Screenwriter Bill Wheeler has signed with Gersh for representation in all areas.
Wheeler’s next project, which he is co-writing with his brother, Tom Wheeler, has been picked up, in a highly competitive sale, by Paramount Pictures for Colin Trevorrow to direct and Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort to produce. Wheeler and his brother will also executive produce the currently untitled conspiracy thriller.
Wheeler’s other credits include Disney’s “Queen of Katwe,” which starred Lupita Nyong’o and David Oleyowo; “Ghost in the Shell” starring Scarlett Johansson; Warner Animation’s “The Lego Ninjago Movie;” “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” starring Riz Ahmed, Liev Schreiber, and Kate Hudson; and “The Hoax” starring Richard Gere. His TV credits include Netflix’s “Cursed” and Showtime’s Emmy-winning series “Ray Donovan”, on which he also served as a Consulting Producer.
Wheeler is currently scripting “Hustler’s University” for LAMF.
Along with Gersh, Wheeler is represented by Anonymous Content and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner Auerbach Hynick Jaime LeVine Sample & Klein.
Gersh recently launched its a new Voice division dedicated to voiceover talent and content development, with veteran agent Pamela Goldman at its helm. Gersh Voice is the latest step in the agency’s strategic growth plan, which it began following a 2023 equity investment from Crestview Partners. In 2024, Gersh acquired two A3 departments — forming Gersh Digital and expanding its Alternative department — and the global sports and entertainment agency You First, which established Gersh as a player in worldwide sports representation.
That momentum continued in 2025 with the elevation of Leslie Siebert to president, formalizing a leadership structure focused on collaboration, client success and continued agency growth. Earlier this year, Gersh announced that it had hired veteran agent Bonnie Bernstein, who joined the agency from CAA.
