Talent agent Brian Wittenstein is starting a new company, Prototype Talent Agency, which he is forming with many of his existing clients, including Italia Ricci (Designated survivor, the imperfect), WWE’s “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes (Arrow, Go Big Show) and Piper Curda (Legacies, American Pie Presents: Rules for Girls).

The agency will also represent professional wrestling talent for their wrestling deals, including Rhodes and WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with some amazing colleagues in Hollywood for nearly a decade, and I’m very excited to use my knowledge, experience and connections to create a new destination for talent representation,” said Wittenstein said. “I am grateful for the support of my clients, industry colleagues, family and friends. This dream is now a reality. My past, present and future will all be part of this company.”
In Hollywood, Wittenstein worked at APA before joining Hyperion following its inception in 2017.
