Entourage is everything viewers have come to expect
from an HBO series: smart, hilarious, and highly addictive, especially when
taken in full-season, DVD form. As implied in the title, the show follows
Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), a rising Hollywood star with bedroom eyes and an
over-active libido, along with his three childhood companions-turned-hangers-on.
Kevin Dillon plays Johnny Drama, Vincent's less-attractive, B-list actor of a
brother (he is Matt Dillon's less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother in real
life). Jerry Ferrara plays Turtle, the weasel and Kevin Connolly appears as
Eric, the Everyman hero who hopes to parlay his friendship with Vincent (plus
two years of community college) into a career in talent management. Along the
way Eric contends with the predictable self-doubt, romantic indecision, etc. The
cast is rounded out by Jeremy Piven (Doug Hughley from Singles) as a
foul-mouthed agent reminiscent of Jay Mohr's short-lived Peter Dragon character.
Finally, it's produced by Marky Mark himself--and you've got to believe that guy
knows something about the star-entourage relationship. |
