Certain talent will seek certain agents for advice, but EVERYONE sought out Lanza’s. The sweetest man but incredibly tough & 100% dedicated to making us better. Jack often didn’t tell you what you wanted to hear, but ALWAYS told you what you needed. I’ll miss you dearly my friend https://t.co/rSZwcvXCOa

(2/2) “Good. I hope you’re always nervous. Because when you’re nervous, it means you care.” With mischievous eyes, a slap on the back & a hearty laugh, Jack always cared and he will be missed. I Love You.
