MBA (Mahoney Bannon Associates) MBA's client base consists of actors from across the UK who work in TV, Film, Theatre, Musical Theatre and Radio. In addition we have clients based in New York, LA, Europe & Australia. We do not deal in extra or walk-on work. MBA (formerly John Mahoney Management) was founded back in the 1960's by the late John Mahoney. Derek (Bo) Keller joined the Agency in 1985 followed by Fred Bannon, who passed away suddenly in February 2000. That same year, Bo invited Andrea Todd, an established professional in the industry, to bring her skills and experience to an agency that continues to maintain a professional and well respected reputation within the entertainment industry. For almost 50 years MBA has remained at the forefront of a profession that has changed at an incredible speed, and continually strives to create new employment possibilities for our family of actors. Our profession is now global, and with the advent of the internet and email, it no longer matters where an agent or indeed an actor is based, just as long as he or she can get to the audition venue. Our job is to open doors; all the actor has to do is to step through them. We pride ourselves on having a long established and highly valued working relationship with the top casting directors in the country. Casting breakdowns are sent out by them as a courtesy, not a right and this is a privilege we have worked hard to achieve. Our reputation has been sustained over many years, by delivering reliable artists, whose skills most closely fit the requirements of casting briefs that we are sent, together with the professional conduct of our clients and regular communication with both artists and casting directors alike. Our agency is founded on a policy of quality, not quantity, and endeavours to maintain the highest professional standards at all times. We never suggest more than one client for a specific role and do not take on clients who we feel may clash with another artist on our books. We believe in loyalty; from us to our clients (some of whom have been with us for over 40 years), and equally from the clients to us. Under The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003, we are required to issue a contract to each client, which we are more than happy to do ~ furthermore our contract is entirely Equity approved. This industry is all about making good impressions and useful contacts. Each client is expected to do his or her part. We treat show business as a business, and it is important for our clients to do the same. We require all clients to be entered in The Spotlight, and further encourage their inclusion on our own agency website, as this too increases their chances of being seen for work. Everyone in the offices of MBA come from a performance background themselves and therefore appreciate the hardships of this profession. We like to keep the agency as much like a family as possible ~ always remembering that your good fortune is our good fortune too! Here is just a small selection of productions, companies and media that MBA are proud to have been associated with:
