The Hollywood Reporter's 2020 Business Manager Icon recipient talks about following in his father's footsteps and avoiding 'pilots and premieres.'

“Don’t be afraid to say no to a client at the risk of them being upset with you. No one is being paid to be a yes man, or yes woman in this business,” says Steve Savitsky, photographed Sept. 24 in Los Angeles.

"He is so protective of his clients," says CAA agent Brett Loncar, who has known Savitsky since high school and has worked closely with him on shared clients for more than a decade."I don’t know, outside of my world, who he represents. Steve has never shared who he works with. It speaks to the kind of person he is. Discretion is everything."

"I had never been to my dad’s office," Savitsky recalls."I never worked for him, never interned with him. I always wanted to chart my own territory and do my own thing." Savitsky’s core practice these days is centered around showrunners, a specialty he can trace back to working with a couple of writers on a little show calledwhen he first started."It became a phenomenon," he says."It created a little bit of expertise for me in the literary world and opened the door for me to lawyers, agents, managers and even other potential clients through referrals.

Notes talent manager John Carrabino:"Steve is the consummate professional who just happens to have wonderful bedside manner, both as a business manager and as a human being. Steve checks every box."
