WASHINGTON – Former US president Joe Biden has signed with the powerhouse talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), joining its star-studded ranks of Hollywood actors and sports legends as he explores what comes after the White House.
CAA said in an Instagram post on Feb 3 that they had represented Mr Biden from 2017 to 2020 after his eight-year term as vice-president.
“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” said Mr Richard Lovett, co-chairman of CAA, praising the former leader’s “commitment to public service”.
He added: “We are profoundly honoured to partner with him again.”
Mr Biden published his memoir Promise Me, Dad and launched a book tour that sold more than 85,000 tickets nationwide during his previous stint with CAA, the agency said.
One of the world’s largest talent agencies, CAA’s roster ranges from actress Meryl Streep to lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart and Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani.
According to trade publication Variety, it also represents the production company Higher Ground – fronted by Mr Biden’s previous boss, former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. AFP
