Baron Davis, the former NBA point guard turned producer, actor, and entrepreneur, has signed with Buchwald for representation across all areas. The agency will rep Davis in film/TV (theatrical and literary), voiceover, brand partnerships, digital, publishing, and personal appearances.
At Buchwald, Stephanie Corvino will handle voiceover, Ryan Martin covers film/TV theatrical, Max Nagler oversees brand partnerships and digital, Noah Ballard manages film/TV literary, and Tony D. Burton and Scott Kaufman handle personal appearances.
Davis is a two-time NBA All-Star who played 13 seasons in the league for the Charlotte Hornets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks, before officially concluding his professional playing career in 2016. He led the league in steals twice during his career and most recently appeared as a contestant on the latest season of Dancing with the Stars.
Beyond basketball, Davis has quietly built a serious production résumé. His credits include Crips and Bloods: Made in America, ESPN’s 30 for 30: Sole Man, and The Drew: No Excuse, Just Produce. He also executive-produced Hulu’s WTF, Baron Davis and made his feature directorial debut with the 2021 comedy Domino: Battle of the Bones, which he also wrote and starred in.
Davis is the founder of the Black Santa Company, a media company dedicated to promoting Black representation through original characters, animation, and children’s content, along with ventures Sports Lifestyle in Culture (SLiC), Business Inside the Game (B.I.G.), and More Than Us.
The agency has been aggressively building its entertainment roaster, a move consistent with recent signings like Morenike Joela Evans and Princeton Perez, as well as international talent such as Agustina Palma.
Davis joins a growing sports roster that includes Olympian Apolo Ohno, NFL stars Tommy DeVito and Prince Amukamara, and OBL (One Basketball League), co-founded by NBA legend Tracy McGrady.
Takeaways
This signing tells you a lot about where the entertainment industry is headed. Athletes who have built real business and creative portfolios, not just names attached to a brand deal, are becoming some of the most sought-after clients in Hollywood.
Baron Davis isn’t walking into Buchwald as a retired athlete looking for a cameo. He’s arriving as an established filmmaker, a founder, and an executive producer with a proven track record. That’s a full creative career in its own right.
What’s also notable is how Buchwald structured the deal, six agents across five distinct verticals. That’s not a generalist arrangement; it signals that the agency sees genuine, separate revenue streams in each lane Davis operates in. From voiceover to literary to brand partnerships, they’re treating him like a multi-hyphenate, not a novelty.
Buchwald’s sports division is also becoming increasingly hard to ignore. With Davis, Ohno, DeVito, and McGrady’s OBL all under one roof, the agency is building a credible crossover practice that bridges athletics and entertainment in a meaningful way.
Following the release of Domino: Battle of the Bones, what kind of upcoming projects will fully solidify Baron Davis as a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker rather than just an athlete turned entertainer?
How does having Tracy McGrady’s OBL and Baron Davis on the same agency roster open up collaborative or cross-promotional opportunities within Buchwald’s sports portfolio?
