CAA agents Larry Galper and Ryan Heck — who work on the teams of several high-profile clients, including “Sons of Anarchy” star Charlie Hunnam and “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington — will not be returning to the agency in the new year, several individuals with knowledge of their plans tell TheWrap.
