BTA
B T A believes in the power of unique storytelling, and the actor that has the ability to tell their own.
Founded in the Fall of 2018, Bankston Talent Agency has made it a mission to represent a select group of artists whose talent speaks for itself. Being a smaller boutique agency, we are able to give attention and resources to our individual actors while maintaining the artistic integrity of the company.
We are a SAG-AFTRA franchised talent agency located in Texas, New Mexico and California, representing both union and non-union actors for film, television, commercials, commercial print, and industrials.

Rachel Lake
Agent
Rachel spent most of her professional career as a VP of Marketing. However, her life took an interesting pivot in 2008 when her daughter, Avi Lake, decided that she wanted to pursue acting at the age of four. From the audition process to booking, she was able to observe and learn the industry from the ground up as her daughter developed into a successful working child actor. With all of the wisdom she gained through her years navigating the industry, she looks forward to helping guide the next generation of Bankston Talent stars on their journey.
