Hello. We're hero. A boutique talent agency for leading actors. Thanks to our combined 50 years of industry experience, we have seen it all, and know how time-consuming it can be finding authentic and interesting talent. Therefore we set out to deliver a new type of agency, one that looks to bridge the gap between casting and traditional representation; delivering the best undiscovered talent to the industry, continuously. We scout daily and tirelessly across the UK to find distinctive performers that we feel casting directors, directors and producers would like to meet. Once discovered, we represent our talent exclusively for work across all mediums in the UK, Europe and the USA. We are committed to championing diversity in the industry. We aim to help any talented performer succeed, regardless of their background. Hero offers an extensive development programme that facilitates creative as well as commercial projects and allows our talent to keep learning in a professional and nurturing environment. The Team:
Nicola Joy - Director / Head of Talent
Nicola worked successfully as an actress from the age of eight through to National Youth Theatre and then into her early twenties (under a slightly different name!). During this time she built working relationships with many directors, casting directors, producers, photographers and writers. Prior to launching Hero, Nicola spent 4 years representing high-profile directors from the world of film and worked for an eclectic mix of production companies and creative agencies. Chrissie Soames - Agent
Chrissie is the Hero veteran; she brings a wealth of experience to the team. Chrissie worked as a photographer in the late seventies and eighties. In the nineties she assisted the busy children's division at Galloways Agency. Chrissie went on to have a successful career as a children's drama teacher, working with a diverse mix of London's children, teens and young adults. Nicholas Tasker - Creative Director / Account Management
Nick has been working in advertising for the last 10 years and has gained a stellar reputation as one of London's top creatives. Along the way he's managed to win awards at all the major shows, including Creative Circle, Campaign Big and D&AD. Nick has worked in both the UK and LA with TBWA London, Chiat Day LA, GREY London and Adam & Eve DDB (he was their first creative, ever).
