Creative Artists Agency
Encyclopedia : C : CR : CRE : Creative Artists Agency
Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is one of the most powerful talent and literary agencies in all of American show business. Headquartered in a I.M. Pei-designed building in Beverly Hills and with offices in New York, Nashville and Beijing, the agency represents a vast array of actors, screenwriters, directors and other "creatives," as well as a variety of "projects," companies and ideas. The agency was founded by superagent Michael Ovitz in 1975, and is now headed by his successors, nicknamed the "young turks", who as of April 2006 are neither young nor Turkish.
After years at their current location, CAA will soon be moving to a new headquarters being constructed in Century City.
