After graduating from the University of Salford with a first-class honours degree in Media and Performance and knowing, as much as she loved the world of acting, that she probably didn’t want to be an actor, Alex began working at Manchester based talent agency PHA Icon Ltd and headed up and developed the actors division there for over 9 years until taking the plunge to venture out on her own in 2018!

“I’ll be totally honest, the thought of being solely responsible for my own agency and all those actors under my name was terrifying to me at the time, but I knew in order to gain the agency I truly wanted and felt passionate about creating it was the only way! I wanted to bridge the North/South divide and prove that location was, on the whole, an irrelevant aspect in the industry. I wanted to provide opportunity to the underrepresented and lesser experienced actors who showed such huge raw talent aswell as the more established faces, so we set out to build on the trust of our industry professionals, allowing us to show them we can deliver time and time again and I think I’m safe to say it seems to be working! 😉”

Georgia graduated with a BA in Acting from ALRA North in 2017. After a few years performing, she discovered her real passion of helping other artists find their feet in this ever changing industry! That led her to talent representation, where she loves nurturing new talent.

Five years ago, she joined Alex Priestley Talent, and her dedication earned her a promotion to Associate in 2024. Outside of work, Georgia is a passionate mental health advocate and volunteers with the fantastic charity, PAPYRUS.

Casper started out as an actor before stepping behind the scenes into the world of production, working with top companies like World Productions (Line of Duty, Vigil) and Quay Street Productions (After the Flood, Fool Me Once). His journey then took him to Coronation Street, where he rediscovered his love for working with actors—leading him to take the exciting leap into talent representation.

Joining Alex Priestley Talent has been an incredible opportunity, allowing him to be part of one of the UK’s fastest-growing boutique agencies.
