Stallone goes Grey
The actor hasn't had a manager in many years, though he seems to be in need of some solid career direction.
Since Stallone's heyday at CAA, where his then-agent Ron Meyer pacted three films at Universal for $20 million a film, Stallone has changed agents three times and has made none of those high-priced films. He's back at CAA, where he's represented by Fred Specktor.
The actor has been trying to move beyond the tough-guy roles that gross well in the foreign market but have faded domestically. He began that effort by working for scale as the hearing-impaired sheriff in Miramax's "Cop Land," for which he got some of his best critical notices since his "Rocky" days.
But he has not yet translated that into a next role. He is developing another "Rambo" installment at Miramax, where he also plans to produce a Formula One race car pic.
At B-G, Grey will be his manager, along with Gerry Harrington, Michael Siegel and Marc Gurvitz. Stallone joins a BGE talent stable that includes Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage and Garry Shandling.
