The actor is exiting to sign with Creative Artists Agency, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe actor known for 2000s hits like Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down had gone through a couple of bumpy stretches but had been seeing a career upswing since moving to Verve in 2022. He booked a feature role in Christopher Nolan\u2019s Oppenheimer, a guest run in FX\u2019s The Bear, plus a starring turn in M. Night Shyamalan thriller Trap and an upcoming role in Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity. He will also be seen battling a sea monster in Netflix\u2019s miniseries Below and recently wrapped production on Oliver Stone\u2019s White Lies, starring opposite Michael Douglas and Willem Dafoe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHarnett had been repped by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/caa\/\" id=\"auto-tag_caa_1\" data-tag=\"caa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CAA<\/a> during his feature run before exiting in 2012, per reports at the time, ahead of his turn two years later as a series regular in Showtime series Penny Dreadful, which ran for three seasons. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe client exit is at least the second major one in a single week to be reported publicly, as Verve lost The Pitt star Noah Wyle, who has seen his own career resurgence since the HBO Max show became a defining hit for the platform. Wyle, however, didn\u2019t exit for another agency and is still repped by Brillstein  and law firm Jackoway Austen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tVerve, founded in 2010 by a trio of agents who left WME,\u00a0still has co-founding partners Bryan Besser and Adam Levine at the firm. But since the dual strikes in 2023 and co-founder Bill Weinstein\u2019s fiery exit a year later, the smaller Los Angeles-based firm has been navigating choppy waters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/representation\/\" id=\"auto-tag_representation_1\" data-tag=\"representation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">representation<\/a> space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn recent weeks, Verve inked clients including In Living Color co-creator Damon Wayons, Off Campus exec producer Leanna Billings, actor Scott Eastwood as well as Tom Forman, Chad Gutstein, and David Metzler\u2019s TV banner Terminal B. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHartnett continues to be repped by Entertainment 360 and Sloan, Offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In another defection at the Verve agency, Josh Hartnett is leaving the fold and jumping to the majors.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1001012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[56905,185,171,144295,7171,67,132,68,120704],"class_list":["post-1001011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-caa","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-josh-hartnett","tag-representation","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-verve"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1001011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1001012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1001011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1001011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1001011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
