Inside move: Agent in for anger patrol

Statt reprimanded after demanding meeting

Adam Sandler isn't the only one at Endeavor who might be appearing in "Anger Management" sometime soon. Endeavor talent agent Darren Statt, who represents Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson among others, could be a candidate for a cameo in the pic.

Statt, who covers DreamWorks for Endeavor, showed up on the studio's lot a week ago Tuesday without a scheduled appointment and then became apoplectic when he was told production execs were unavailable to meet with him, according to a DreamWorks spokeswoman.

Statt is said to have begun shrieking obscenities at the assistant to DreamWorks theatrical production exec Adam Goodman, demanding a meeting with him and other execs, and was ultimately asked to leave.

Informed of the episode, company topper Steven Spielberg asked that production president Michael De Luca lodge a formal complaint with Endeavor's partners. De Luca did so, and Statt was promptly placed on a two-week suspension, which ends next week.
