Ivy Wolk has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for representation across comedy, film/TV, and brand partnerships, making the move from UTA.
The 21-year-old Los Angeles–born actress and comedian has built serious momentum in a short time. Her breakout came with Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning Anora, where she played Crystal, a role she famously landed after cold DM’ing Baker on Instagram while still in high school. From there, Wolk has barely slowed down.
She recently appeared in Outcome, the Jonah Hill-directed Apple Original film starring Keanu Reeves that premiered in April 2026, and stars in Netflix’s comedy Roommates, directed by Chandler Levack, alongside Sadie Sandler and Chloe East.
She also features in Andrew De Young’s A24 comedy Friendship, opposite Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson. Her films If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Napa Boys both screened at TIFF, and she recurred on Brian Jordan Alvarez‘s FX series English Teacher.
WME has been on a comedy signing spree in 2026. The agency recently brought on stand-up comedian and actor Rick Glassman and earlier added Chris Thomas Devlin and Donal Finn to its growing client roster.
At WME, Wolk’s comedy team is led by agents Grace Goldstein and Marcus Levy, with Amanda Hacohen handling Film/TV Literary, Ashley Hanley on Film/TV Theatrical, and Josh Upfal covering Brand Partnerships. She continues her management relationship with Curate.
Takeaways
Ivy Wolk is not your average emerging talent. She arrived on the scene through Instagram DMs, built a cult following online through razor-sharp social commentary, appeared in one of the most celebrated arthouse films in recent memory, and has somehow stacked her filmography with A24, Apple TV+, Netflix, and FX credits, all before her 22nd birthday.
The WME signing isn’t a hype move; it’s a signal that the industry is formally catching up to what the internet already knew.
Moving from UTA to WME with a four-agent team across comedy, literary, theatrical, and brand partnerships suggests Wolk and her team have a deliberate, multi-lane strategy in place, not just for acting, but for building her brand at scale.
The brand partnerships angle is particularly notable for someone who has a deeply organic online persona; monetizing that correctly is a delicate balance.
The brand partnerships department is now part of her WME team, which brands do you think are the right fit for Ivy Wolk’s very specific, internet-native persona? Could Wolk’s combination of stand-up, film, and a massive online following make her one of the defining multi-hyphenate comedians of her generation?
