Harley Copen is shifting gears in the entertainment world. After two decades as a motion picture agent, he is now stepping into a management role. Copen is leaving Creative Artists Agency, or CAA, to join 3 Arts Entertainment. This move comes after CAA's big acquisition of ICM Partners for $750 million.

At CAA, Copen had a long list of clients. He worked with a mix of film and TV artists. These included Patrick Aison, Scott Beck, and Bryan Woods, among many others. He started his career back in 2001 at Broder Webb Chervin Silbermann. Copen had a lot to say about his time at CAA. He expressed gratitude for the experiences and the impact he made on his clients' careers. He is now excited to start fresh at 3 Arts.

3 Arts Entertainment is no small player. They have produced some big hits. Their work includes the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning show Hacks. They also have a hand in several Netflix projects, like Blue Eye Samurai. The company has a strong history in comedy, backing shows like The Office and Parks & Recreation.

Oly Obst, from 3 Arts, had kind words for Copen. He described him as a fantastic and honorable person. Obst also noted Copen's strong advocacy for his clients. The entertainment industry is always changing, and Copen's move is a sign of that. It will be interesting to see how his new role shapes his career and the projects he takes on.

Copen's journey is a reminder that success in entertainment often means adapting and evolving. His shift from agent to manager could open new doors. It could also bring fresh ideas to 3 Arts. As the industry continues to grow, it is important to stay flexible and open to new opportunities.
