Veteran sports personality Jim Rome has also signed with the agency.
 
In a departure from the old white guy theme, ICM has also signed Never Have I Ever breakout Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
 
At CAA:
 
CAA has had a busy past several weeks, landing the likes of Sterling K. Brown, Charlie Day and Selma Blair.
 
Other notable signs for the Death Star include filmmakers Max Barbakow, Karen Cinorre and Oge Egbuonu, as well as legendary film composer (*Inception sound*) Hans Zimmer.
