EXCLUSIVE: Veteran talent agent Melisa Spamer, who most recently ran Domain Talent, is joining the talent department of Innovative Artists. She will be based at Innovative Artists’ Los Angeles office.
Spamer began her career at Metropolitan Talent Agency before founding Domain Talent in 2005 with former partners Gabrielle Krengel and Joe Vance in 2005. Over the next decade, Domain grew into a top-tier boutique talent agency. In 2015, Krengel died. The agency carried on for several more years; it was ultimately dissolved after Spamer took Vance to court.
“I have always had great respect for Domain and its success as a boutique talent agency ever since Melisa and her associates launched their company more than fifteen years ago” said Innovative Artists president Scott Harris. “Following the unfortunate death of her co-founder Gabrielle, and having successfully resolved her legal differences with her former partner, we are thrilled that she has chosen to join us at Innovative in this new chapter in her career. She will be a great asset to our talent business, and we are very excited for her to bring her experience and wealth of knowledge to the agency.”
A partial list of clients who will be joining Spamer at Innovative include five-time Emmy nominee Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul), Critics’ Choice nominee Eric Lange (Brand New Cherry Flavor), Honorary Oscar recipient Wes Studi (Hostiles), Brett Cullen (Joker), Rich Sommer (Glow), Sean Bridgers (There’s Something About Pam), Gregg Henry (Hit&Run), Kellee Stewart (Chicago Med) and Romy Rosemont (A Million Little Things).
“Innovative is the perfect home for me and my many longtime clients,” Spamer said. “I am thrilled to be joining this established team of outstanding agents.”

Whoever had “Taylor Swift feuding with Damon Albarn” on their 2022 Bingo Card is…probably cheating.

in a post-screening Q&A, Dunham ran down its many high-minded inspirations. She said she wanted to “give porn its due as something that can be really healing.” And, as a woman who can’t have biological children due to a hysterectomy, Dunham, 35, wished to tell a story about “what it means to make your own family and design your own family and how that’s just as meaningful.” Yes, it is. But does that beautiful message come during the scene when the 26-year-old main character Sarah Jo (Kristine Froseth) scrawls an A-to-Z list of sex acts on colorful construction paper that she’d like to try out with randos? Or when her mom (Jennifer Jason Leigh) gives a vocab lesson on a crude nickname for the male anatomy? Sarah Jo’s sister Treina (Taylour Paige) is adopted, true, but the world is already in universal agreement that adoption is a great thing to do.
