testimonials

 I have been working with Eric since before NOVA even existed. He has been a solid rock of a manager, helping me to weather the storms of this turbulent industry and grow my business. When it came time to change my team, he facilitated meetings with multiple agents and helped me in securing the best choices on both coasts. I'm grateful for his valuable guidance, vision and professionalism and am proud to have him as a treasured member of my team. 

Zehra Fazal: Joined NOVA in 2018

 I’m incredibly grateful for everything Eric has done for my career. I have never met someone who works this hard for his team and who cares this much. He has helped me get representation across the board (from Voice over to Commercial to Theatrical). Last year I decided to venture out to Vancouver, Canada and because of NOVA I was able to get incredible representation in “Hollywood North”---which has been a huge game changer for me. Eric is knowledgeable, professional, career driven but most importantly: a human being before anything else. I’m beyond proud to have NOVA as part of my team and look forward to many more success stories that we will be sharing. 

Stephanie Sequeira: Joined NOVA in 2019

 NOVA Talent Group has been instrumental in launching my acting career. Their dedicated team helped me secure my first Voiceover Agency! Now I have been in a MAJOR video game and multiple commercials! I am grateful for their unwavering support. 

Paris Blu: Joined NOVA in 2020

 I am a new NOVA client and Eric has helped immeasurably with headshots, classes and sharpening up my reel. Eric puts in the time and it pays off. I’ve always been a NYC based actor, so Eric’s deep connections and experience and connections in LA are gold. Plus, he’s a super nice guy.

Eric Pirooz

Founder & CEO/Head of Theatrical Division

Eric Pirooz began his career in the Entertainment Industry with a BA in Theatre Studies from The University of Texas at Austin. After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles, signing commercially with Hugh Leon at Coast to Coast and booking his first national spot for Sprint, along with multiple student films, indie projects, and web series. In 2010, after a brief stint in New York, Eric returned to Los Angeles and transitioned into management. He gained experience through internships at Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management and Sovereign Talent Agency while working full-time in the restaurant industry. He later joined Innovative Artists, where he was promoted from the mailroom to working directly under the Senior VP and head of the VO Department within 60 days. Eric continued building his career at WOS Group Entertainment, where he advanced his skills in management and client placement, guiding talent from regional theater to recurring television roles. Building on this foundation, he launched NOVA Talent Group in January 2018. As Founder and CEO, Eric has successfully led NOVA through major industry challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 strike. Today, NOVA Talent Group continues to grow and strengthen its presence in the entertainment industry under his leadership.
