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.
