Ari Gold

Jeremy Piven wins a Golden Globe award for Supporting Actor in a series, playing Ari Gold in Entourage. He bested Kevin Dillon, who plays Johhny Drama, for the title.

Both of them were deserving, and although most, including me, were routing for Kevin Dillon, Jeremy is as deserving as he is. Both are fine actors and do a good job in Entourage.

Congratulations Ari!

Let’s go Ari and Drama! Cross your fingers people.

The most grounded of Vince’s friends, Eric does his best to keep Vince on track personally and professionally. Eric acts as Vince’s manager, sometimes causing friction between these lifelong friends. Eric reads Vince’s scripts for him, and knows his friend’s next move depends on how well Eric can get a grasp of the Hollywood shuffle. Eric’s advice to Vince also periodically angered Ari, who feared that Eric’s advice may have steered Vince towards the wrong projects. The tensions between Ari and E boiled over after Vince got bumped from the Ramones biopic, eventually leading Eric to fire Vince Chase’s first (and only) agent.

A native of Queens, Vince has seen his profile (and his paychecks) steadily increase over the last year. But stardom is never a guarantee, and Vince made a risky choice in picking the indie film “Queens Boulevard” instead of a larger, more commercial film. Luckily, Vince’s turn in “QB” paid off, leading to him being cast in James Cameron’s blockbuster “Aquaman,” a role that catapulted him to the top of Hollywood’s power lists. Unfortunately, the good fortune didn’t last, as Vince was dumped from “Aquaman 2″ after a disagreement with the studio. Other problems derailed Vince’s involvement in both “Medellin” and “I Wanna Be Sedated,” leading to the possibility that Vince’s time on the A-list may be short-lived.

Episode 36 entitled “Dog Day Afternoon” airs today! Watch out for a short review after we view the show.

Vince and Eric procrastinate over the period movie, rankling Amanda. Meanwhile, Eric plans a romantic weekend with Sloan, but can’t seem to tell Vince that they want to go solo. Turtle and Drama find a pair of dream dates at the hottest singles spot in L.A. – the dog park – but Ahnold soon puts the kibosh on their romantic plans. Meanwhile, Ari orders Lloyd to “take one for the team” to help land a top TV writer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! That song is entitled “Superhero” by the band Jane’s Addiction. Read more about it here and the lyrics here.

Way back in episode 1, I’m sure you remember Mark Wahlberg’s short cameo when Vince and the gang visited the studio. The show is produced by Mark Wahlberg obviously and a lot of it is based on his real-life experiences on having an “entourage.” In the first episode, Mark was with a guy that had sweats (resembling Turtle), a decent-looking dude (Eric), and another one that resembles Drama. Go ahead and review that episode!

Finally today, Season 3 continues with it’s 13th episode entitled “Less Than 30.”

It’s Vince’s birthday, and with it comes the promise of a new year… and a new (hot) agent, Amanda, who wants Vince to do a high-profile period film. With the end of their relationship still stinging, Eric and Vince agree to have a friendly lunch with Ari. Turtle takes the reins planning Vince’s birthday blowout, but rising costs, not to mention the strain on E’s credit card, force him to seek alternative funds.
