HBO Series: Entourage

HBO's Entourage is a great depiction of the fantasy world that celebrities and movie stars live in every day. Now, I guess I'm not really in a position to say whether or not this is an accurate depiction, but it sure seems like it.

Entourage started out the first season with a close circle of friends from Queens, New York. The main character, Vince (Adrian Grenier), gets a big break, and stars in a hit movie which starts the Hollywood life for all of them.

Eric or "E" (Kevin Connolly), as he is commonly referred to on the show, is Vince's manager and best friend. He is the more responsible and mature character and keeps everyone in line. When things get tough, E makes sure the friends don't get into too much trouble.

Just watching Entourage makes you want to live like a movie star. Expensive cars, houses, and parties - They are just a couple of kids living the good life in southern California.

Besides Vince and E, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Drama (Kevin Dillon), Vince's brother, make Entourage even more humorous. They bring nothing more than friendship to the table, and use Vince to get whatever they want - Parties, girls, and fast cars. The tagline of the first season was rightly titled, "His fame is their fortune."

The boys from Queens progress over the seasons into better friends, and business partners alike. They help each other out, and would never put business in front of their friendship.

Ari (Jeremy Piven), Vince's agent, is an incredibly sarcastic and humorous character that completes the show. He is a main character in nearly every episode, and no matter what, he will manage to make you laugh. His gay assistant, Lloyd (Rex Lee), does anything Ari wants, and it just makes it that much funnier.

Recently, the producers of Entourage have thrown in a huge twist of plot. Vince fired Ari at the end of the third season! This surely created some excellent suspense, and will make for a great 4^th season.

Will Ari get his job back? Will the friends try to do it on their own? Regardless, the next season should be great, and I wouldn't recommend anyone missing it!

Entourage has been nominated for 6 Golden Globes, and has won a handful of various other awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

If you haven't checked out Entourage yet, definitely buy or rent the previous seasons. Entourage is my favorite show to date, and I'm willing to bet you will enjoy it just as much!
