Comment: Unfortunately, most sources cited hardly indicate any notability, which is especially true for the sources cited in the lead section. Also, I would suggest checking the citations as there are obvious referencing errors, and various references to totally unsuitable sources.

- Comment: The references need to provide extensive coverage specifically about Nick Ferrari via independent, reliable sources. I was hopeful when I saw the LA Weekly headline but the article was "written in partnership with De Castellane Creative." (I did a quick search but couldn't find anything that would establish his notability.) JSFarman (talk) 06:06, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Rick Ferrari is an agency founder and Broadway producer.[1]
Ferrari began his career in New York City at Zoli Models in 1981, continuing to work as a model agent through the mid-90s. He later worked as a talent manager with Sandy Gallin at Gallin Morey Associates where he managed Dolly Parton.[2], and at Photogenics in 2008 representing Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Walker for branding endorsements. [3]
At talent agency Don Buchwald & Associates, Ferrari headed the West Coast commercial/branding division for the company [4] as it hit its four decade mark in the industry and rebranded to Buchwald for the milestone.[5]
Ferrari's work in branding endorsements gave way to the growth of the on-camera roster, ultimately leading to him opening his own firm, Ferrari Talent[6] where he represents such actors as Cameron Cowperthwaite[7] and Margo Parker.[8]
Ferrari has participated in workshops and podcasts[9][10], including being a guest speaker at The Actor's Lab where he joined Michael Patrick King, Mimi Leder, and Jim Belushi in ongoing Actor's Lab coursework.[11]
For the January 2000 issue of Genre (magazine), Ferrari was photographed by Herb Ritts with David Geffen who was featured in a cover story celebrating 100 men of the new millennium[12] and who Ferrari credits as a lifelong friend and mentor.[13]
In 2017, Ferrari appeared as himself in the documentary The Fabulous Allan Carr.[14] Also in 2017, Ferarri was included in the book, Inside Studio 54, in which Mark Fleischman noted that Ferrari frequented Studio 54 as a companion to Bill Aucoin, manager of KISS, and was strong enough to survive the hard-partying days of the Studio 54 era, creating a successful Hollywood career as both manager and agent.[15]
During the industry-wide writers and actors strike of 2023, Ferrari Talent focused on the commercial market where production did not stop.[16]
