YouTube OG Andrea Russett Signs With Abrams Artists Agency

YouTube vet and actress Andrea Russett has signed to talent agency Abrams Artists, which reps a slew of digital creators within its alternative programming, digital media, licensing, and branding division.

Russett, who launched her channel more than a decade ago, has amassed 2.9 million subscribers in that time thanks to comedic vlogs like I Tried Cutting My Own Hair and Opening Stuff I Ordered While High. She has subsequently branched out into various acting and hosting projects. Russett appeared in the feature film Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates, and also starred in and produced Sickhouse — a horror film that aired on Snapchat. Russett also previously hosted and produced a talk show for Fullscreen

Russett, 23, is managed by Lisa Filipelli and Alex Rocca at Select Management Group.

“Andrea represents the growth of our digital department and she is bringing a tremendous amount to audiences across multiple verticals of entertainment,” Abrams partners Robert Attermann, Brian Cho, and Adam Bold said in a statement. “We are confident that her career will expand not only in the digital space, but across the board.”

Abrams also reps BuzzFeed vet Michelle Khare, viral musician Poppy, and dance star Matt Steffanina.
