Michael Moore | Founder & Agent

Michael Moore (he/him) moved to New York City from Kansas in 1992 to begin his career as an actor, with the assistance of a major grant from the Kansas Cultural Trust.  A few of his credits include Cyrano, The Musical (Broadway, dir. Ebby Habbema), the original cast of Alan Menken’s A Christmas Carol (Broadway, dir. Mike Ockrent), the national tour of The Scarlet Pimpernel, Bette Midler’s remake of Gypsy on CBS (prod. Craig Zadan & Neil Meron; dir. Emile Ardolino) and HBO’s Mrs. Harris with Annette Bening and Sir Ben Kingsley (prod. Christine Vachon; writer/dir. Phyllis Nagy), among others. During this period, he worked on-and-off as an assistant at Touring Artists Group (now the Booking Group), served as company manager for the South American tour of Grease!, and toured the country of Greece with a millennial concert tour of American Musicals.

In 2001, Michael relocated to Los Angeles to assist Marc Epstein, Nicole Kidman’s manager, at Handprint Entertainment, and subsequently joined Universal Pictures to assist then-President of Production Scott Stuber. While at Universal Studios, he had longterm temporary assignments in the offices of Stacey Snider, Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Cindy Gartner, and Nancy Nemecek. In 2004, Michael founded his own management company in Los Angeles specifically devoted to the representation of creatives and special artists.  One such special artist was Taiwanese piano prodigy Kit Armstrong who Michael placed on The Late Show with David Letterman, subsequently receiving recording offers from Universal Music and Sony/BMG.

Michael produced several concerts for California State University Northridge with renowned artists Frederica von Stade, Linda Eder, The Gramercy Trio, David Parsons, and Metropolitan Opera sensation Angela Brown. He also produced two large-scale “event” international rallies and campaigns in New York City for the United Nations and World Health Organization. In 2005, Michael made his Broadway producing debut with Hal Holbrook’s 50th Anniversary production of Mark Twain Tonight!. In 2008, he produced the Roger Rees’ one-man show What You Will to rave reviews at American Conservatory Theatre, which subsequently played the Royal Shakespeare Company and in London’s West End. That same year, Michael joined Paradigm Talent & Literary Agency in New York as a theatrical literary and booking agent. 

After two years at Paradigm, Michael founded Michael Moore Agency under the umbrella of Smart Magna, a global literary and visual media agency headquartered in Athens, with additional offices in Berlin and Barcelona. Together with business partner, Alex Constantinides, Michael represents writers, composers, directors, designers, choreographers, and music directors in all areas of the entertainment industry. 

Michael is and/or has previously been a member of the Broadway League, the League of American Symphony Orchestras, Opera America, the Point Foundation, and a board member of the Ojai Playwrights Conference, Western Arts Alliance, the Performing Arts Exchange, and the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. He is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he received a B.A. in Theatre and studied French. Michael holds a J.D. degree from Fordham Law School and passed the New York State Bar Exam.

Kevin Pope | Director of Operations

Kevin Pope (he/him) moved from Utah to Seattle in 1984 to study on scholarship with the Pacific Northwest Ballet School in their pre‐professional division, subsequently becoming a company member of Spokane Ballet. Although he stopped dancing many years ago, his passion for the arts has not waned. After twenty years in the financial world, he is grateful to be involved with the performing arts again through his role as Director of Operations.

Kevin recently moved to New York from Chicago, where for the past nine years he was an Account Operations Manager for Williams Lea, a Desktop Publishing Services Provider to Robert W. Baird & Co, a private investment bank. Prior to this position, Kevin was Manager of Presentation & Production Services at JP Morgan Chase for seven years.

Kevin’s significant experience in Presentation Services/Desktop Publishing and Account Operations—being responsible for profitability, budgeting, managing nineteen people across three different cities (Chicago, Milwaukee & Tampa), and providing desktop publishing services seven days a week—makes him uniquely qualified in delivering the highest level of service to our clients. Kevin’s analytical side is coupled with a great eye for layout and visual display of information, which has been instrumental in his success in Professional Desktop Publishing. His current role requires meticulous attention to detail, strong proofreading skills, and the ability to deliver on deadline for our various clients.

Kevin is an accomplished athlete and, in his spare time, expresses his physicality through the pursuit of running, cycling and swimming. He has completed two Ironman Triathlons and ran several marathons (including those in Chicago, NYC, and Boston).
