Rick Ferrari is a talent agent, agency founder and Broadway producer credited for being a revolutionary force[1] in Hollywood over a four decade career.
Ferrari began his career in New York City at Zoli Models in 1981, continuing to work as a model agent through the mid-90s. He later worked as a talent manager with Sandy Gallin at Gallin Morey Associates where he managed Dolly Parton.[2], and at Photogenics in 2008 representing Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Walker for branding endorsements. [3]
At talent agency Don Buchwald & Associates, Ferrari headed the west coast commercial/branding division for the company [4] as it hit its four decade mark in the industry and rebranded to Buchwald for the milestone.[5]
Ferrari's work in branding endorsements gave way to the growth of the on-camera roster, ultimately leading to him opening his own firm, Ferrari Talent[6] where he represents such actors as Cameron Cowperthwaite[7] and Margo Parker[8]
Ferrari's agency experience prompted invitations to participate in workshops and podcasts[9][10], including being a guest speaker at The Actor's Lab where he joined such luminaries as Michael Patrick King, Mimi Leder, and Jim Belushi in ongoing Actor's Lab coursework.[11]
In the 2017 book, Inside Studio 54, Mark Fleischman noted that Ferrari frequented Studio 54 as a companion to Bill Aucoin, manager of KISS, and was strong enough to survive the hard-partying days of the Studio 54 era, creating a successful Hollywood career as both manager and agent.[12]
For the January 2000 issue of Genre (magazine), Ferrari was photographed by Herb Ritts with David Geffen[13], who was featured in a cover story celebrating 100 men of the new millennium and who Ferrari credits as a lifelong friend and mentor.[14]
During the industry-wide writers and actors strike of 2023, Ferrari Talent focused on the commercial market where production did not stop, providing work options for many.[15]
Producing Work
In 2012, the Hollywood Reporter announced the Go-Go's musical Head Over Heels (musical) with Rick Ferrari, Donovan Leitch and Gwyneth Paltrow as producers.[16]
Using the music of the 1980s all-girl supergroup, the musical had its world premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon in 2015 and a pre-Broadway tryout at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre in the spring of 2018.[17]
The Head Over Heels Broadway production was led by Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (director) with musical supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner Tom Kitt (musician) and original book by Tony winner Jeff Whitty.[18]
The musical opened at the Hudson Theatre on July 26, 2018 and played 188 regular performances and 37 previews by the time it played its final performance Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019.[19]
It was nominated for several awards including Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical by Drama League Awards, winning a Theatre World Award for Bonnie Milligan's debut performance.[20]
That same year, Ferrari and the producing team joined Sony Masterworks Broadway to announce the release of the original Broadway cast recording.[21]
In 2019, Ferrari joined director Brian Corso to produce the documentary "Public Figure" which examined Rose McGowan and others who influence public opinion on the internet. Gravitas Ventures picked up worldwide rights and the film had its world premiere at the Manchester International Film Festival.[22]
