Matt added Treat was “one of the few actors I’ve worked with who always checked in on me – even years after we worked together,” saying, “Treat – you were an amazing actor and an even better person and I will miss you. I count myself so blessed to have known you. My heart goes out to your wife and children. Rest in Peace my friend.”
