“Cody was a dear friend, going back many years before he was a client,” Gittelson shared in a statement to THR. “My heart breaks for his amazing wife and beautiful kids. He had taken some time away from acting to pursue his music career and spend more time with his family in Nashville, but we had kept in touch regularly, and he was excited to get back into acting this year. Cody was such a loyal, loving and talented person, and he will be greatly missed.”
When he wasn’t appearing on the big or small screen, Longo was working on his music. He released a handful of singles, including his most popular song, “She Said.”
