Although they’re the lesser-known talent behind the onscreen stars, agents and casting directors are the oil that keeps a film, television series, or theater production running. Thankfully, they are given their due each year at the Heller Awards. The 14th annual Heller Awards are right around the corner, hitting the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday, Nov. 10. Presented by the Talent Managers Association (Tma), the awards honor the best agents and casting directors working today. Past honorees include Jeff Witjas, longtime agent of Betty White, Mary Tyler Moore, and others; John Papsidera, whose casting director credits include Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy; Larry Thompson, who represents William Shatner and was agent to the late, great Joan Rivers; Sarah Finn, who cast “The Avengers” and “Guardians of the Galaxy”; and the list goes on. Time and again, Tma has recognized the best of the best, and this year is no exception.
