THR's Power Business Managers 2012

Most business managers rely on agents and lawyers to feed them clients, but Scott Feinstein has cultivated his expanding network through word-of-mouth among Hollywood’s up-and-comers (including Twilight’s Taylor Lautner). This year, two of Feinstein’s clients, Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) and Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), won Emmys, while a third, Mayim Bialik, was nominated for The Big Bang Theory.

Feinstein says he loves sending e-mails to those whose finances he manages to nag them if they are spending too much. He calls it a “cover-your-ass letter.”
