Entourage is a comedy drama released on 18th July 2004. It is produced by Mark Wahleberg and stars Adrian Grenier, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven.
Entourage follows an up and coming actor in Hollywood, Vincent Chase and his group of friends Turtle, Eric and big brother Johnny “Drama”, following the high, lows, glitz, glamour and shenanigans that come with being a movie star on the rise. Chock full of cameos from the likes of Jessica Alba, Jimmy Kimmel, Scarlett Johnansson and yes even James Cameron who is directing his big superhero epic ‘Aquaman’ and wants Vince for the leading role. Entourage gives a convincing portrayal on what it would be like to live in the bizarre world of Hollywood and gives you an engaging peek (admittedly exaggerated) look behind the curtain of the acting world.
The surprising stand out though is Ari Gold, portrayed by Jeremy Piven. You can tell Piven is having an absolute blast playing the outlandish, demanding, comedic and quick witted talent agent. You would think this kind of role would be played up for laughs (which it definitely is in season one), but by the end of season two Ari’s story ark take a surprisingly refreshing and touching turn as you find out there are multiple layers to this fast talking agent.
Entourage is a show tailor made for me. Great characters, check. Shows the inner workings of Hollywood, check. Star studded cameos, check. If your into movies and film just half as much as I am, you owe it to your self to check out this show.
