ABOUT YCAA

We represent actors and the stories they want to tell.

YCAA represents talent across film, television, commercials, theatre, and voice. We also represent the writers and creators behind the stories that bring those performances to life.

Our work lives on both sides of the camera. Our philosophy stays the same.

We are not a volume agency. We never will be. Because real representation (the kind that
actually moves careers) requires something most agencies stopped offering the moment their roster hit a certain number: attention.

01

Taste

Most agencies are growing fast. Too fast. The result is automated submissions. You’re being submitted. But are you booking? At YCAA every submission is a deliberate decision. We know the project, the vision, and whether you genuinely belong in that room. That judgment doesn’t come from a database, it comes from relationships.

02

Strategy

Talent alone doesn’t build a career. Neither does a great script in the wrong hands. What moves things forward is intentional thinking, about positioning, timing, relationships, and the gap between where you are and where you’re capable of going. That’s the work we do every day.

03

Conviction

We only represent people we genuinely believe in. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the reason we keep our roster the size it is. Because conviction without attention is just a word. And we intend to back it up…for every actor, every writer, and every project we put our name behind.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Jason Norris

President & Principal Agent

UCLA alum & Voting member of the Canadian Academy. Jason represents principal actors across film, television, commercials, theatre, and voice. Built the agency around one belief: that serious actors deserve representation that thinks as hard as they work. Specializes in personal branding and career strategy for Canadian performers with real credits, real momentum, and the ambition to match.

Megan Bishop

Talent Agent

Megan represents actors across film, television, commercials, theatre, and voice. With nearly a decade in talent representation, she has developed a sharp eye for recognizing the right actor for the right role before anyone else does. She knows the industry, she knows the talent, and she knows the difference between a good submission and a great one.

Alex Fortaleza

Literary Agent

Alex has worked across production, music licensing, writer management, and creative development with professionals in Canada, the United States, and Europe. That breadth (and those relationships) are what he brings to the literary  department. He knows how projects actually move, what gets in the way, and how to close the gap between a strong idea and a real opportunity.
