Looks like Jay Binder stepped out of his role via this article..I'm not a subscriber so I can't see it. Can anyone copy and paste quote the article?

I won't copy and paste copyrighted material, but all it says is that he has decided this is the right time to retire and that the office will continue to operate without his active involvement. It also mentions that he says he has cast 100,000 actors. (I'm surprised the number is not higher.)

I'm not familiar with Jay or the office in question, but that is a huge triumph and I congratulate him on a well-earned retirement. Thanks for the info Hogan.

Thanks, Hogan.

I know some members of his office have been called out for racist behaviors on social media so I wasn't sure if his stepping down had to do with problematic situations. Guess it just seems like a good time to retire with the delayed bway return.
