Company Town

* Agencies: The William Morris Agency has made a discovery. It has signed noted archeologist Kent Weeks as a client, in what is no doubt the first signing of an Egyptologist by a Hollywood talent agency. Weeks, a professor at American University in Cairo, gained international fame last year when he led the discovery of a tomb containing the remains of sons of Ramses II. Weeks said he signed with the agency in part because he was inundated with inquires from people with projects in mind. First up is a book deal William Morris is shopping around to publishers this week. The agency also plans to represent Weeks on deals involving television shows, interactive projects, lecture tours and even feature films. At the agency, Weeks will be represented in the various specialties by Billy Goldberg, Owen Laster, John Mass, Rob Lee, Betsy Berg and Jonathan Trumper.
