Remember Andrew Levitas, the hunky, hairy surfer from "Psycho Beach Party"? Apparently Kevin Huvane at CAA is his "patron"

and personally got Levitas the job of directing a Johnny Depp movie. This was buried inside THR's expose of Johnny Depp:

"Though likely intended as a creative reset, Minamata appears to be something of a career humbling. When CAA was putting the film together in 2018, it wasn't considering a list of auteurs like Tim Burton. Instead, CAA insisted that the Japan-set drama be helmed by an experimental sculptor turned director with only one unreleased family drama, Lullaby, to his credit: Andrew Levitas, who, unusually for such a small player, has top industry agent Kevin Huvane on his team. When one project insider asked about finding a more seasoned director, the person was told it was Huvane's call."
