The <em>My Name Is Earl<\/em> star has signed with Artists First, with managers Brian Steinberg, Bryan Walsh, and Peter Principato now steering his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee is widely recognized for his starring role as Earl Hickey on NBC&#8217;s <em>My Name Is Earl<\/em>, the Emmy-winning comedy that ran for four seasons and earned him two Golden Globe nominations and two SAG Award nominations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More recently, he appeared in Shondaland&#8217;s Netflix series <em>The Residence<\/em>, playing Tripp Morgan, the president&#8217;s trouble-making younger brother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His film r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is equally deep, from his debut in <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/kevin-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kevin Smith&#8217;s<\/a> <em>Mallrats<\/em> to <em>Chasing Amy<\/em>, where he took home an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Artists First is no boutique operation. With a roster that includes <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/jordan-peele\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jordan Peele<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/martin-lawrence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Martin Lawrence<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/awkwafina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Awkwafina<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/john-travolta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Travolta<\/a>, this is a management company that plays in the big leagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing in a talent like Jason Lee, someone who is both a beloved TV icon <em>and<\/em> a multi-dimensional creative, fits perfectly into their model of working with serious, career-driven artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Lee, the timing feels intentional. After re-entering the spotlight with <em>The Residence<\/em> on Netflix, he&#8217;s clearly building toward something bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pairing new management with an established agency relationship at Buchwald and the PR muscle of Core PR Group gives him a full-stack team going into this next chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could this management deal signal a <em>My Name Is Earl<\/em> revival or is Lee positioning for something entirely new? What does it say about Artists First when they continue to attract multifaceted talent like Lee \u2014 actor, skateboarder, photographer, and entrepreneur?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: Jason Lee New Company: Artists First Primary Managers: Brian Steinberg, Bryan Walsh, Peter Principato Department: Talent Management Territory: United States Jason Lee has a new management team.
