Deadline has learned that longtime CAA lit agent Jay Baker parted with the agency abruptly today. CAA was not commenting.
The clients that Baker was part of the rep teams, are impressive. It included Oscar-nominated Minari writer/director Lee Isaac Chung, Oliver Stone, Duncan Jones, J Blakeson, Rupert Sanders, Nimrod Antal, Pablo Larrain, Neil Burger, Rupert Sanders and Davis Guggenheim. The exit was not amicable one and word is that it was an inappropriate joke. Deadline will tell you more when we know it.
