Veteran Talent Agent Sasha Passero Leaving IAG

Skip to main content Sasha Passero Cindy Ord/PMC Sacha Passero is departing IAG after almost 12 years at the talent agency and its predecessor APA. Passero’s contract has come to an end and was not renewed. A talent agent based in New York, Passero joined APA from Kazarian/Spencer/Ruskin & Associates at the beginning of 2015. The roster of clients she has worked with the agency includes Lily Gladstone, Alicia Witt, Lyndsy Fonseca, Arielle Kebble, Mariana Treviño, Tom Payne and Clark Backo. Passero started her career as an assistant at Innovative Artists before joining KSR in 2011 where she became an agent. End of year is when the bulk of contracts are up, with agencies and management companies trimming ranks by not re-upping everyone. This is especially true in the current post-peak TV industry contraction which has put a squeeze on talent representation firms, especially mid-range and smaller ones.
