This afternoon I received very sad news. David Steinberg, the actor best known for playing the role of Meegosh in the movie Willow passed away on Monday afternoon. He was recognized by many when we walked the streets of West Hollywood, being recognized was never something he took for granted. I first met David two days after he moved from New York to LA to pursue his dream of acting, when he interviewed with me looking for representation. At that time I did not sign him officially, but I was riveted by his performance and I immediately sent his headshot and resume to the TV show Charmed. They as well were impressed with him, and booked him for an upcoming episode, it was then that I officially started representing him. The producers of the show had nothing but good things to say about him, his impeccable timing, sense of humor and his keen acting sense. Our working relationship eventually became a fulfilling friendship. I will forever remember his ability to make the people around him forget their problems and laugh. These are the things that I choose to remember about him. I am sure that I am not alone in my grief and in missing him. The loss I feel I am sure will be felt by many.
Wherever we went together, people always recognized David Steinberg as Meegosh in the movie Willow. I received sad news this afternoon that my dear friend David Steinberg passed away yesterday. His life was full of sad moments, but he would always put a smile on his face and entertain everyone. I met David a few days after he moved to Los Angeles from NYC to pursue his dream of acting. I was his first interview here in LA, where he represented himself, us an unsigned actor. After he left I submitted his headshot and resume for the TV show Charmed and he was immediately booked. The casting director and producers were raving about his amazing sense of humor and superb acting. After booking him on the TV show Charmed, I officially began representing him as his talent manager. Our business relationship lead to an amazing friendship, full of funny moments and events. I will miss him, and the loss I feel I am sure will be felt by many.
