In February this year, the Scrubs star expressed his devastation following the .
The talent manager worked with clients including Margot Robbie, Jensen Ackles, Henry Winkler and the late Chadwick Boseman, with the partners of his company Management 360 saying he was ‘a brilliant manager, consummate colleague and friend, a rock of our company and our culture, beloved by every single person who ever met him’.
When Huvane died, Braff wrote that it was ‘the lowest I have felt in some time’, saying that he was ‘so beloved in this town’ and adding: ‘I promise you, you could not have met a better man.’
In a new post shared on Instagram, the 47-year-old actor revealed he’d had the name ‘Chris’ tattooed on his arm, just above an existing hummingbird design.
‘I lost my friend Chris Huvane. Now I can always find him on my right arm,’ he wrote.
Braff thanked tattoo artist Doctor Woo for the new ink, adding that he also tattooed the hummingbird on his arm several years ago.
Several people sent heartfelt messages to the Scrubs star in the comment section underneath the post, including his Cheaper by the Dozen co-star Gabrielle Union, How To Make It In America actor Bryan Greenberg and Huvane’s brother, Kevin Huvane.
The late manager – who was survived by his wife Cole Huvane – joined Management 360 in 2010, becoming a partner of the company five years later.
When he died, Braff shared a photo of him on Instagram, saying that he ‘tried and tried to help him’ as he suffered from ‘severe depression’ for several years.
‘Each time I thought my pep-talk or idea for a new regimen might make a difference. He was so beloved in this town, so many others did the same. I promise you, you could not have met a better man,’ he said.
He continued: ‘Those of us left behind can’t help but think of what else we could have done. What if I’d moved in with him? What if I’d said this or that?’
