Hollywood talent agency UTA pulled off a major coup on Tuesday, stealing high-profile agents who represent Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, and Melissa McCarthy, among other stars, from larger rival CAA.
Pratt's manager confirmed the actor's move to UTA while representatives for Ferrell and McCarthy did not respond to requests for comment. It's expected they too will join UTA, according to people with knowledge of the deal.
