To a generation of Disney fans, however, he’ll always be the beloved Ron Stoppable, sidekick to the brave Kim Possible. Will was also Lion-O in the rebooted ThunderCats animated series, Doyle in The Secret Saturdays; and Bumblebee inTransformers: Prime, Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising and Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

She was the voice of Yuffie Kisaragi in the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children franchise, and has continued success as a voice actor in shows like Family Guy and The Penguins of Madagascar.

Romano went on to pen a young adult novel, Grace’s Turn, with Hyperion, that was awarded The New York Public Library’s Teenage Book of the Year; she also voiced/produced its audiobook.

She’s directed several short films, one of which was selected for the LA Short Film Festival, as well as co-produced a new Sci-fi dramatic feature Prism with Christian Madsen (Divergent). She can be seen in Deadly Day Care for the LMN network and the indie comedy Bear with Us, as well as Wes Craven’s The Girl in the Photographs.

Jacqueline Toboni

Clients

Jacqueline Toboni was born and raised in San Francisco. After being cut from her high school basketball team, her mom encouraged her to audition for the prestigious American Conservatory Theater and once accepted she was hooked. She became a theater major at the University of Michigan and spent her summers as an apprentice at the renowned Williamstown Theatre Festival, as well as The Movement Theatre in New York and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.

Toboni met Grimm co-creator Jim Kouf when he came to the university to speak. He had been trying to cast the role of “Trubel” for some time and could not find the right actress. As an acting exercise he had the students read the character sides and soon Toboni found herself testing for NBC execs. She booked the role of “Trubel” before even graduating from college. Two years later the complicated, prickly character has become a fan favorite of the show.

Since moving to Los Angeles, Toboni has starred in the indie films The Last Room and Liked, produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted). On the television side, she continues her role on Grimm and has guest starred in TNT’s Major Crimes, as well as having a starring role in Easy, indie auteur Joe Swanberg’s anthology for Netflix alongside Dave Franco and Malin Akerman currently airing.

B.J. Britt

Clients

bjbritt.siteAs an actor, B.J. Britt has fought supervillains and tangled with vampires, but it’s his decidedly ordinary unorthodox upbringing as a funeral director’s son that’s helped keep him grounded while capturing attention in hits including Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Being Mary Jane.

A self-confessed “class clown” as a child, Britt grew up with three sisters and a brother in a tight-knit family in Wilson, N.C. After graduating from East Carolina University, where he studied theater, he signed with Elite Model Management in Atlanta. Three years later, Britt moved to Los Angeles at the urging of his manager. Roles in a range of series soon followed, including the cult hit Veronica Mars; comedy series One on One and Everybody Hates Chris; and the long-running drama One Tree Hill.

In 2013, Britt signed onto the recurring role of Paul Patterson Jr., younger brother to the lead character of the hit BET series Being Mary Jane. In 2014, he added to his plate by taking on the role of Antoine Triplett on ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Britt turned what had been scheduled to be a half-season guest-starring role into a recurring character who spanned two seasons, and whose departure had repercussions on the show that can still be felt.

Britt can currently be seen in the third season of Being Mary Jane. In his downtime, he works with charitable organizations – particularly those devoted to assisting the homeless – and enjoys traveling and sports.

Kristine Sutherland

Clients

As Joyce Summers, mother to the heroine in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kristine Sutherland was more familiar with doling out maternal advice than spells and curses. But the show wasn’t her first foray into the supernatural: She got her start playing Pegora the witch for the local children’s theatre company while in high school.

After attending university, Kristine traveled to London to study acting at The Drama Studio. New York City beckoned, and Kristine soon got her professional start Off-Broadway and in regional theater. Since then, she has appeared in a number of pilots for television, guest starred on many popular television shows, and appeared in countless commercials and voiceovers. Many children of the 1980s remember her as the next-door neighbor, Mae Thompson, in the hit Disney film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

In 1993, Kristine and her husband, actor John Pankow (cousin Ira, Mad About You), moved to Los Angeles. In 1997, she kicked off a seven-year run as the ever-motherly Joyce Summers on the WB’s cult hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

When her role on Buffy began to wind down, Kristine seized the opportunity to stretch her talents beyond acting and attended the photography program at Santa Monica College. She is currently working on a book documenting rural mountain life in Italy.

Kristine and her family moved back home to New York in 2004 and enjoy taking advantage of everything New York City has to offer. She continues to enjoy guest staring in the many episodic television shows that are shooting in the New York area and working as a portrait photographer. She recently co-starred in the independent film The Perfect Wedding, with James Rebhorn.
