Hate to see Johnny go….He’s one of the few GOOD GUYS in the business !!! Someone may step into his shoes at Warner Brothers…But they won’t ever replace Johnny Mitchell…!!! Best of Luck My Friend !!!
Johnny’s a straight shooter and Good Guy for sure! Hope he finds himself right back where he wants to be real soon!
It is never a good time to be “restructured” out. Although with the recent flooding this is really bad timing.
Johnny IS a great guy and I am sure we will be hearing from him soon. I am looking forward to seeing what direction he takes next.
