Robert Haas has been a Talent Representative for over 20 years – working at some of the top talent agencies in the industry – including ICM and the William Morris Agency.  He has sought after and negotiated opportunities for actors in all areas of film and television.  He has also discovered and represented some of the top star-talent of today’s entertainment industry.

Haas was born and raised in Los Angeles, where he began an early interest in the arts – including acting, writing, and music.  He attended California State University, Northridge where he received a BA in Political Science with a specialty in International Relations.  Haas was accepted to the University of Louisville MFA Program in Theatre Arts, where he studied all aspects of theatre with an emphasis in Acting.  While there, he starred in numerous productions, was Founder and Editor of STAGE LIFE, a Graduate Teacher in undergraduate Drama, and interned at the highly respected Actors Theatre of Louisville.  Haas spent the last summer of his MFA program at Yale University, studying Acting, Script Analysis, and Stage Production.  He attended lectures with theatre icons such as Lloyd Richards and August Wilson.  It was here where Haas began to understand acting as both an art and a business, and in 1995 returned to Los Angeles.

As many Hollywood stories began, Haas started in the mailroom at ICM.  But it wasn’t long before he became Assistant to the Vice President, who represented A-list stars.  Haas learned the business of representation, the art of negotiation, and the necessities of industry relationships.  When the President and VPs of ICM moved to the William Morris Agency, Haas was asked to join as an agent in film and television.

As a Talent Agent, Haas has found his background to give him invaluable insight into spotting undiscovered talent.  In addition, he has witnessed a massive industry movement towards family entertainment.  He has a passion for helping actors achieve their goals in both art and business.
