Michael Green is an American talent manager, entrepreneur and movie producer.

Career

Green began his career as a personal appearance agent in the early 1990s at Irvin Arthur Associates representing stand up comedians. He then moved to talent management at Gallin-Morey Associates, where he eventually became a Senior Manager.[1]

In 1997, he co-founded The Firm, a music and talent management agency, with Jeff Kwatinetz.[2] The company grew rapidly, eventually managing Backstreet Boys, Korn,[3] Limp Bizkit, Pamela Anderson and others. Expanding beyond the representation business, The Firm also acquired and sold the shoe brand Pony, and controlled an equity position in Build-A-Bear Workshops.[4] In 2002, Green sold his interests in the company to spend time with his family.[1]

In 2005, he founded a new management company, The Collective.[5] The Collective continued to represent Green’s longtime clients like Martin Lawrence, and also signed Linkin Park, Counting Crows, Enrique Iglesias, Slash, Alanis Morissette, and Emile Hirsch, among others.[6] As CEO, Green expanded The Collective outside simple talent management, acquiring the horror movie site Bloody-Disgusting.com and popular YouTube accounts and personalities like Fred and Annoying Orange under Collective Digital Studio.[7]
