The third season of the show just wrapped and Starz is expected to pick it up for a fourth.
Curtis got his acting career off the ground at the age of 5 when he guest-starred in HBO’s seminal Sex in the City. He became a Disney star after making his feature debut opposite Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner in Disney’s adaptation of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. He then went on to work as a series regular in numerous Disney Channel shows before making the leap from Disney star to the provocative bad boy title star in Raising Kanan.
By signing Curtis, APA keeps the talent, both up-and-coming and established, that is being built by Power and Jackson’s banner G Unit Film & TV in its ever-expanding web of representation. Clients on the company’s list with the Jackson imprimatur include Mary J. Blige, Michael Rainey Jr., Joseph Sikora, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., Russell Hornsby, Eric Kofi Abrefa, 2 Chainz, and Ne-Yo, on top of the aforementioned kingpin, Jackson.
Curtis continues to be managed by Untitled, and his attorney is Walter Mosley.
