The move comes as Schneider and his investigative video content has gotten caught up in a viral YouTube investigation and legal dispute with the Utah-based Lego resale company Bricks & Minifigs over a missing — and allegedly stolen — Lego Star Wars collection.
In a statement, CAA calls Schneider “a pioneer in independent investigative filmmaking. He is a documentary creator and digital media personality whose fearless approach to storytelling has made him one of the most talked about creators on the internet. By combining investigative journalism, immersive participation, humor, and high stakes real world adventures, Ben has built a worldwide audience that spans millions of viewers across multiple platforms.”
His YouTube investigation into an 83-year-old man who entered into a consignment agreement for a valuable Lego Star Wars collection that went missing has led to arrests and lawsuits involving Schneider. Amid the ensuing media attention, a May 21, 2026 YouTube video entitled I Tracked Down the Thief Who Stole $200,000 of LEGO has earned Schneider around 6.5 million views to date.
That was quickly followed by a second YouTube video from Schneider, entitled I Got Arrested Investigating a LEGO Store.
The dispute is now the subject of lawsuits and counter suits involving Schneider, who also faces criminal from the American Fork Police Department for going with a hidden camera to the Bricks and Minifigs corporate offices in Dec. 2025.
CAA points to Schneider’s ability to make “complex” corporate practices and misadventures “accessible and entertaining,” via his YouTube videos.
“His most recent investigations involving the Bricks and Minifigs Lego consignment scandal have generated widespread media attention and sparked public debate. He’s garnered 28 million views and counting on the series on his Youtube channel – it is his combination of courage, authenticity, and relentless pursuit of the truth that has transformed Ben from an internet creator into a worldwide phenomenon,” the Hollywood talent agency added.
