Did your contract say anything about that? If I start a consulting company and want it to grow, then sooner or later I have to play the same game as the big players: Principals come and close the deal, Juniors do the actual work, billing reflects this. What I'm curious about for the agent model is someone who actually proposes to do the work, and does it. In that case, popularity raises the rate instead of dividing the time. Having Brad Pitt act in your movie costs more. If you really are an independent "IC" and are a "star" then you will have offers you want to turn down, right? And dealing with that will be a drag too, right? Hollywood Stars still use agents last I checked.
