at the upcoming Golden Globes. She is repped by CAA and Steve Warren at
Hansen Jacobson.
Best known for his action movies, the WWE superstar Cena has
recently gotten into the comedy scene with films like “Trainwreck” and
“Sisters.” He is repped by ICM.
Barinholtz had a busy year both in front of and behind the
camera; he wrote the script for the summer hit “Central Intelligence,” and
appeared in “Suicide Squad” and “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.” He is repped by
UTA, Principato Young Entertainment, and Jared Levin at Morris Yorn.
Cannon is repped by WME. Dan Freedman, SVP of business and
