Jonathan Arun

Jonathan Arun - Owner / CEO

JONATHAN ARUN is a native of Dublin, Ireland who has lived in London for over thirty five years. During this time he has built up his experience as an agent, beginning as an Associate Agent at Jessica Carney Associates. After five years, in 2004 Jonathan moved to Vivien Wilde Ltd where he was able to set up his own list.

In 2007 Jonathan decided it was time to open his own agency Jonathan Arun Ltd. As a former actor (from a very young age) and with a successful career behind him, Jonathan brings a unique perspective with his approach to both actors and casting directors. Of course, his BA(hons) in Psychology from London Guildhall University also proves handy from time to time!
