Actors: Emile Hirsch leaves agency after flop

Emile Hirsch must have thought 'Speed Racer' was his big breakthrough. But now that nobody is interested in the movie, he's getting his name out in a different way. While most of Hollywood probably didn't know his name until now, Hirsch is making headlines by leaving his agency after 'Speed Racer' flopped at the box office this weekend.

Although he doesn't say it, it's quite clear the flop is the reason. If there was another reason, you wouldn't leave your agency after such a box office weekend. Or his timing is really really off. Shari Rosenzweig represented Hirsch for the last 7 years at UTA. He got him roles like Chris McCandless in the critically acclaimed 'Into the Wild.' It seems quite harsh to leave your agency after all these years and just one 'Speed Racer.' But Hollywood is nervous and filmmakers are moving all over.
