On Wednesday night, I went to the TV Academy in NoHo for "An Evening with Entourage." The entire cast, creators and producer were all there to talk about the show -- after a screening of the latest episode (36: Dog Day Afternoon).
I dig everything about this show (although, if I had to pick the weakest link, it would be the Vince character. He's kinda boring, but Adrian Grenier is so pretty it's kind of easy to forgive that), and now I appreciate it even more. Random observations:
- I had to wonder if Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara are good actors or just good at playing themselves. Sadly, I'm leaning towards the latter
- I love the whole idea of "Mrs. Ari." She rocks.
- How cool is it that Rex Lee worked as a casting assistant before landing the gig as Lloyd? How even cooler is it that he didn't quit that day job until 2006??!! Talk about being unaffected...
- I don't care how much of a douchebag Jerry Piven is; I love me some Ari. Plus, Pivs earned some serious cool points with me after his pilgrimage to India with The Travel Channel.
All this love for the show, but I don't have any plans to subscribe to HBO. I actually like getting the DVDs and watching the series like one long movie.
The next Academy panel coming up is for the show "Heroes." I don't watch it, but maybe if I'm wowed by the screening episode I might be tempted to check it out.
