Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence have joined Linden Entertainment as partners, with Brendan Fraser already part of the firm’s roster. The move comes after both left Atlas Artists, and it shifts two managers with established client lists into a company founded in 2020.
The pair’s arrival gives Linden Entertainment two new partners in one move. Todisco joined Atlas at the firm’s inception in 2014 and was upped to partner in 2022, while Pence joined Atlas Artists in 2018 after earlier work at Primary Wave Entertainment and in development at Mandate Pictures.
Linden Entertainment in 2020
Linden Entertainment was founded in 2020 by Nicole King and Stacy O’Neil, and it is led by Nicole King, Stacy O’Neil, JoAnne Colonna, and Linden Riva Marker. The company already represents Brendan Fraser, along with Amy Adams, Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, Vin Diesel, Eiza Gonzalez, Vanessa Kirby, and Forest Whitaker, so Todisco and Pence are stepping into an established client base rather than building from zero.
JoAnne Colonna said, “The careers of Nicholas and Brad speak for themselves; they have an exceptional track record of identifying and strategically representing a range of talent, setting the standard in our rapidly evolving industry. They are likeminded and a perfect fit to the bespoke ethos of Linden. We are thrilled to begin this next chapter together.”
Atlas Artists clients stay split
Some of Todisco and Pence’s clients will continue to be co-managed at Atlas Artists, which means the move is not a clean handoff of every relationship. In practice, that leaves a split representation structure in place while the managers shift their primary home to Linden Entertainment.
The unresolved piece is the client list itself: the move establishes who changed firms, but not which clients will follow Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence and which will remain co-managed at Atlas Artists. For readers tracking representation changes, that is the part that will determine how much of the business really moved.
Brendan Fraser and the roster
Brendan Fraser matters here because he is part of the scale Linden Entertainment already brings to the table. For a firm built in 2020, adding Todisco and Pence expands both its bench and its ability to service a list that already includes name value across film and television, while Brendan Fraser leads pressure on a returning series slate as the company keeps widening its footprint.
Brendan Fraser is the clearest sign that this is a roster play, not a title swap. Todisco and Pence bring clients, Linden Entertainment adds two partners, and the only real open question is how many of those accounts move with them versus staying co-managed at Atlas Artists.
