His walls and desk are littered with reminders of some of the more interesting places his career has taken him: a photo of a grinning Togut surrounded by the Rockettes; a silver bullet from a company that owned the rights to The Lone Ranger; a caricature of actor Zero Mostel plucked from the wall of legendary Broadway-haunt Sardi’s. “Seriously, you go to bankruptcy functions and everyone is 5-foot-9.”
