Decades before the recent sale, it was clear the so-called Young Turks — Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane and Richard Lovett — would take the reins at the talent agency. But who’s being primed to take their place?
For those of a certain age who like to think that they’re still young — and who doesn’t? — it is sobering to realize that when Michael Ovitz bowed out of the agency business in 1995, neither Tom Holland nor Zendaya had even been born.
People who weren’t around in those days can’t begin to appreciate the fear that Ovitz inspired in Hollywood. He wielded the kind of power that no agent has mustered since and no agent ever will again. How the times and the town have changed. One thing has remained constant in all the years since Ovitz left the building: Three then-young men who had emerged as future leaders ofwell before Ovitz departed are still at the helm. Perhaps in spite of himself, Ovitz nailed the succession question that has led to so much drama at Disney and Paramount. But those three men — now in their 60s — have shown no discernible signs of repeating that trick.
