Michael Greene Artists Agency will open offices in Malibu, Calif. and New York City. The agency will sign emerging talent, and shape an environment where “integrity, inclusion, and storytelling with purpose take precedence over profit and popularity.” As the founder of Michael Greene Management in New York, Greene formed Greene & Associates Talent Agency in Hollywood in the early 90s and established a boutique firm in Los Angeles. In addition to Greene, agents joining the agency include Pietra Ingenito, Marisa Patella, Elizabeth “Q” Quintanilla, and Jackie Lewis. Greene previously began assisting with talents such as Chadwick Boseman, Olivia Rodrigo, Tessa Thompson, Rosanna Arquette, Jenna Fischer and Ken Howard. As Greene started his management company, he oversaw actors such as Frances Fisher, Alicia Boe, Sally Kirkland, Ed Asner and more. Greene has previously represented Tony-award winning actors such as Amanda Plummer and Aidan Gillen. In addition to founding Michael Greene Artists Agency, Greene founded the nonprofit organization We Have a Dream, dedicated to hunger and homelessness in America. Funded by Conrad Hilton of the Hilton Foundation, the initiative continues a commitment to social justice and humanitarian causes across the United States. In 1994, Greene was nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young and Merrill Lynch. Greene has previously co-hosted numerous charitable events for organizations such as the Fred Jordan Mission, the Los Angeles Mission, and Homeboy Industries alongside Jane Fonda and Father Greg Boyle. Greene currently serves as a producer on “Anavarana,” a documentary that follows survivors of modern-day child slavery around the world in partnership with Nasreen Sheikh and the Empowerment Collective.
