CHRIS MONTGOMERY BENDER Hollywood Talent Agent/White House Lawyer

Chris Montgomery Bender is the head of Prodigy Talent, a Hollywood Talent Agency and a former White House lawyer. Check out this episode!

Hollywood talent agent Those three professions are enough to put anybody down at the bottom of the list of most beloved people.

And he's always dapper no matter where he is. In my weekly Podcast; “Interesting People with Bob Brill” which you can find on iTunes and via many APPs, I sat down with Rock to talk about what makes a teen-age boy suddenly decide he wants to be a wrestler.
