Is former President Joe Biden Hollywood’s next leading man?
The 46th president has signed with behemoth talent firm Creative Artists Agency to handle his professional life after leaving office, the agency announced. He was previously a CAA client from 2017 to 2020, between his time as vice president and his election in 2020.

“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” said Richard Lovett, CAA’s co-chairman, in the agency’s announcement. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
While it’s fun to imagine Biden as a Hollywood star — he has portrayed himself in “Parks and Recreation” — CAA will probably focus more on publishing and speaking engagements, the Times reports.

CAA added that during Biden’s first stint with the agency, his “American Promise Tour” of speaking appearances sold 85,000 tickets, and he also published the book “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship and Purpose.”
