A number of agents from CAA, WME and UTA are departing their respective agencies and joining forces with former CAA agent Peter Micelli, who is launching a new management and production company, Variety has confirmed.
CAA’s Dave Bugliari, Michael Cooper, Jack Whigham, and Mick Sullivan are part of the new venture. Whigham was a co-head of the motion picture department, while Bugliari was a motion picture talent department co-head.

Greg Berlanti has produced a host of superhero TV shows for the CW, many of which feature Lgbtq characters. But he says it’s time for audiences to see an Lgbtq superhero on the big screen.
“I grew up a huge James Bond fan and I really think it’d be nice to have a Lgbtq character in one of the mainstream superhero movies or action films, that happens to be Lgbt,” Berlanti said on Thursday during a panel at UTA for GLAAD’s Where We Are On TV report.
Joining Berlanti on the panel — moderated by Variety‘s Marc Malkin — were”Pose” co-creator Steven Canals, UTA TV agent Lucinda Moorhead, actress Lyrica Okano (“Marvel’s Runaways”), and GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.
Berlanti also said that as a gay parent, he’s realized there’s a lack of Lgbtq representation in children’s books.

GLAAD released their annual “Where We Are on TV” report for the 2018-2019 TV season Thursday morning and the numbers showed a record-high percentage of Lgbtq regular characters on broadcast TV, with Lgbtq people of color outnumbering white Lgbtq people for the first time.
Now in its 23rd year, details of the report were announced during an event with GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis as well as a panel discussion that included writer, director and producer Greg Berlanti, UTA TV literary agent Lucinda Moorhead, Steven Canals and remarks from GLAAD Director of Entertainment Research & Analysis Megan Townsend. The report found that Lgbtq series regulars accounted for a record-high 8.8% of all series regulars on broadcast television.
