*Tyrese Gibson has made a big change in his professional representation.
The actor-singer has signed with talent agency APA in all areas, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard. The company bills itself as “one of the largest diversified talent agencies in Los Angeles” with headquarters in Beverly Hills, New York, Nashville, Atlanta and London.
Gibson will return as Roman Pearce in the upcoming ninth installment of the blockbuster “Fast & Furious” franchise. He was also part of the first three films in the “Transformers” franchise.
Things appeared to have calmed down for Tyrese following months of headline-making activity surrounding custody of his daughter and the emotional toll that played out on social media.
His sixth and latest album, 2015’s “Black Rose,” was released independently on his label Voltron Recordz and became his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Its single “Shame” received Grammy nominations for both traditional R&B performance and R&B song. The seven-minute music video for “Shame,” which stars Gibson and featured vocalist Jennifer Hudson and was directed by Paul Hunter and produced by Gibson and Denzel Washington, won the 2016 Image Award for outstanding music video as well as Best of Fest at the 2016 L.A. Shorts Fest.
Gibson’s other projects include penning two New York Times best-sellers, 2012’s How to Get Out of Your Own Way and 2014’s Manology: Secrets of Your Man’s Mind Revealed (co-authored with Rev Run), and founding The Love Circle Foundation, which seeks to mentor and provide opportunities for young men and women of color, in 2015.
Gibson made his acting debut in 2001 when John Singleton handpicked him to star in his drama “Baby Boy.” He later reunited with the filmmaker for 2005’s “Four Brothers,” and his other feature credits include “Annapolis,” “Death Race” and “Black Nativity.” Gibson also recurred as Pastor Harris on the first season of Fox’s “Star.”
Gibson continues to be repped by Joanne Horowitz Management and Sloane Offer.
