Favourite Actor: “Leo!!”

Maisy Bextor
Agent’s Assistant
First role: “Also a wise man in the Nativity, however, I didn’t respond too well to being sat with a tea towel on my head for that long so cannot say I had rave reviews.”
Favourite Actor: “This changes all the time, but currently having a revival for Jodie Foster. She’s cooler than I will ever be.”
Best thing about your job: “I really enjoy that no day is the same, and it’s another part of the industry that I get to learn about!”
Maisy comes from a production background and decided to make the move to talent management this year. Maisy attended both the University of Exeter and Edinburgh and is excited for this new chapter!
