Paradigm Hires Former WME Talent Agent Elizabeth Wiederseim
Talent agent Elizabeth Wiederseim has joined Paradigm talent agency after losing her job at WME during layoffs in March. She will work from Paradigm's Los Angeles office, and many of her former clients are expected to follow her.
Elizabeth Wiederseim has found a new job at Paradigm talent agency after being laid off from WME in March. The move gives her a fresh start at one of Hollywood's major talent agencies.
Wiederseim will be based in Paradigm's Los Angeles office. Industry sources expect many of the clients she represented at WME to follow her to the new agency, which is common when talent agents switch companies.
At WME, Wiederseim represented high-profile actors including Colman Domingo, who received Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for his role in "Rustin." She also worked with Leo Woodall, the rising star from "The White Lotus."
WME conducted layoffs in March that affected multiple talent agents across the company. The cuts reflected broader changes in Hollywood as streaming and other industry shifts force agencies to adjust their business models.
This hire shows how Hollywood's talent agency business works - when agents move, they often bring their celebrity clients with them. It also reflects ongoing changes in the entertainment industry as agencies restructure their operations.
Watch for announcements of which clients will follow Wiederseim to Paradigm in the coming weeks.
