Biden, Wife Hire Hollywood Agents
WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS/AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, have hired Hollywood agents.
The Bidens and Creative Artists Agency announced Friday that CAA would represent them.
Since leaving office last month, Biden has launched a foundation and announced partnerships with the University of Delaware and the University of Pennsylvania. The former vice president and longtime U.S. senator from Delaware will continue to work on his initiative to end cancer, which took the life of his son, Beau.
Earlier this week, Biden was named Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at UPenn, where he will lead the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.

The announcement did not specify what projects CAA would work with the Bidens on, beyond saying that the agency would "amplify" their public policy initiatives.
CAA is one of the leading talent agencies in Hollywood, with clients including Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt and Will Smith. The agency also represents athletes.
