Every wealthy individual understands that good company is a pleasure that money CAN'T buy!
In 2004, a television series appeared on HBO about an actor who succeeded in Hollywood and brought his neighborhood friends along for the ride. The show is based on the prodigious movie career and experiences of Mark Wahlberg. Mark is also one of the executive producers of the show. Aside from the numerous celebrity cameos, the series has a brilliant cast. Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, and Jeremy Piven are the stars of Entourage. Without being too verbose, I'll share a synopsis of my favorite episode with you from season one. The star actor Vinny Chase (Adrian Grenier) receives a shaky film review from a local popular critic. His agent Ari Gold, who is played by veteran actor Jeremy Piven directs the boys to take Vince out and keep him happily distracted from the article. Needless to say, the entourage ends up at a Rolls Royce dealership in Hollywood to purchases a stunning black Phantom. The next scene sums up the whole idea of the series as the team cruises down the strip listening to 99 Problems by Jay Z. I can appreciate a show that promotes success and friendship. I have extremely loyal friends and can relate to the show's vision of "extended" family. Ari Gold is my favorite character in the series. He is a successful movie agent who speaks his mind and gets things done. I honestly enjoy television shows that spark my interest and motivate me. Ari Gold is a character who is either pushing his company to the top, playing golf with Hollywood's finest or power suit shopping before meetings! Jeremy Piven was a perfect choice for this role. The Golden Globe winning series ended in 2011 but fans await Entourage the movie coming to theaters in 2015! Who wouldn't shower their friends with gold watches, fancy cars and a life that only the voice of Robin Leach can explain?
