Christopher D. Silveri
Christopher D. Silveri is the President and owner of Center Stage Management (CSM), a personal talent management company he founded in 2017. Through CSM, he represents actors across all genres and mediums, including film, television, theater, commercial, and voiceover work. He has spent more than twenty years working in the entertainment industry, building his clients' careers around their personal goals.
Christopher graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in three years and began his professional career during his final year as an intern with Liz Lewis Casting Partners. Hired before graduation, he quickly developed a deep love for actors and their craft. As a former performer, he understood the stress and anxiety of auditions and how much of the business side could feel shrouded in mystery. He wanted to make that side of the industry less mysterious, using the honesty and openness that would come to define his personal style in representation.
He moved into representation as head of the Legit Department for theatre, television and film at Gilla Roos, Ltd. It was from this side of the table that he realized helping people build careers called for more than simply being an audition-getter. He wanted to look at every part of an actor's career and find ways to move the dial forward. That approach led him to become Vice President of Talent Management at Prestige Management Group. A smaller, focused and diverse roster allowed for more personal attention and helped build his reputation as someone who never treated a client's goals as implausible. After nearly ten years, he founded Center Stage Management in 2017 to carry that philosophy forward: Talent First. Always.
Across his career in representation, his clients' television credits include: American Horror Story, Billions, Blue Bloods, Bull, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., City on a Hill, City on Fire, Escape at Dannemora, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, For Life, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Girls5Eva, Godfather of Harlem, Gossip Girl (Reboot), Harlem, Inventing Anna, Law & Order, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Law & Order: SVU, Manifest, Mare of Easttown, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, New Amsterdam, Orange Is the New Black, Ozark, Power, Ray Donovan, Search Party, Succession, That Damn Michael Che, The Blacklist, The Changeling, The Endgame, The Flight Attendant, The Good Fight, The Good Wife, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Morning Show, The Other Two, The Undoing, Ways & Means, WeCrashed, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and Younger, among others.
Film credits include: A Quiet Place III, Big Time Adolescence, Happiest Season, Judas and the Black Messiah, Office Romance, The First Purge, The Home, The Kill Room, The King of Staten Island, The Post, The Report, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and The Wolf of Wall Street, among others.
