Ruth Leighton-the heart and beautiful soul of Leighton Agency! Professional, Passionate, Reliable, and an Industry Leader in Arizona. Be prepared to rock and roll and keep your ears open and your mind sharp because occasionally she talks really fast! Hahaha! But I LOVE it! But, I'm also one of those people that listens to audiobooks and YT videos at morph speed! She is constantly working hard for her clients and talent, and it is noticeable and appreciated. I have been with Leighton for more than a dozen years! Probably a bakers dozen! I would highly recommend this agency to clients and hard working professional talent. My advice for Talent: Be prepared to invest in great headshots, acting classes-to be at the top of your game, and make sure you hold yourself to the highest standard. Advice for Potential Clients: Give Leighton Agency the chance to prove they are the best in Arizona and you will be so relieved that you did! read more

I can't emphasize enough, how Absolutely Amazing Ruth is on every levell!! (: I've been signed with Ruth since 2000 and I can attest, she's one of the hardest working agents in AZ!! She has always been there to help build my career in the best possible manner, as an actor, print model and voice-over talent. In addition, Ruth has always cared on a personal level too-she's equivalent to my second mom and family!! (: Professionally, Ruth is fully trust worthy, always has your best interest at heart and will put her heart and soul, into diligently working around the clock, so you always get the very best jobs possible!! (: Finally, Ruth puts that extra personal touch in everything she does, for not only repeat clients year after year, but some of the very best in the valley and the nation-Thank you so very much Ruth, for all you do!!

There is a reason she is the best in town. Many agents have come and gone in 35 years, but only one has stayed at the top for that long. She is one of the top agents in the Southwest United States. She drives a hard bargain, but I respect her for standing up on her talent's behalf when it comes to rates, and you really do get what you pay for. As a client who has booked many talent direct, she has saved me numerous times on shoots (and saved me plenty of $$$ by not having to pay for a casting director). I swear she never sleeps. Her talent carry her integrity, punctuality, and professionalism that is hard to find outside of LA. Thank you Ruth for all you have done, and keep up the good work! read more

As a professional film producer and director working in Phoenix for the past 6 years, the Leighton Agency has consistently been my first stop when looking for talented actors to cast. I was actually so impressed with Ruth's talent pool and professionalism that three years ago I asked her to be my agent as an actor. She has booked me some great jobs and she's the reason I'm a SAG eligible today even though I've only worked in a smaller market. Ruth is such a good and efficient communicator. She's the consummate professional while still being so darned nice! And she treats you like family whether you're an actor or a casting director. I can't recommend the Leighton Agency highly enough. read more

Leighton Agency is legitimate and professional, yet Ruth Leighton personally knows each of her talent members. She and the staff work tirelessly to secure their talent quality auditions and ensures top rates. In addition, Leighton interacts with each client and talent with respect and honesty. Leighton does not take "anyone" but vets each potential talent and chooses only top-notch. In addition, Leighton Agency can recommend the best coaches, photographers, and other talent resources in Arizona. I've been signed with Leighton as a voice-over and on-camera talent for more than 15 years and have worked on everything from local to national jobs. Leighton Agency is the best in Arizona. read more

My son is an actor. As a mom, much of what I do with my children is based on gut feeling. I trust that Ruth and her team have my son's best interest in mind. We have been with two agencies in the Valley, and I feel a difference; we are treated with genuine care, almost like family. From a business perspective, the Leighton Agency is spot on. They are respected, and my son receives a different level of attention from casting agents as a result. I have a second son who wants to explore the business, and I trust the Leighton Agency to be good to him when the time is right. The Leighton Agency is where I want to be and plan to be for a long time. read more

I lived in New York for 14 years and coming to Arizona, it was a relief to find that there is a professional agency, with the values I came to expect back on the East Coast (like no upfront fees/charges). Ruth's integrity is unimpeachable, and I respect that wholeheartedly. Also, I started a theatre company in the Valley a few years back, so now that I'm in casting, I can confirm that Leighton has the best ACTORS compared to other agencies. If you're looking for talent, call Ruth; if you're looking to be represented, her standards are high, but definitely see if you can pass the bar! read more
