His diverse background also consists of two stints as an actor, once from 6 – 8 and another from 21 – 23 year old, working in A&R and PR for his family’s record label, taking a technology company public through a reverse merger, and a former life in politics that afforded him the opportunity to work with Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and House Minority Whip David Bonior, to name a few.
Andrew Vosper (Commercial Department)
A rising star in the commercial world, Andrew’s passion for commercial representation has distinguished him as one of the top young agents in the field. Prior to joining Ideal, Andrew was an agent at Trio Talent Agency. He began in the entertainment industry as an actor, but soon determined that his passions lie not in front of the camera, but in facilitating the careers of artists as part of the business side of the industry as he initially served social media manager for music groups. He made the transition from the music industry to to working with producers, directors, and actors in TV and film when he joined the production company CRC Entertainment as the assistant to the two heads of the company. Agenting would prove the exact combination of his various passions: facilitating actors’ success, getting to work with actors’ with a mastery of their craft, and working in a highly competitive but rewarding industry. Andrew is a graduate of Indiana University.
