Authentik Management is an esteemed actor's agency with a strong focus on discovering and developing new talent. It is extremely rewarding to guide actors at the start of their creative careers. The agency also proudly represents many established artistes and is honoured to play an essential role as they climb to new heights and break through previous barriers.
Established in 2017, the agency has its roots in South Africa's creative capital, Cape Town. Authentik also represents artistes in Johannesburg and Durban and has developed strong connections in the UK and USA. This opens many opportunities to our artistes within a booming industry.
The combined experience of George Heathcote and Nic Leonidas is a powerful partnership. George started his impressive career as a UK agent in 1982 - enough said. Nic has years of experience in various areas within the local film-, theatre- and television industry. Their shared passion for this exciting industry is the foundation on which the company was built.
As Authentik continues to grow and thrive, the team has expanded to include Landi Lombard and Shanay Schwartz. With a BA (Drama) and years of experience both on set and in studio, Landi has established herself as a multi-skilled creative who effortlessly runs the Johannesburg branch on a day-to-day basis. Shanay also has a diverse background: she has dabbled in photography, worked in Advertising and explored various roles in Production. She approaches every task with passion and enthusiasm and established herself as a key member of the family.
Authentik aims to place their artistes at the core of every decision, nurturing their creativity and developing their skills. Each artiste's success is our success.
