Get to know our staff:
 Hi, I'm Liz Knight, Agency Director and owner of KnightStar Talent Mgmt. I have been in this business for over 9 years as a Talent Scout, Agent, Extras Coordinator, and Agency Director. We represent Actors, Voiceover Talent, Models, and Extras. I grew up just outside of Detroit, then went to BYU, Dallas, Florida, and back to Utah again. I have a passion for singing and music, as well as the film and television industry. I love helping people progress with their acting or modeling careers or just have fun as background extras. It's very rewarding to see someone so happy- making great money doing something they love. One of the most exciting parts of doing this is telling my Talent that they were chosen for callbacks, roles, and more bookings! Can't wait to work with you!

 Hello, I'm Tony Knight, Finance Director and Talent Scout . When we started this business we did so with the intent of creating a safe haven for Talent in an industry where agencies can sometimes be the biggest impediment to a career! We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with all of our Talent, and keeping them focused on the important things - training, auditions, and paid bookings! I have been acting myself now for about 4 years. I also serve the agency by handling its finances, using my Masters in Public Administration as a tool to keep us financially streamlined. I am from Florida, but love to live here in Utah. I love the good things the film and television industry can do. We look forward to working with you!
