Coast To Coast Talent Group

What Coast To Coast Talent Group does

Coast to Coast Talent Group is a privately held, full-service talent agency headquartered in Los Angeles, California, operating continuously for over 36 years under family leadership (Jeremiah Doryon as President, Elyah Doryon as VP). The agency represents entertainment professionals across five specialized divisions: Youth, Adult Commercial, Theatrical, Voice Over, and Print & Modeling, serving actors, models, and voice-over talent pursuing careers in film, television, commercials, animation, and fashion.

The agency generates revenue exclusively through commissions on bookings it secures for its roster of represented talent, collecting payment from studios, production companies, and brands before remitting the net amount to talent. It operates a referral-driven, relationship-intensive go-to-market motion: the Youth division accepts submissions only via industry referral, while the Adult Commercial and other divisions accept direct submissions to specific agents. Distribution is handled through direct, field-level outreach by agents to casting directors, ad agencies, commercial directors, and production companies nationwide, with no proprietary technology platform mediating the workflow.

The agency has no disclosed external institutional investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates at a boutique scale of approximately 12 team members. Notable track-record signals include three Academy Award nominees produced through its Youth Division (Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Joel Osment) and an Adult Commercial department led by Hugh Leon, a three-time Agent of the Year awardee, that books hundreds of commercials annually with major brands.

Revenue model

1. Commission-based talent representation: Agency generates revenue through commission on bookings secured for represented talent. When talent is booked on jobs through the agency, CTC earns commission and remits compensation to the talent. The agency collects payment from employers (studios, production companies, brands) and deducts their commission before paying talent.
