Gittelson also added a few words about Longo. "Cody was a dear friend, going back many years, before he was a client. My heart breaks for his amazing wife and kids. He had taken some time away from acting to pursue his music career and spend more time with his family in Nashville, but we had kept in touch regularly and he was excited to get back into acting this year," he wrote.
He continued, "Cody was such a loyal, loving and talented person and he will be greatly missed.”
