Sandy Hunter - Co-Founder and Agent
Sandy Hunter is one of the two original founding partners and agents with First Class Talent Agency. She grew up with a single television in the house that received 3 channels only, so she never bothered to watch television until she was in her late 20’s when she moved to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles opened up a new world of opportunity. Sandy’s children became involved in the entertainment industry, and Sandy went from never watching television to constant interaction with the film and television industry. Her kids were busy and successful young actors with combined over 50 principal roles on television, film, and commercials. Sandy’s oldest daughter had a recurring role on daytime television.
In 1989, Sandy opened her own successful flower shop business, providing flower arrangements for many families and celebrities in the Beverly Hills and Bel Air area.
In early 2000 Sandy closed her shop and began selling real estate, but she always had a special place in her heart for the entertainment business. Nine years later she and her dearest friend Cynthia Barry decided to become agents and open a talent agency. Sandy worked side by side with Cynthia developing First Class Talent Agency. Sandy's current focus is new talent recruitment and submissions both commercially and theatrically.
Cynthia Barry – Co-Founder and Agent
Cynthia Barry is one of the two founding partners of First Class Talent Agency, where she continues to serve as a dedicated agent. A California native, Cynthia knew from an early age that she was meant to be an entrepreneur. Her creative journey has always been rooted in the arts—singer, painter, photographer, and fashion designer.
In 2010, she and her longtime friend Sandy co-founded First Class Talent Agency. Their shared vision was to create a boutique agency offering personalized attention and career development for each actor—a goal they proudly continue to achieve. Today, Cynthia oversees the day-to-day operations at FCTA and co-manages both commercial and theatrical submissions.
