The Hot And Cold Actor

[Blind Gossip] This handsome guy has been an actor for a long time. He looks like he should be on a soap opera. In fact, he was.

His career ran hot and cold for many years. He changed agencies… and his luck began to pick up! They helped him land gig after gig.

A couple of years ago, he saw the script for a new TV series. There was a role in there that he really wanted.

It turns out that his agents were way ahead of him and had already lined up an audition for him! Not only that, he got the gig… the show became a huge hit… and he’s now a star!

So, what did he do after this to thank his agents for their loyalty and hard work?

He dumped them for a bigger agency.

This is… disloyal.

    This is Justin Hartley of This Is Us. He used to be on Passions. (Guilty pleasure of mine in college but god was it awful and most couldn’t act, including him.)

    Not surprised, though. Disloyal, yes.

  9. with a twist says

    Justin Hartley from This is Us just switched agencies. Was on Passions for a long time, I think.

    Kevin Hartley. He was on Passions. Now on This is Us. Guessing this based on the clue “This is…disloyal”.

  20. spunkymonkey says

    Sorry, I mean Justin Hartley not Kevin Hartley. He was on Passions. He is on This is Us. Based on clue “This is…disloyal”.

    This is…Justin Hartley.

    But changing agencies to a bigger one when your career gets hot is very common. And the old agency still gets paid on “This Is Us”.

    Disloyal

    Clues: he was on a soap, “this is…disloyal” aka this is us

  31. MissELace says

    Justin Hartley
    This Is Us (Kevin Pearson)

    Both, it is a bit disloyal but he needs to make sure he’s with agency that have the power to get him big roles and negotiate better deals.

    Disloyal….if they got you that part I would have trusted to do further business with them

    Definitely Justin Hartley. Just signed with CAA. Was in Young and the Restless, Revenge, and now This is Us. I’d have probably done the same as him. It’s just business, not personal.

  55. captmarvel says

    Justin Hartley (from This is Us) just switched from Innovative Artists to CAA. This is a pretty common occurrence in Hollywood though—his bosses (Aptaker & Berger) just left Verve for CAA as well.

  56. gonegirl81 says

    Justin Hartley now staring in This Is Us. Signed to a big agency recently. I guess it’s just business.

    Justi Hartley/this is us.

    Natalia Vodianova, russian supermodel, once said, that in fashion busiess one has to be kind to eveyone. You never know where You all will be in few years.

    I think this is true also for actors. Disloyalty is dumb, he still has only this one big show so he is not a big star.

  62. BeeBeeDee says

    Thomas Gibson comes to mind.
    He’s been acting since the 80s, and he has had a lot of careers ups and downs, at least until he got Dharma & Greg and then Criminal Minds. And there was something in the news a while back about him being in a battle with his former management because he apparently thought changing agencies meant he didn’t have to pay them their percentage of the deals they brokered for him.

  67. delray74 says

    Justin Hartley?

    It’s just business. What have you done for me lately. It’s the way the world is unless you’re a federal government employee.

  69. catty84 says

    Justin Hartley of This Is Us. He was on a stupid teen soap opera called Passions which I’m sad to say my middle school self watched. It was complete with a witch and a living doll…. He just signed with CAA.

    Justin Hartley
    This Is Us

    Probably just business, but I know the soap world and JH has always been a douche.

  72. badfish says

    This is definitely Shemar Moore. No such thing as loyalty in Hollywood when you have a limited window of opportunity.

  74. missoctober says

    Justin Hartley
    This is Us

    He’s been an actor for a long time…was on Passions the soap opera..
    I don’t think its disloyal. Just business.

  76. tellmemore says

    I agree. He needs to be careful; he’s playing a character who (IMO) is very hard to like. If he gets a reputation as a jerk in real life it won’t be good for him. In Hollywood perception is often reality

  79. Mia444 says

    Justin Hartley. He’s vapid, boring and can’t act. I guess his bland good looks got him the gig? (Or a casting couch situation, as I’m starting to suspect of all mediocre but pretty actors/resses now.)

  80. suzy67 says

    Justin Hartley. I wonder how long before he’s disloyal to that annoying new wife like he was the old one.

  83. whateverwillbe14 says

    Actor: Justin Hartley, who just signed with CAA
    Soap Operas: Passions & The Young and the Restless
    TV Show: This Is Us

    [Optional] Both. It’s disloyal because they probably had to work overtime to try to find him roles to fit his limited talent (been watching since his Passions days). However, this is a business and if he feels the bigger agency can do what they could not, that is his right. It’ll be interesting if the bigger agency works solely for him; which I doubt they will.
