Justin Long has left UTA.

The actor, who stars with Drew Barrymore in this summer’s New Line romantic comedy “Going the Distance,” had been a longtime client of the agency.

Long’s break came in the 1999 comedy “Galaxy Quest,” in which he played a sci-fi show-obsessed geek in a supporting role. He has worked consistently since then, amassing numerous credits, including “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “He’s Just Not That Into You” and “Drag Me to Hell.”

Long may be best known, however, as the “Mac guy,” appearing opposite John Hodgman in Apple’s super-successful ads. Along with a huge paycheck, the commercials brought Long a kind of recognition not usually associated with feature film actors, whose commercial work tends to be under the radar and overseas (see George Clooney’s watch and espresso-maker ads all over France).

Long is now taking meetings with agencies, according to several agents.

Last month, we tallied the Oscar nominations collected by each of the major agencies. That chart looked like this:

How did the major agencies do in today’s Oscar-nomination frenzy? Let’s take a gander. (They just love it when we do this.)

But first, some asterisks:

Writer-director Jared Hess has left UTA and signed with WME.

The move comes after Hess’ last movie, the indie comedy “Gentlemen Broncos,” failed at the box office when it was released in the fall by Fox Searchlight.

Hess grabbed Hollywood’s attention in 2004 with “Napoleon Dynamite.” Two years later he followed it with his first studio feature, the Jack Black Mexican wrestling comedy “Nacho Libre,” which Paramount released to $80.2 million domestic.

“Broncos” was panned by critics and mustered only $113,000 at the box office.
