“THIS: One hits home, to hear the passing of Brian Tarantina. I met BT years ago when he was on a soap opera and I worked for the network. He was such a kind person. Gone too soon #RIPBrianTarantina,” another person said.

“Brian Tarantina was a friend of mine. He was a craftsman who taught me by example how being an actor can be the equivalent of being a tradesman. Do your job because you’re a pro. My friend has died. The world should know he was a man that honored his friends and his work,” said “Jack Ryan” actor Wendell Pierce.
