- CAA recruited Steve Roy to its Motion Picture Literary department from Buchwald, where he started as an assistant before being promoted to agent in 2023.
- Roy's Buchwald client roster included writer-director Juan Pablo González ('Dos Estaciones'), Nicholas Colia ('Griffin in Summer'), Alan Scott Neal ('Last Straw'), Luke Shanahan ('Rabbit'), and 'There's Something About Mary' screenwriter John Strauss.
- Roy will be based in CAA's Los Angeles office and reports to Motion Picture Literary department co-heads Dan Rabinow and Ida Ziniti.
- CAA expanded its talent roster with recent signings including musician Alicia Keys, showrunner Celeste Parr and her Punctuation Media banner, influencer Nara Smith, and chef Kwame Onwuachi.
- CAA launched Frame1Games, a venture that pairs multi-million-dollar capital investment with a yearlong accelerator to fund and market indie video game projects.
Why it matters: CAA is one of Hollywood's dominant talent agencies, and adding an agent with Roy's indie-film client roster deepens its writer-director bench. The hire arrives alongside concrete CAA moves into gaming (Frame1Games) and high-profile talent signings like Alicia Keys and Celeste Parr — a visible multi-vertical expansion within the same period.
