“. . .Daniel Birnbaum, an agent who represents actors including Melissa O’Neil (“The Rookie”), Nicole Power (“Kim’s Convenience”) and Jason Diaz (“The 100”), launched Vision Drag last month in partnership with Toronto’s The Talent House, where he has worked for nine years.
The 20 artists on the roster include “Canada’s Drag Race” stars Lemon, BOA and Kyne; seasoned veterans such as Farra N. Hyte and Nicolette Brown; drag king ZacKey Lime; and ingenues such as the popular brunch host Erin Brockobić. The idea came to Birnbaum one night in June: he wrote a business proposal that evening and presented it to Bruce Dean, owner of The Talent House, the next day. . .”
Birnbaum says potential clients have been receptive. “It’s been almost like, ‘Finally,’” he says. “I was pleasantly surprised. It indicated that it was the right time to push this forward.” He has yet to announce a deal but notes that he is in talks for social-media campaigns, personal appearances and onscreen work.
