“I am so lucky to have found such a generous, talented and captivating soul as Tony Germano. It is one of the rarest gifts,” film director Matheus Marchett posted on Instagram, according to Brazilian outlet Folha.
“Sad for those who could not act alongside him, whether on stage, on screen, or in life. Those of us who were able to have even just a little bit of Tony in our lives are very, very lucky,” the filmmaker added.
