Nancy Campbell
Agency President
Director of Fashion and Commercial Print

Nancy Campbell’s professional life began at the legendary Wells/Rich/Greene, an advertising agency known for its creative and ground breaking campaigns. Working her way up from receptionist to creative secretary and then into production gave Nancy an insider’s view of advertisers needs…and pet peeves. After an agency re-organization, she found herself on the other side of the camera….as an actress. Once again, she got perspective, this time from the talent/model’s point of view.

After eight years, Nancy moved to yet another side of the industry — booking talent at one of Dallas’ leading agencies. It was here that Nancy found her true calling. In 1989, Nancy founded The Campbell Agency. With her broad experience and her passion for providing true customer service, she discovered and recruited top talent — both in front of the camera and behind the desks. The Campbell Agency is recognized as a leading agency nationwide in virtually all media and is at the forefront of balancing personal attention while providing clients state of the art support in all their casting needs. From local ads to international campaigns, Nancy is determined that each client be treated with respect and understanding for their individual needs.

Nancy proudly serves on the board of the Childen’s Cancer Fund and is involved in many charitable organizations in the Dallas area. Her spare time, what little there is, is balanced between chasing her two unruly dogs and one unruly husband around the house. Her other form of relaxation includes important missions to Atlantis at Paradise Island where the dolphins greet her by name.

Nancy Tasker Johnson
Talent Division
Film Agent
Voice Over Agent

Nancy has represented performers in Dallas for the better part of 30 years. In addition to working with top agencies in the market, she co-founded and operated The Bureau, an artist management firm, that provided a personal touch to performers. In 1991, she brought her extensive background and unique skill set to The Campbell Agency. She has extensive experience in marketing, contract negotiations and public relations. Her track record on guiding actors to the “Big Show” is one of the most impressive in the Southwest. Her contributions to the industry include past participation in Texas Association of Film/Tape Professionals, Women in Film/Dallas, Dallas Producer’s Association, Writer’s Guild of America and many philanthropic organizations such as Girl Scouts of America and as founder/director of the American Cancer Society Tennis Classic. She is an alumnus of UNT and TWU. Away from the office, Nancy is proud to be an Elder in her church. She also has a unique talent in being in two places at once — while her head remains in Dallas, her heart periodically wanders to her home state of New Mexico.

Peter John
Fashion and Commercial Print

Peter graduated from Texas Tech University with a BS in Animal Science & Genetics and immediately put his degree to good use — as a model. He was one of the most recognized faces in the Dallas market for the better part of 10 years. His aptitude for the business was recognized and he was hired and trained by Elite Model Management in New York and brought back to Dallas when Elite opened a branch. Peter joined Nancy Campbell in 1996. His understanding of both sides of the business makes him a unique asset as a booker. His ability to juggle phone calls is inspiring and his voice is now one of the most recognized in the world of modeling. His favorite downtime from the business is spent in his native New Mexico where “ranching” is still a verb.

Sharon Hendricks Howell
Talent Division
On Camera Commercial and Industrial Agent

Sharon began her career as a child performer. After realizing that she needed to be more talented, she received a Radio/TV/Film degree from the University of Texas at Austin and began her agency career as a business manager before working her way up the ranks as a voice over agent in Houston before becoming a full service talent agent. After a brief stint in Los Angeles, where she worked as a casting assistant on several major network shows and as an assistant agent for a top theatrical agency, she returned to Dallas and joined the Kim Dawson Agency for 5 years. In 1996, she opened her own boutique agency, Double Take Talent, and refined her business philosophy of common sense representation. In 2001, she joined forces with The Campbell Agency. When not helping actors advance their careers, Sharon is physically or mentally cruising the Caribbean — hence the nickname “Cruise Queen.”

Diana Dyer
Co-Director, Children’s Division

Diana entered the business on the casting side. Chasing down extras for “Walker Texas Ranger” and “Dangerous Curves” prepared her for the rigors of chasing down toddlers for our many print clients. Since 2004 when she signed on to The Campbell Agency, Diana has been instrumental in assisting parents and children in all aspects of the business from print to tv commercials. Her “eye” is one of the best in the business, as evidenced by the continued success of our Kid’s Headbook, the Casting Bible of the print world, that she produces every year. Diana has 4 children of her own, all of whom have been in the business. This makes her uniquely qualified to guide clients and parents in this highly competitive market. A double agent? Perhaps. But she’s our double agent…

Barbara Blanchette
Co-Director, Children’s Division

Barbara started in the film business in 1981 as a casting assistant and extras coordinator for “Dallas” and “Places in the Heart”. Her casting and coordinating resume includes “Necessary Roughness”, “Dangerous Curves”, “Dr T and the Women”, “Walker Texas Ranger”. Or as we like to call them — basically every film or tv project shot here in the last 25 years. If someone appeared on a show in our area, Barbara most likely had something to do with it. Due to her work on “Walker”, she dealt with many children through the show’s affiliations with Kick Drugs out of America, the Special Olympics and the Texas Youth Commission. She also cast commercials as well, giving her a great perspective on how to get our littlest clients ready for the cameras. In addition to her professional life, Barbara has raised two daughters and is still raising one husband.

Saúl Jimenez
New Faces/Development Director

Sau`l (pronounced saw-ool) has worked as a stylist in both Texas and California. His past client list reads like a Who’s Who in fashion — Neiman Marcus, Hermes, Horchow and JC Penney. This range helps him prepare and develop our models, both fashion and commercial, for the versatility that is expected from our clients whether they be local or international looks, catalogue or couture. Sau`l has also worked as a model booker so he understands both sides of the market. It’s a bonus here in Texas that he’s fluent in both English and Spanish.

Robin Burns
Business Manager

Robin is generally considered the most popular staffer on Fridays when talent and model checks are ready. Her background includes a degree in Social Sciences and Advertising — quite helpful when prompting clients to send us money. She is the go-to person for both sets of clients to make sure everything is processed and paid in a timely and efficient manner. When not attached to her computer, Robin has been known to hang out at local lakes, far away from keyboards and monitors.

Amy Greer
Office Coordinator

Amy’s duties extend well beyond phone answering and “recepting”. Think of a circus ringmaster and you’ll have a good idea of her range. Organizing models, talent and even agents is a challenge she excels at — your basic agency questions can generally be answered and solved by her. When not guiding and steering our clients by phone, on line or in person, Amy is involved in the Dallas music scene and a noted activist assisting homeless kitties in the Dallas area.
