The Talent

We believe that, in Los Angeles, if you can make it here, you’ve probably got a few good stories to tell. 

This city has a resource that’s more precious than water in a drought: THE TALENT. 

Legends aren’t just born in L.A., they fight to make it happen. The undiscovered lurk at lunch counters and in dimly lit corners. They claw their way to the top. They rely on grit, pluck, and, most of all, talent. 

Agents chase it. Fortunes are built on it. Talent runs through this city like electricity, powering everything it touches. 

Hiro Clark is inspired by creative people that make our hometown buzz. THE TALENT is our program to show off local legends and undiscovered superstars. Actors, writers, directors, photographers and all the rest of our creatives – come along as we see the other side of L.A. through their eyes.
