EXCLUSIVE: Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence, a pair of partners at L.A.-based management company Atlas Artists, are exiting the company, Deadline has learned.
Notable actor clients for the duo include Hannah Waddingham, the Emmy-winning Ted Lasso star, and Connor Storrie, who is fast on the rise amid his work on the breakout Crave/HBO Max series Heated Rivalry.
Sources indicated that this is an amicable parting of ways; it’s not yet determined where the two managers will land or which clients will be coming with them.
“We had a wonderful tenure at Atlas Artists,” Todisco and Pence said. “We learned so much and made many great and long-standing relationships that will continue on. We will dearly miss the whole Atlas Artists team and are looking forward to our next chapter.”

Atlas Artists’ President and VP, Dave Fleming and Tory Howard, said in a joint statement: “Nick and Brad have been valued members of Atlas Artists for many years and will be missed by the team here. We have enjoyed watching them grow and are grateful for their contributions. We wish them nothing but the very best in the next chapters of their careers, and we have no doubt our paths will cross in the future.”
Pence joined Atlas Artists, the management division of Charles Roven’s Atlas Entertainment, in 2018. Known for his work alongside both established and emerging talent across film, scripted and unscripted television and digital — and for bridging the gaps between these spaces — he was promoted to partner earlier this year, as we first reported. Prior to Atlas, he worked as a manager at Primary Wave Entertainment for six years, prior to that spending time at both Industry Entertainment and ROAR.
A partner at Atlas since 2022, Todisco has been with the firm since its inception in 2014. He joined from Mosaic after beginning his career at Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
