Rick Nicita
Rick Nicita (born Charles Richard Nicita, 15 December 1945) is an American entertainment executive, talent agent, and motion picture/TV producer.
Nicita is a former co-chairman and managing partner of Creative Artists Agency.
Before turning exclusively to production and consultation in 2017, Rick Nicita spent five decades as a professional talent agent and manager, starting May 1968 with the William Morris Agency (WMA), New York City, and later transferring to WMA's Beverly Hills offices in 1976.
At WMA, Nicita started in the mailroom and earned his full agenting position over time, a traditional rite of initiation.
In a 2003 interview, Rick Nicita detailed his early days with William Morris: "I had dropped out of Fordham Law School when I realized that very little of the study and practice of law interested me.
I spent many weeks trying to figure out what I wanted to do--- not what I "should" do, or what was easiest, or what society wanted me to do, but what I "wanted" to do.
I always loved movies so I decided that I would be in the movie business.
I called a fraternity (Psi U) brother, Robert Levy '67, who was temporarily working at William Morris, and asked him to help me get a job there.
I didn't even know what an agent "did".
I loved it the minute I started."
Rick Nicita left the William Morris Agency in 1980 to join then four year-old Creative Artists Agency, this after being hand-selected by CAA's leadership of the time, which included founders Mike Ovitz and Ron Meyer.
Nicita was later named co-chairman of CAA and then managing partner, all of this within the historical era in which CAA was considered the world's dominant talent agency.
During his time with CAA, Rick Nicita maintained a client list that included Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Rob Reiner, Bette Midler, Mick Jagger, David Lynch, Christopher Walken, Debra Winger, Tom Cruise, Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Kurt Russell, Sally Field, and others.
Rick Nicita left Creative Artists Agency in 2008 to become Morgan Creek's Co-chairman and COO.
Nicita departed Morgan Creek in 2011, later returning to talent representation via his self-created RPMedia shingle.
(RP is an acronym for "Rick and Paula").
In the 1970s, Rick Nicita married casting director Wallis Nicita.
They divorced in 1983.
In 1984 Rick Nicita and Paula Wagner were married.
Wagner was a fellow CAA talent agent who later moved to producing via Cruise/Wagner Productions, a company she formed with her then client, Tom Cruise.
For many years, Rick Nicita and Paula Wagner were cited in the international media as "Hollywood's Power Couple".
Nicita and Wagner remain married as of 2019.

Mindanao (film)
Mindanao is a 2019 Philippine drama film directed by Brillante Mendoza starring Judy Ann Santos and Allen Dizon.
Saima (Judy Ann Santos) cares for her cancer-striken daughter Aisa (Yuna Tangog) while she awaits her husband Malang (Allen Dizon) to come home who serves as a combat medic deployed in the southern Philippines.
Their struggle is juxtaposed with the folklore of Rajah Indara Patra and Rajah Sulayman, the sons of Sultan Nabi, who fights to stop a dragon devastating Lanao.
"Mindanao" was produced under Center Stage Production and was directed by Brillante Mendoza.
It was produced by Mendoza and Carlo Valenzona.
Diego Marx Dobles was responsible for the editing, Odyssey Flores for the cinematography while Teresa Barrozo provided direction for the fim's music.
Mendoza himself also was behind the film's production design.
Prior to making the film director Brillante Mendoza researched about Mindanao.
Since the film involved the Maguindanaon folklore of Rajah Indara Patra and Rajah Sulayman the film was initially known under the working title of "Maguindanao" but the title of the film was changed to "Mindanao" since the film's theme was deemed by Mendoza to be "bigger than Maguindanao".
However he conceded that the issues affecting Mindanao is complex and the film's inability to fully present these issues to an audience.
Prior to the film's Busan release a music video featuring the film's theme song "Itadyak" by Maan Chua was released.
It featured colorful dances and select scenic locations from the film.
Solar Pictures released the theatrical release poster for "Mindanao" in the Philippines on November 16, 2019.
"Mindanao" was first released outside the Philippines at the 2019 Busan International Film Festival on October 5, 2019 as part of the Icons category.
It was also exhibited at the Tokyo on October 30, 2019.
The film was also screened in film festivals in Egypt, Estonia, India, and Taiwan.
