Former US President Joe Biden has signed with a Los Angeles talent agency, marking a move in shaping his career after the presidency.
This signing reconnects him with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which represented him from 2017 to 2020, reports BBC.
"President Biden is one of America's most respected and influential voices in both national and global matters," said Richard Lovett, co-chair of CAA, in a statement.

He added, "His lifelong dedication to public service embodies unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are deeply honored to partner with him once again."
The agency also has connections with former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, it said.
At 82, Biden has been relatively quiet about his future plans following his five-decade public service career. However, when leaving the White House in January, he reassured supporters, saying, "We're leaving office, we're not leaving the fight."
Only two weeks after departing office, there is no clear sign of a new book or project on the horizon.
During his previous tenure with the agency, he released his memoir, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose" in 2017, added the report.
The memoir, which detailed the loss of his eldest son, Beau, became a New York Times number one bestseller and spurred his American Promise book tour, widely viewed as a precursor to his 2020 presidential campaign.
While maintaining a relatively low profile, the former president has been seen around his Delaware home and continues to keep in touch with former aides and associates. He also recently became a great-grandfather with the birth of his granddaughter Naomi's son, the report also said.
Although CAA is typically associated with major movie stars and A-list celebrities, the agency also works with politicians and social advocacy groups.
The Obamas have partnered with CAA through their production company, Higher Ground, which has produced award-winning films and television shows, including the Oscar-winning documentary "American Factory".
