She also won a Golden Globe for the role and collected four Emmy nominations across her career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her television work includes 46 episodes of <em>Switched at Birth<\/em>, recurring roles on <em>The West Wing<\/em> and <em>The L Word<\/em>, and a SAG Award-winning ensemble turn in the Best Picture winner <em>CODA<\/em> (2021). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, the documentary <em>Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore<\/em>, directed by <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/shoshannah-stern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shoshannah Stern<\/a>, premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, bringing fresh attention to her four-decade career. In June 2026, she served as commencement speaker at the University of Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing fits a clear pattern of established performers restructuring their teams around producing ambitions. Much like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jessica-alba-signs-with-untitled-entertainment-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jessica Alba&#8217;s recent deal with Untitled Entertainment for management<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/kate-beckinsale-signs-with-strand-entertainment-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kate Beckinsale&#8217;s move to Strand Entertainment<\/a>, Matlin&#8217;s new partnership reflects a strategic pivot toward greater creative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilbertson Entertainment, run by former ICM agent Gordon Gilbertson, has produced Emmy-winning projects including <em>The Incredible Mrs. Ritchie<\/em> and is currently in production on <em>Anna Pigeon<\/em> for USA Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 2024, the company signed <em>Twilight<\/em> and FBI franchise actor <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/kellan-lutz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kellan Lutz<\/a> for management. The firm also manages <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/melissa-joan-hart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melissa Joan Hart<\/a> (<em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch<\/em>, <em>Melissa &amp; Joey<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matlin continues with Innovative Artists for talent representation and The Initiative Group for public relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marlee Matlin adding Gilbertson Entertainment to her team isn&#8217;t just a roster move; it&#8217;s a statement of intent. At 60, with a Sundance documentary behind her and a producing lane she&#8217;s actively building, this signing suggests she wants a manager who knows how to develop talent for the long haul, not just book jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon Gilbertson&#8217;s Emmy-producing background makes him a natural fit for a client whose goals are increasingly on the creative and production side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add in the cultural moment <em>CODA<\/em> created for Deaf representation and Matlin&#8217;s history as a disability advocate, and this partnership has the potential to generate projects that go well beyond a typical management deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does this deal signal a push toward prestige TV or film that could put Matlin back in awards conversations? How does Gilbertson Entertainment&#8217;s track record as an Emmy-winning producing outfit shape what Matlin can build here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlee Matlin has signed with Gilbertson Entertainment for management across film, television, and producing, with manager Gordon Gilbertson taking the lead on her representation as she expands into new projects.
