The Team

Nick Massari is a California native who is recently excited to call himself a Brooklyn resident. At the ripe age of fourteen (and unbeknownst to his parents), he began to audition for Los Angeles agencies to represent him theatrically. After securing representation, he started making the commute to Los Angeles for auditions a few times a week and prides himself on committing to the entertainment industry entirely before graduating high school.

He graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in English Literature, although he admits to taking a higher quantity of film classes. He has had the opportunity to work with Laura Rosenthal Casting, Process Media, and most recently, Big Beach Films. Through his various roles at these companies, he gained a deeper understanding of the multifaceted and numerous infrastructures that keep the industry afloat on a daily basis.

He is excited to join the JHA team, and energetically contribute his strong work ethic toward advancing shared clients’ careers.

Barrie Meisner, as Associate Manager at JHA, and Josselyne's right hand, grew up in Manalapan, New Jersey with her parents and older sister. Barrie’s father introduced her to musicals at a very early age, thus beginning her love, appreciation, and passion for the entertainment industry. She graduated from Pace University in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Film Studies, and a minor in Sociology. Through her college studies, she was able to combine her passion for the entertainment industry with the study of people, culture, and society. During her time in college, she was able to work with several different production companies, allowing her to gain knowledge about different facets of the entertainment industry.

After graduating, Barrie worked with House Casting and The Mine Talent Agency. Working in a casting office and at a talent agency simultaneously allowed her to see both sides of the business in an incredibly unique way, and gave her invaluable insight into the business. From there, she began working at Bloc Talent Agency as a Talent Agent Assistant. Through her time at Bloc, Barrie was able to gain a concrete understanding of talent representation and all that goes into helping further one’s career.

Barrie is ecstatic to begin working with the team at JHA, and continue working passionately and ardently in the field of talent representation!
