CAA: Up-and-coming stage actor Alexander Sharp is now repped by Peter Levine, Joe Machota and Alex Mebed. Sharp is currently set to make his Broadway debut starring in the lead role in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. The play, which was adapted from the Mark Haddon novel, is on its way from London to Broadway after winning eight Olivier awards this past season, including Best New Play. Sharp, who recently graduated from the Juilliard School, is just beginning his career, having previously appeared in Juilliard’s productions of Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, The Cherry Orchard, The Hostage and Smash amongst others. He continues to be managed by Erin Flack of Erin Flack Management. ICM Partners: Actress Amy Landecker is now repped by Joanne Wiles. Landecker is currently starring opposite Jeffrey Tambor and Gaby Hoffman in Amazon’s dramedy pilot Transparent. She also recently recurred as Dr. Michelle Banks on ABC’s Revenge. Starting off primarily as a stage actress, Landecker moved to Los Angeles at 38 and she has subsequently worked on such features as Dan in Real Life, A Serious Man, All is Bright and Enough Said. She also appeared as a series regular on The Paul Reiser Show and she has a lengthy television resume that includes appearances on Mad Men, Louie, NCIS, House, Curb Your Enthusiasm, House of Lies, Retired at 35 and Vegas. Next up, Landecker is set to appear in the found footage feature Project Almanac, due out in 2015. Paradigm: Actor, writer, director and producer John Stockwell is now repped by Adam Kanter, Nick LoPiccolo, Valarie Phillips, Rich Rogers and Ken Stovitz. Stockwell most recently directed the feature Kid Cannabis, which was released earlier this year, as well as In the Blood starring Gina Carino. Originally beginning his career as an actor, Stockwell appeared in such features as Losin’ it, Top Gun, My Science Project, Christine and the miniseries North and South. He soon branched off into writing and directing as well and Stockwell’s helming credits include Crazy/Beautiful, Blue Crush, Into the Blue, Turistas, Cat Run and Dark Tide. Television-wise, Stockwell has directed multiple episodes of The L Word, as well as the television movie Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden. Stockwell’s next film will be Cat Run 2, currently in post-production. Resolution: Directing team Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott are now repped by Abram Nalibotsky. The duo recently made their feature film directing debut with the horror comedy Cooties, which premiered at Sundance last January. Prior to Cooties, Murnion and Milott started off working in animation, before moving into music videos, commercials and directing short films. The two also founded the New York-based production company Honest and their work has been short-listed at numerous film festivals, including SXSW, Cannes and the Webby Awards. Cooties stars Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill and Jack McBrayer. UTA: Actress Shiri Appleby is now repped by Scott Schachter and Nancy Gates.  Appleby will soon star in Lifetime’s drama series Un-Real, which is set to premiere later this year. Beginning her acting career at age four in various commercials, Appleby soon began to land guest spots on such series as thirtysomething, Who’s the Boss, Doogie Howser M.D. and Baywatch. She got her big break, however, when she landed the lead role of Liz Parker on the WB/UPN series Roswell. Appleby’s subsequent credits have included recurring roles on Six Degrees and ER, as well as starring in the CW drama Life Unexpected. More recently, she recurred on Chicago Fire and had a memorable arc playing Adam Driver’s girlfriend Natalia on the HBO series Girls. Appleby’s feature credits have included The Battle of Shaker Heights, What Love is and Charlie Wilson’s War. UTA: Visual effects animator and director Daniel “Hashi” Hashimoto is now repped by Greg Goodfried and Ali Barash. Hashimoto has acquired a large YouTube following, racking up over 32 million views for his series of Action Movie Kid shorts, which star his three-year-old son in special effects-enhanced homemade shorts. The popular shorts landed him an appearance on Good Morning America and a deal to create branded content for several toy lines. A longtime DreamWorks Animation and visual effects professional, Hashimoto’s prior credits included How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda 2 and the television series Pair of Kings. Hashimoto hopes to parlay his YouTube success into feature film directing opportunities and expand the Action Movie Kid brand into books, products and feature spin-offs. UTA: Broadway star Joshua Henry is now repped by Chris Highland, Logan Eisenberg and Brian Swardstrom. Henry is currently starring in a Tony-nominated performance in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Violet, opposite Sutton Foster and Colin Donnell. He also recently appeared on the Lifetime series Army Wives, playing Quincy Montclair. Henry is probably best known, however, for his role as Haywood Patterson in the musical The Scottsboro Boys, for which he also received a Tony nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Musical. His other theater roles have included roles in Porgy and Bess, American Idiot, In the Heights and The Wiz. Henry’s film and television credits have included the features Sex and the City and Winter’s Tale, as well as the television series Nip/Tick, Kings and Once Upon a Time.
