Clients and Testimonials


"Big Fish has been a fabulous resource for me for several years. Emily and Elisa are extremely responsive, listen carefully to what we are looking for, and they know their talent very well. Professional, reliable, flexible and fun to work with. Big Fish is my secret weapon!"

Pati Martinez, Creative Director, Hill Aevium

"Big Fish Talent is the fourth agency I’ve worked with over the past 20 years, out of New York and now Denver, and they are above and beyond the most communicative and supportive. Emily and Elisa are in constant communication, both in terms of upcoming audition opportunities but also in terms of the expectations and details every time they submit their actors. I feel so lucky and so grateful to be represented by them!"

Emily Tuckman, Actor

"Big Fish is my go-to for the best local talent. The audition process is done with such efficiency and professionalism that, as a Producer, it makes my life so much easier. When I'm looking for very specific looks or skills, Emily understands and works hard to find what I need. The talent here is experienced, they come prepared, and they follow direction very well. Big Fish makes me look good. :)"

Melanie Escobar

"I started my lifelong dream of acting in 2007. From day one, Big Fish Talent (Peter DeAnello, Elisa Piesman and Emily Rushing) has been my constant team of support. They are always honest, undeniably nurturing and encourage me to go the distance—without fail.

One of the things that I like the most about Big Fish Talent is the sense of community. The support not only comes from the agents, but there is an incredible amount of support between fellow Big Fishers. I laugh every time I am at an audition because afterwards, we are all hugging each other goodbye. This is rare among agencies. Moreover, I loved how Peter used to end all of his workshops. He would say, "Go encourage each other and appreciate each other".

I have been extremely impressed with Emily and Elisa. They are prompt in their responses to my emails and phone calls and they always seem to go above and beyond what is asked of them. Recently, I was cast as a lead in a feature film and the directors personally told me that my agents were the easiest to work with out of all the agencies in town because of their professionalism and response time.

All in all, I love my agency. I feel extremely blessed to be associated with an agency that not only believes in me, but I believe in them as well."
