Melanie Hawthorne-Toogood

Manager / Senior Agent

 

Melanie has over 25 years experience as a senior-level agent developing, managing and accelerating careers of Lead actors (Series Leads, Feature Film Leads, Recurring Guest Stars and more) for bookings in Canada, the U.S. and abroad.  She also represents a select roster of top-booking Commercial and Voice actors.

 

Lead clients describe Melanie as "Fierce", "Supportive", "Reliable", "Unmatched", "Master Connector",  "Passionate",  "Assertive", "Outstanding Communicator", "A privilege to work with", (and she got a kick out of this one, from multiple clients... "Badass"!).

 

She is a well-respected agent who leverages worldwide contacts for her exclusive and award winning roster of actors, keeping her roster small to ensure everyone’s potential is maximized and careers are managed carefully and strategically. Melanie is known for her diplomacy and tenacity with negotiating contracts and securing significant offers in the film industry.
