Brave Artists Management Taps Reload Founder Mhair Zeitounian as Manager
“I’ve known Mhair for years and have always admired the ambition and hard work with which he built his management company and continued to grow it. His gift for discovering and nurturing emerging talent is exceptional, and I’m excited to see him bring that same energy and vision to Brave Artists Management,” said CEO Mike Gillespie in a statement.
Born in Hollywood to immigrant parents, Zeitounian got his first taste of the entertainment industry as a child actor. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a communications degree, he interned for Sandra Chang at Industry Entertainment, worked full time at CESD Talent Agency and, after three years, transitioned to management at Zero Gravity. Soon after, he launched a full-service talent management company with Reload at age 25, discovering and breaking young talent in TV, film, music and the influencer space.
One of Zeitounian’s career highlights includes discovering Oscar winner Mikey Madison and placing her on her first job, FX’s Better Things, which jumpstarted her nascent career. He also helped Girl Meets World star Corey Fogelmanis transition out of Disney Channel with projects like Ma and My Life with the Walter Boys.
His client list features Vache Tovmasyan (Anora), Jonas Bloquet (The Nun, 1899), Craig Arnold (Degrassi, Impulse), Issac Ryan Brown (The Sex Lives of College Girls, Raven’s Home, Black-ish), Nina Lu (Bunk’d), Dana Vaughns (Never Have I Ever), Madisyn Shipman (Game Shakers) and Greg Cipes (Teen Titans, Fast & Furious).
