Lovie Simone has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for representation in all areas. Agent Logan Eisenberg will handle her in Film/TV Theatrical. She was previously repped by Buchwald.
The 27-year-old Bronx-born actress is best known for her breakout role as Zora Greenleaf in OWN’s Greenleaf (2016–2020).
She has since built steady momentum, and currently stars as Keisha Clark in Netflix’s Forever, adapted by Girlfriends creator Mara Brock Akil from Judy Blume’s 1975 novel, reimagined around a modern-day Black couple in high school. Season 1 debuted in May 2025, and Season 2 is now in production.
The role earned Simone nominations for an NAACP Image Award, a Gotham TV Award, and a Film Independent Spirit Award, and landed her on Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood list in 2025. She is also set to appear in the upcoming horror thriller Oddities, targeting a 2026 release.
UTA has been aggressively expanding its talent roster. The agency recently signed Emma Roberts and veteran filmmaker Barry Levinson, signaling the agency’s continued push across film and television.
Simone continues with BDO Entertainment for management and Jill Fritzo Public Relations for publicity.
