Entourage (HBO 2004-2011, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly)

What would you do if your friend made it big in Hollywood, and then invited you and your mates to join him? Entourage, is a comedy series executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, that takes a look at the day-to-day life of Vincent (Vince) Chase, a hot young actor in modern-day Hollywood, and his entourage. He’s brought with him from their home town in Queens, New York, his manager, Eric, half-brother, Drama, and friend, Turtle.

The series draws on the experiences of industry insiders to illustrate the heady excesses of today’s celebrity lifestyle, as well as the difficulty of finding love and success in the fast track of showbiz. Now that the boys are getting used to the perks of stardom, Eric, along with superagent Ari, keep Vince’s star rising while making sound decisions for a long-lasting career in a world of fleeting fame.

Adrian Grenier (Drive Me Crazy, Hart’s War) stars as Vince. Kevin Connolly (Antwone Fisher, John Q) plays Eric, Vince’s closest confidant who’s learning the rules of the business as he tries to help Vince make the right choices and keep his trajectory aimed high.

Kevin Dillon (The Doors, Platoon) plays Vince’s half-brother, Drama, whose own acting aspirations have been eclipsed by Vince’s success.

Jerry Ferrara (Grounded for Life, Leap of Faith) plays Turtle, the house manager, who’s always up for a good time. Jeremy Piven (Old School, The Larry Sanders Show) plays Ari, Vince’s aggressive, high-powered agent, who clashes with Eric over his client’s decisions.

Also appearing in Entourage are Debi Mazar (Goodfellas, The Tuxedo) as Vince’s publicist Shauna and Rex Lee as Lloyd, Ari Gold’s much-maligned assistant.
