Known for his work in the Twilight and Descendants franchises and for starring in Freeform’s Good Trouble, Stewart is repped by Sovereign Talent Group and TSC Entertainment.

Strickland’s perhaps best known for roles on such series as Chicago Fire, Cruel Summer and Private Practice. Also seen in films like American Gangster, The Stepford Wives and Something’s Gotta Give, she is repped by Artium Talent, Mainstay Entertainment and Meyer & Downs.

A 22-year-old L.A. native who has directed at least seven shorts, Kishi is repped by Osbrink Talent Agency.
