Biography

Howard Pays, a renowned English actor, opted to abandon his acting career to represent thespians and other professionals in television and motion pictures, ultimately becoming one of England's most successful talent agents.

Following his military service, where he fulfilled his National Service commitment, Pays pursued a career in acting. He made his television debut in the popular series Sixpenny Corner in 1955, where he crossed paths with and eventually married his co-star, Jan Miller.

In the early 1960s, Pays decided to step away from acting and opened the talent agency "CCA" in London. Alongside his partner, Freddie Vale, he transformed the agency into one of the most prominent in the U.K. and the English-speaking world.

Throughout his illustrious career, Pays remained a top agent until his untimely passing from cancer in April 2002, at the age of 74.
