Seamus Lyte, the UK agent to the late Carrie Fisher, has died at his home in Los Angeles of glioblastoma. He was 54.
The founder and Managing Partner of Seamus Lyte Management passed away peacefully last week with his husband of ten years, Andrew Wishart, by his side.
His death followed a three-year battle with glioblastoma, a fast-growing and highly-aggressive form of brain cancer, according to Lyte’s friend, Independent Talent Group agent Laura Hill.
Lyte’s career spanned 25 years, during which he built a unique roster of clients including Star Wars actor Fisher, British meteorologist Siân Lloyd, actor and presenter Christopher Biggins, couturier David Emanuel and TV host and radio DJ Tyler West.
Hill said: “Seamus will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched. His legacy as a talented and highly respected entertainment professional will continue to inspire and bring joy to those who remember him.”

[Editor’s note: The following story contains spoilers for “Barry.”]
You’re not alone: “Barry” stunt coordinate Wade Allen also misses the days when the HBO series was about a fucked-up hitman who wanted to be an actor. The darkness of the show’s final season has only grown alongside Bill Hader’s visual style; and Episode 4, “it takes a psycho,” required Allen, production designer Eric Schoonover, special effects supervisor Ryan Riley, and visual effects supervisor Laura Hill, to create the show’s most complex — and easily one of its most horrifying — visual gags to date. Unlike the fate of Sian Heder’s “Mega Girls” franchise, which we have to imagine the studio is locking down tight, a ton of Episode 4 spoilers below.
While Barry (Bill Hader) lurks in the shadows of Sally’s (Sarah Goldberg) apartment after escaping prison, Hank (Anthony Carrigan) disposes of his would-be crime-utopia henchmen in the cold light of day — specifically the cold light of a silo filled with sand.

Spoiler Alert: It’s a popular form of cliff-hanger among character-driven procedurals to end a season with the team divided. But Hawaii Five-0 took it to an extreme last night. After Chin’s crush Laura Hill, who worked for the Governor (Jean Smart), was killed in a car bomb, McGarrett figured out that she’d been the one sending him those envelopes with evidence from his father’s tool box. That key he could never place? It unlocked a drawer in the Governor’s office, which McGarrett broke into. Turns out McGarrett’s father had been investigating the Governor before his death.

The Forge at The Court Theatre is thrilled to present the world première of the latest play by Roy Smiles: the fast-paced farcical comedy Backstage.
Set in 1939, Backstage follows the antics of the Leibmans: a husband and wife vaudeville act that has been touring the Us with son Danny and daughter Ruth in tow for twenty years. They are aided by Maria, who serves as dresser, confidant, surrogate parent and peacemaker for the dysfunctional family.
However, Hanna and Herb's marriage is rapidly disintegrating due to Herb's serial philandering and Hanna's rampant egomania. Combined with revelations of Danny's plans to join the Canadian air Force and Ruth's "trouble" from her liaisons with most of the band, family tensions erupt in a fast-paced, furiously funny farce behind the scenes.
Director Ross Gumbley was delighted when he received an early draft of the play. "We have a great relationship with Roy [Smiles], having...
