BMG Talent

What BMG Talent does

BMG Talent Group is a privately held talent representation agency founded in 2006 by Gregory Brown, who continues to serve as President and Founder. The company represents union and non-union talent across women, men, trans/non-binary individuals, girls, boys, and voiceover categories, serving casting directors and producers in TV, Film, Voiceover, and Live Theatre productions. The agency operates through six physical branch offices across major US entertainment markets — New York (headquarters), Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, and Atlanta — providing national casting reach from a single-vendor relationship. BMG Talent holds membership in the Association of Talent Agents (ATA) and operates as a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Affiliate, allowing it to represent union talent for SAG-covered productions.

The company's primary product surface is its searchable online portfolio platform (bmgtalent.com), which enables casting professionals to filter talent by location, union status, gender, and category. The website is supplemented by an Instagram presence for talent promotion and brand visibility. There is no mobile app, no API, no disclosed integrations, and no proprietary technology stack beyond a standard website CMS.

BMG Talent generates revenue through commissions earned on talent bookings secured by the agency, taking a percentage of performers' earnings on placements it facilitates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by individual representation agreements and booking rates. The customer base consists of casting directors, producers, and production companies across the US entertainment industry — a fragmented, high-volume buyer pool rather than a small set of enterprise anchor accounts. No external institutional investment, private equity ownership, or public listing has been disclosed in available sources.
