Managers Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence have exited Atlas Artists to join Linden Entertainment, bringing several high-profile clients with them.
In a notable industry move, managers Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence have joined Linden Entertainment as partners after parting ways with Atlas Artists. This announcement was confirmed by Deadline on September 3, 2026, indicating a significant reshuffling in the management landscape of Hollywood.
Alongside their new positions at Linden, Todisco and Pence will bring a roster of esteemed clients, including Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham, best known for her roles in Ted Lasso and Ride or Die, and Emmy nominee Connor Storrie, who has worked on projects like Heated Rivalry and an upcoming A24 release. Other notable clients making the move include Gotham TV Award winners Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, as well as a diverse array of talent such as Natalie Martinez, Michael James Shaw, and several reality personalities.
This transition indicates not only a change in management but also highlights the appeal and potential of Linden Entertainment, which has been rapidly establishing itself in the industry since its inception in 2020.
Nicholas Todisco, a BAFTA nominee, has been with Atlas Artists since its founding in 2014, becoming a partner in 2022. His extensive career includes time spent at Brillstein and Mosaic. Meanwhile, Brad Pence has been with Atlas since 2018, following his previous experience as a talent manager at Primary Wave Entertainment and in development at Mandate Pictures.
In moving to Linden, both managers are expected to enhance the agency's offerings, especially given their track record of identifying and representing top talent. JoAnne Colonna, a partner at Linden, expressed enthusiasm for this development, recognizing their exceptional skills and aligning philosophies.
Founded by Nicole King and Stacy O'Neil, alongside Colonna and Linden Riva Marker, Linden Entertainment has quickly become recognized for its impressive client roster. The agency currently represents prominent figures like Vin Diesel and Jennifer Garner and is involved in producing significant projects, including Aleshea Harris' Is God Is for Amazon MGM's Orion Pictures, and a Netflix film featuring Garner and John Cena, which is currently in post-production.
The addition of Todisco and Pence further solidifies Linden's position in the competitive landscape of talent management and production, as they plan to leverage their connections and industry insights.
The integration of Todisco and Pence into Linden Entertainment marks a notable shift in the management of some of the entertainment industry's most recognizable talents. Given their proven track record in the industry, this move is likely to attract attention and could lead to potential projects and partnerships that further influence the evolving landscape of talent representation. While the immediate effects of this transition remain to be seen, it indicates a strategic positioning for increased market influence for both the new partners and Linden Entertainment itself.
