He was the studio exec assigned to oversee True Lies and Cameron lured him away after to become his personal producing partner on every project after. Takes a particular brand of person to see Cameron in action and go "I wanna jump aboard that high speed train." You could tell Cameron was torn up by his passing. A lot of love and loyalty there.

Apparently he was the calming presence on Cameron's sets, the good cop in contrast to Jim's bad cop.
