He partnered with Benny Medina, the manager whose life The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was based upon, for many years. They also founded Handprint Entertainment, a management company with clients such as Mariah Carey, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Lopez.

In a statement to Deadline last night, Medina said: "It is with a heavy heart that I must bid farewell to my dear friend, Jeff Pollack."

"Jeff was a talented writer, director, producer and entrepreneur ... but he would say his greatest accomplishment was his two children, Lael and Logan, to whom he was an amazing and devoted father.

"He was my partner, but first and foremost, a great and loyal friend whom I loved dearly.

"Gone too soon, I will miss him."
