Entourage (television series)
Entourage is an original comedy series on HBO. The show chronicles the rise of a hot young movie star named Vincent Chase and his childhood friends from Queens as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Hollywood. Vince's entourage consists of: Eric, his closest friend who acts as his manager; Johnny "Drama" Chase, his older brother, an avid cook and a struggling actor in his own right; and Turtle, who is simply living the high life riding Vince's coattails and serves as a gofer. Other characters in the series are Ari, Vince's high-powered agent; Shauna, his long-suffering publicist; and Emily, Ari's personal assistant and Eric's love interest.
The show appears to have captured the interest of Hollywood, and has been renewed for a second season. Executive producer Mark Wahlberg had a cameo in the first episode, and other Hollywood stars, including Jessica Alba, Jimmy Kimmel, Luke Wilson, Gary Busey, David Faustino, Larry David, Scarlett Johansson, Sara Foster , and Sarah Silverman lent their star power to the show, playing themselves.
On July 19, 2004, HBO renewed the comedy series for a second season of 14 episodes, set to premiere on June 5, 2005
