About Us

Managing Director
Christian wanted to be an emperor when he grew up.

Christian started his career in 1988 in Chicago, which was nothing like the musical, before heading to Tinseltown in 1990 to make his dreams come true.  As an alumnus of the Triad Artists mail room, delivering packages in Armani suits he could not afford, he worked with such legends as Hylda Queally and Nicole David.   He then met Lorraine Hamilton, widely known as the nicest lady in showbusiness.  Disoriented by jetlag, lorazepam and a good Bordeaux, she apparently offered him a job.   He joined her in London shortly thereafter in June 1993. He worked his way up from assistant to agent, company director, partner and in 2008 became the managing director.  He is extremely proud to carry on Lorraine's tradition. 

Senior Agent
Michael wanted to be a doo-wop singer when he grew up.

He is shown here making his first call to Hubbard Casting at the tender age of 18 months, having just discovered Charlize Theron living next door. He had to wait a few more years to become the über-agent that he is today. Along the way he attended the University of Cape Town where he obtained a degree in Psychology, then the Cape Technikon where he earned a Diploma in Architectural Studies. He even managed two very successful bookstores before emigrating to the UK to conquer the entertainment industry.

He is still trying to get through to the Hubbards.

Senior Agent, Commercial & Voice-over
Louise wanted to play piano on a cruise ship when she grew up.

Louise hails from Scotland and can still say "hold ma fur coat and ma chips while I bash him" in a convincing brogue. She has worked in many different professions, which proves anyone can do anything. Her titles include Director of Student Services at London Contemporary Dance School; Post Production Supervisor on a feature film; Manager of avant-garde interiors shop, Mint; ultimately joining Hamilton Hodell in 2003 to run the Commercials and set up the Voice-over Division. Think Joanie from Mad Men - don't know why - just think it. It will cheer you up.
 

Agent
Claire had dreams of being a gymnast....ahem

Previously a Producer, Claire joined the agency in January 2007. Don’t be fooled by her gracious demeanour and ruthless efficiency.  Claire is a former wild child hiding behind the guise of doting mother. Well alright, the kid’s real.  And rather adorable it must be said.

Agent
Christopher wanted to be a mineralogist or a zoologist when he grew up... any old ologist would have done.

The dapperest of young men about town, before developing his magnificent client list, Christopher worked for a theatre producer. Christopher has been likened to All About Eve (..once or twice...ahem) - so fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night.

Accountant & Office Manager
Renoo wanted to be a tiger tracker in the Himalayan foothills when she grew up.

She ran a little cake shop for a few years, but then decided to go back to studying.

Renoo has been with us since Jan 2002.  Impeccably polite yet somehow menacing, we all do exactly what she tells us to do. And so should you.

General Assistant (part-time)
Matt wanted to test rollercoasters when he grew up.

Fresh from the catwalks of Paris and Milan, Matthew “Fierce” Fishel joined HH in 2008. Matt is a musician, songwriter & producer and when he's not in the office you can find him twiddling knobs, tinkling keys & strumming strings. (Check out the brand new video for Matt's 2nd single 'The First Time', released on Young Lust Records on 7th November 2011. And you can watch the video for his debut single 'Football Song' here. Full album coming early 2012.) But most impressively, Matt is a retired extra! At time of posting, his IMDB star ranking was 2,010,952.

Assistant to Michael Symons
When Madeleine was little she wanted to be... a ballerina, the 6th Spice Girl, a wizard or generally anything that involved being in the limelight.

Having studied at Canterbury University and deciding none of the above aspirations were viable career choices, Madeleine moved to the Big Smoke to exploit her ability to "smize":  smile with her eyes. Between yoga sessions, pasta-making and keeping Phillip Green's shareholders happy, she entered the hallowed halls of Hamilton Hodell in the winter of 2007.  Not just one of the best agent's assistants in town, she is also an artist's muse, as witnessed in the acclaimed video  'Alone With Maddie'.

Assistant to Louise Donald
India wanted to be a dancing silhouette in a James Bond Movie when she grew up.

India grew up in the sleepy town of Eastbourne, and whilst sleeping she dreamt that she would one day walk the halls of Hamilton Hodell and bask in the glory of its talent.  Aside from being generally fantastic at almost everything, India sings as a chorister and loves touring the country for the finest banoffee pie. She also has yellow eyes, so don't look in them, lest you fall under her spell.

General Assistant
When Jessica grew up she wanted to be in Fame (because who doesn't want to live forever?)
                         
Not having achieved immortality through the medium of Musical Theatre, Webbo changed direction, and enjoyed a brief stint in casting before joining Hamilton Hodell in 2010. Now when she grows up, she intends to be known as an "accomplished lady" like the heroines in classic literature.

Assistant to Christian Hodell
Alex wanted to be a sniper when he grew up

Alexander Leon Gandalf Cooke is a welcome addition to HH where he has the herculean task of making Christian look good. This Leeds native made his mark in showbiz at the tender age of 3, playing a young king at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. He has never lost that regal bearing.  As a teenager, he went on to star in CASUALTY (exhibit A for the prosecution - at 6:00) and HEARTBEAT. He took early retirement at 16 and now focuses on the other side of the camera.

Top Dog
Alfie wanted to be an Ewok when he grew up.

Alfie is a Griffon Petit Brabancon. Big name for a small dog with a big heart and a small brain. He is a ratter - a much needed trait in this industry. He is very stubborn and thinks he is huge. He is quite prepared to take on a lion or even Rupert Murdoch.
