After a career as a music director and conductor, Anthony transitioned to the representation world in 2007, working his way up through the ranks until November 2013, when he started the west coast theatrical division of DDO Artists Agency. In that capacity, Anthony works with a tightly-woven team of theatrical agents in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles to create opportunities for their clients in television, film, and theatre. Among his clients are Tony Award winners and nominees, heads of large touring companies, series regulars on network television, and high-profile film actors. He is proud of helping to instill a culture at DDO that is constantly pushing to amplify underheard voices, and to teach actors to self-advocate and to tell their unique stories.
