Tony Etz Dies: Longtime CAA TV Agent Was 64
Tony Etz, a 30-year veteran of the Creative Artists Agency, passed away March 10 in Los Angeles, after a long battle with cancer. He was 64.
Agenting was a second career for Etz, an English major from Knox College with a MFA from University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop who was a contributor on the 1989 book Off-Hollywood Movies: A Film Lover’s Guide. He started in the made-for-television movie business, co-executive producing/executive producing two miniseries and five telefilms, including NBC’s successful Jack Reed MOWs, in the early 1990s before joining CAA in 1994 as an agent in the Television department. Not surprisingly, their son Alex, who made his TV industry debut at the TCA winter press tour at age three months, followed in his parents footsteps and, upon graduating from University of Michigan in 2024, joined CAA in the mailroom.
