In the golden days of Hollywood filmmaking, it was the studios that had great power and control over the actors. The studios would discover and groom their own actors. Talent agents came into existence because actors had many financial and legal disputes with the big studios and needed someone to represent them. Today, even though the major studios are still a dominant force in the industry, talent agents are just as powerful if not more powerful than the studios because the studios must go through the talent agents in order to hire the actors.
