Prior to launching a career in talent management and entertainment I developed my skills in brand management, representing top tier packaged goods. My success in entertainment is a direct result of this early training. I create unique, long-term strategies for my clients to develop their individual careers. Working with our clients, we carefully select and proactively approach projects that work towards their overall goals.

I began my career in entertainment in the mail room of ICM, starting in the agent trainee program and quickly worked my way out of the mailroom to assist such senior agents as Jeremy Zimmer, and Ed Limato. During my training with Limato, I was fortunate to work with such clients as Denzel Washington, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mel Gibson, Geena Davis and Richard Gere. After approximately one year of assisting Limato, I was promoted to full agent status in the Talent Department. After several years of agenting, I left to start my own management and production company, Michael Levine Management. Shame, a two-hour movie, was one of our first projects, that launched the re-vamped Lifetime Network. The film garnered multiple awards and was a ratings success.

It is important to remain steady and supportive of my clients wherever they are in their careers. Long term client relationships are an important part of our business so when we take on clients we strive to create goals for long term success. Longevity, creativity, uniqueness and quality is my approach to management.
