Jaime Jacobs

Jaime Jacobs began working at Amerifilm Casting in 1997, where she worked on print, commercials, and helped with the extras casting for Sylvester Stallone's film Copland, fun fact she worked as an extra on the film too! She then worked as an assistant at DGRW Talent Agency for a year before working on independent films as an Extras Casting Director. Some films she worked on include On the QT with James Earl Jones and Dummy with Adrien Brody.

In 2000, she began working at Silver Massetti and Szatmary at the front desk, then moved up to assistant within the year. After Monty Silver’s retirement, Silver, Massetti & Szatmary became Leading Artists. Jaime left in 2005 to start a family and returned 10 years later. When Leading Artists closed their doors due to Covid, she worked as a manager at Unified Management for two years. Jaime’s path ultimately led her to reconnect with Donna Massetti of SMS Talent, where she is currently a Talent Agent.
