Peter Schroeder
Co-Agent | Rising Star Management

After 6 years in the corporate world, I'm re-joining Rising Star Management as an agent and Manager. I have extensive connections in the music industry. When the first selection of talent I recruited quickly began landing auditions, callbacks, and bookings, I was invited to train as a full agent—and I’ve been proud to grow with RSM ever since.

My background includes consulting, sales and marketing, visual and audio media production, and performance in the music industry. Today, I manage RSM’s North Vancouver office, where I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and managing talented individuals across music, film, and television.

I love what I do. Representing actors is not only a natural fit for my personality, it’s also a chance to connect with people, highlight their unique skills, and help turn their on-screen dreams into reality. I thrive on meeting deadlines, scouting talent, and staying organized, but my driving passion is helping actors and talent discover the commercial value of their gifts and guiding them to success in an increasingly competitive industry.

As a professional, husband, and father of two, I bring resilience, loyalty, and dedication to every role I take on. And as a co-agent, my goal is simple: to represent Vancouver’s best talent and position them for meaningful and rewarding opportunities in film and television.

We’re fortunate to live in Vancouver, a global hub for film and TV that continues to offer incredible opportunities for actors and talent at every stage of their journey.

Since 2015, I’ve worked alongside Kumi Kimura, RSM’s owner and a respected leader in the industry. Kumi began her career as an actor, transitioned to talent management, and has built an agency known for launching actors into thriving careers. Her relationships across Vancouver, Los Angeles, and abroad continue to open doors for our roster.
