Call My Agent! is a Euroish sitcom that premiered on TV3 on 6 October 1992. The series depicts talent agents at the fictional agency CSA (Carl Somers and Associates) and their relationships with their clients, who vary from actors and television and radio personalities, to politicians and popstars.
The show was highly successful with many international remakes, in which the show is presented as more of a comedy-drama than the original incarnation.
Synopsis
The series follows four agents who jointly take control of CSA after the death of its founder and head. The agents attempt to manage production and public relations crises arising from their clients' egos, financial and legal difficulties, and other complications, while also maintaining rivalries with one another for power and prestige.
Characters
- Michael D. Cassidy as Victor "Vic" Barrowman, a "cold and calculating" agent more concerned with himself than his clients or colleagues
- Sarah Cyrus as Lea Melrose, a demanding career woman who burns through assistants. She wants the agency to open a production division, joining the ever growing number of independent television production companies.
- Emily Newell as Bonnie Newton, the "youngest, clumsiest and most kind-hearted" of the agents.
- Robert McRaney as Richard "Ric" Parriss, an elderly agent from another era, regarded by his peers as a bigoted, cold presence, although is a close friend of Victor, leading the two to be known as "Vic and Ric".
- Billie Fincham as Elaine Nettles, an assistant at CSA
