Actor Mekai Curtis has officially signed with Jill Fritzo Public Relations for public relations representation. Senior publicist Michael Geiser and publicist Kyla Chalmers will lead his publicity campaigns and media strategy.
Curtis recently wrapped his breakout, career-defining starring role as the young Kanan Stark in Starz’s hit drama Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The series aired its fourth season in March 2025 and concluded its fifth and final season in August 2026. He received widespread critical praise for playing the younger version of the character originated by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
Before leading the Power universe, Curtis established himself across television, voicing Zack Underwood in Disney’s Milo Murphy’s Law and co-starring as Fish in Disney XD’s live-action series Kirby Buckets.
Joining Jill Fritzo PR gives Curtis dedicated publicity support as he shapes his next phase in Hollywood. The signing reflects continued growth for the agency founded by industry veteran Jill Fritzo. Earlier this year, actress and singer Victoria Justice signed on to guide her press strategy across film and entrepreneurial ventures.
Curtis’ signing also mirrors key talent representation shifts across the industry, similar to when Milo Manheim signed with CAA for representation to expand his film career, and Cody Simpson signed with Align PR for public relations to manage multi-hyphenate ventures.
With Geiser and Chalmers guiding his publicity, Curtis is positioned to explore new feature film roles and brand opportunities.
Takeaways
Aligning with Jill Fritzo PR right after Power Book III: Raising Kanan finished its five-season run in August 2026 is deliberate, smart positioning.
Curtis proved his dramatic range carrying a flagship cable series, but transitioning away from a character as iconic as Kanan Stark requires a proactive narrative shift.
Bringing on Michael Geiser and Kyla Chalmers gives him the media infrastructure needed to reintroduce himself to studios, independent filmmakers, and brand partners.
For rising young stars leaving major franchise universes, personal publicists ensure that momentum translates directly into long-term industry leverage.
How will Curtis’ new PR strategy assist his pivot from long-running cable television into prestige feature films? What genres should Curtis pursue next to ensure audiences see his range beyond crime drama?
