About Irving Paul Lazar
Irving Paul "Swifty" Lazar was an American lawyer, talent agent and dealmaker, representing both movie stars and authors. During this period, Lazar's image became associated with his comically oversized, thick-framed black glasses, which combined with his short stature and bald head created his signature appearance. Lazar appears as a character in Peter Morgan's stage play Frost/Nixon, first staged at the Donmar Warehouse, London on August 10, 2006, and played by actor Kerry Shale. Lazar's power became such that he could negotiate a deal for someone who was not even his client and then collect a fee from that person's agent.
