Yada, yada, yada, we all know that Entourage‘s Ari Gold is based on Ari Emanuel. And that Emanuel’s client Mark Wahlberg is the exec producer of the series which HBO recently picked up for a 6th season. Now life is imitating art because Endeavor has just signed Adrian Grenier, aka “Vince” who right now is cold as ice in Hollywood. But I gotta ask: does Adrian really have that big of a career ahead of him?
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

He may have a career but it remains to be seen whether or not he can really act. Adrian needs a studio movie, not some indie crap.
Big Enough of a career for YOU, NIKKI to report on it…..douchebag
Personally I thought anyone could fill the Vince role. When I saw him in ‘Prada, I kept thinking oh, this is Vinny Chase, that guy from Entourage. He suffers from what many TV actors suffer from, Typecasting. acting classes would help to. Entourage to me will always be Piven’s show. If he wasn’t on it, I wouldn’t watch.
I like him. He looks great with a beard.
As briefly mentioned above…if Ari/Endeavor was smart, they’d take their new client straight to Warner Bros, along with a big writer, and help them out with their “new mandate” of developing more DC properties and package AQUAMAN.
Seriously, it sounds like a joke, but if they could pull it off, everyone would win. The marketing for the movie has already partially been done by Entourage…it would be a brilliant move.
A-Dub, afraid of a woman with an opinion, much?
No wonder you sexist pigs hate Sarah Palin so much. LOL!
Interesting question. There’s something about Grenier that I find appealing, and no, not just his looks. Sure, he’s overshadowed by his scene-stealing co-stars but that’s hardly his fault – Ari, Drama, Billy Walsh, even Lloyd.
There are plenty of good-looking actors who leave me indifferent but someone with that ineffable “something” can overcome lack of stunning talent. And I really have no sense of his talent from Entourage – he hasn’t had much of a role so far that can really demonstrate range. I’m hoping that the upcoming season where Vince finally has to confront failure at long last will give us a better sense of Grenier’s talent by giving him a meaty role at long last.
He’s likable, can do light comedy, and women ADORE him. Why can’t he have a decent career? Plus, given the money he’s making off the show he can probably just do the projects that interest him from now on (like hosting Planet Green.) Plus, he was plenty likable in that documentary he did about his dad.
In a town full of real a-holes, Nikki, why pick on someone considered a nice guy?
What’s to like? Most stars are every bit as dull as him. It’s the brand-promoting vested interests who create, sustain and defend the interesting PR and marketing veneer.
Perceived professional charisma is directly related to the figures on their product and their continuing algebraic proximity to a history of success when being cast.
They are their context.
Can’t strategise charm though, or wit, which is why it’s so seldom seen.
He’s a rude little douche that was nasty to one super nice gal I know. So rude, in fact, his entourage cronies that were witness to his pricky behavior had to apologize for him. He and Endeavor deserve each other if you ask me.
Tell us more, Bryan. Did he spit on the gal? I know he loves to spit.
The funny thing is the actors behind the scenes don’t really get along too much. They have huge demands and ego’s to boost and most of them don’t want to appear at ANY Entourage events together unless it is in their contract with HBO to show up. If they do decide to show up it is usually with a heavy cost or something ridiculous like “You have to pay Ferrara $15k to wear your sponsor’s shoes on the red carpet, plus $15k to show up for 20 mins minimum, plus free top shelf booze and gift bags for the star as well and his friends and assistants.
Hilarious.
Adrian Grenier is actually the most down to earth one of the entire cast. Rex Lee probably being the second. I know Kevin D. wants nothing to do with Piven off screen…same thing with Connoly…a lot of bad blood…a lot of what you see on screen tension wise exists in real life off the screen.
As for Adrian’s career…he will have a good 10 year – 15 year run at best and it will be dominated by Entourage. HBO wants the show to run at least 10 years for syndication dollars ala The Sopranos. The key is whether or not they can keep them in check to do so. Piven has stated behind the scenes that he really doesn’t want to go past another 2 seasons…without him the show dies a fast and immediate death. Grenier is open for 2 more seasons to let the story play out and gives it a proper send off. At this rate HBO “hopes” to have Entourage on its line up for Sunday night’s until 2011.
Spot on with the “Vince” being the weakest link on the show (followed by E). He is extremely uninteresting to watch but the show itself gets past that in a big way. Was discussing how the cast probably doesn’t get along in real life; nice to have that “confirmed”. Adrian will not have a career in the exact same way that any actor attached so heavily to their “character” on a show does. See the “Friends” cast.
So when is someone going to make the real Medellin? It could be the modern day Scarface.
Personally I find Kevin Connelly to be the weakest or maybe just least believable character in the show.
