Jake was known to have had a glowing roster of clients before his passing, with him having worked for the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Jackie Chan.

Speaking at the service on Thursday, October 19, Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that the late lawyer helped him and Sylvester Stallone reconcile when he brought them into the Planet Hollywood deal way back when in 1991.
Arnold spoke of how he despised Sylvester at the beginning of their careers. Incredibly competitive about various things, from the size of their muscles to how much money they were earning, the pair were at loggerheads until they united thanks to Jake.
