Jackson White has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for Film/TV theatrical representation, departing from Creative Artists Agency (CAA). His WME team includes agents Ashley Hanley, Brandt Joel, Dahbin Han, and Max Rudman.
White rose to prominence playing the charismatic and manipulative Stephen DeMarco in Hulu and Disney+’s Tell Me Lies, opposite Grace Van Patten.
The series, based on Carola Lovering’s bestselling novel and created by Meaghan Oppenheimer, debuted in 2022 and became a cultural phenomenon, with White’s performance at its center.
Beyond the show, his film résumé has grown steadily. He led Paramount+’s Pet Sematary: Bloodlines as a young Jud Crandall, appeared alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Michael Bay’s Ambulance, and starred in Swiped, inspired by Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival before landing on Hulu and Disney+.
Up next, White joins the star-studded cast of Legendary’s live-action Gundam feature for Netflix, alongside Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo, currently filming in Australia.
This signing follows WME’s recent momentum in locking up breakout talent, including Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Sophia Lillis earlier in 2026.
He continues with Untitled Entertainment for management, Shelter PR for publicity, and DT Model Management for modeling.
Takeaways
This move feels well-timed. Jackson White isn’t just a TV star anymore, with Gundam on the horizon for Netflix, he’s clearly pivoting toward big-screen franchise territory, and WME is exactly the kind of agency built to move those pieces.
The fact that he’s keeping his full support team in place (Untitled Entertainment, Shelter PR, and DT Model Management) signals this is a calculated, surgical upgrade on the agency side, not an overhaul. WME has been on a signing streak with rising dramatic actors in 2026, and White fits that profile neatly.
Will White transition primarily to film, or will he return for more Tell Me Lies content given its loyal fanbase? Could White’s dual presence in TV drama and big-budget film make him one of the more versatile leading men in his generation?
