Levine eyes move to CAA

Fraser, Perry representative may leave WMA

Senior talent agent Peter Levine — who reps such thesps as Brendan Fraser and Matthew Perry — is ankling the William Morris Agency and is expected to join Creative Artists Agency later this month.

Neither Levine nor CAA would confirm his change of employment, but it’s understood that reps for Levine are ironing out an early release from his WMA contract, which is to expire in March.

WMA declined comment, but one insider said Levine’s departure was made by mutual consent.

Although CAA would not discuss Levine’s hiring, the move was given more credibility with confirmation Wednesday that the agency had signed Levine client and “Friends” star Perry.

In addition to Perry, during his six years at WMA, Levine nurtured the careers of Fraser, Maura Tierney, Jordana Brewster, Carla Gugino and Peter Facinelli — all of whom are expected to join him at CAA.

At WMA, Levine also looked after the careers of Gillian Anderson, Natassja Kinski and Patrick Swayze. It’s unclear which, if any, of these clients will be joining him.

Assuming his deal is worked out, Levine will become the latest WMA rep to move to CAA. Most recently, former WMA talent department co-head, Michael Gruber, joined CAA in August, following senior directors rep Josh Donen, who joined the firm a year before. Craig Gering, an agent in WMA’s New York office, also recently announced his departure from the firm and is expected to join CAA in November.
