Hollywood can be a really brutal place and he guided me through some trying moments. He put empathy, authenticity, and humanity into every waking moment. His place in my memory is on a motorcycle on the PCH looking over at me grinning like a boy. #RIP
#chrishuvane my former manager. I even tried to have him represent me again not long ago. He was a beacon of light. So incredibly charitable, generous, thoughtful, empathetic, compassionate, and very loving. He took his own life last night. Please pray for him. 🙏🏽😔 pic.twitter.com/82eAfMJ77y
