Rod Baron
- Talent Agent
- Executive
Rod Baron, founder of Baron Entertainment, has had a storybook rise
through the Hollywood ranks. As a child actor, Rod always dreamed of
making a living in "the business," but wasn't quite sure where he'd
find his niche. While majoring in Psychology, he developed a strong
sense of empathy for others and his future became clear. Though an
empathetic agent may seem oxymoronic to some, Rod saw it as a niche
waiting to be filled. With his inspiration sparked, Rod set out to
carve a career in Hollywood. He landed a job delivering packages with
Commercials Unlimited and within a year had progressed to agent.
Instead of becoming complacent, he went on to build the young adult,
kids, and motion picture/television departments. The industry took
notice and offers started to roll in. When the actors' strike hit, Rod
decided to take a chance and founded Baron Entertainment with private
funding. The goal was to create a boutique agency with selective
clientele.
