadway.
Clients have performed all over the world through various mediums. Broadway (Dear Evan Hansen, Moulin Rouge, Frozen, Jersey Boys, and many more) to touring productions, dozens of TV Shows, national commercial spots, hundreds of regional Theaters, traveling to all 7 continents among dozens of Cruise Ship opportunities, you can see our clients thriving everywhere! This year alone we’ve had clients book work on Netflix, HBO, ABC, NBC, CBS, Amazon Prime and Hulu. We look forward to opening (or breaking down) many more doors for our high quality roster of talent.

A Southern New Jersey native, Brian spent his youth performing in professional work all around the tri-state area. Even from an early age, he's been fascinated with helping people figure out their place in this crazy industry, and as soon as he got the chance he decided to make a whole career out of it. As a talent representative, Brian has worked for Jaime Baker Management (Talent Manager, Founder/Head of the Theatrical Roster), The Luedtke Agency (Jr. Agent), and The Price Group (Head Of Talent). His philosphy is that his clients are his peers, and he loves to be able to collaborate as much as possible to make their passions a reality.
