The Cast of Entourage

Ah yes, Hollywood is desperate for money so they are making a movie based on the TV show, Entourage, that will be coming out next year  We all remember this show, right?  It was the one about a hot young star named Vinny Chase and his 'entourage' of friends that was awesome for about three seasons and then got stupid.  Well, I still remember it but got to thinking (which is rare), for a show with some decent actors, what have their careers looked like since that show came on the air in 2004?  This is what I found:

• Adrian Grenier - Other than a small part in The Devil Wears Prada, Vinny Chase has not been in a movie that I've heard of.  Adrian is a good looking dude (no homo) so it's quite surprising he hasn't gone on to do anything else.  Are the Entourage royalties that good?
• Kevin Connolly - Better known as E, Kevin has done a whole lot of nothing you have heard of.  He was in the recently cancelled CBS show, Friends With Better Lives, and a couple of movies no one has ever seen.  I still remember seeing him in The Beverly Hillbillies movie that came out before Entourage, so he has that going for him.
• Kevin Dillon - The younger brother of Matt Dillon, Kevin has actually been in a couple of movies I have heard of, and one of which I've seen.  Those being Hotel For Dogs and Poseidon.  I will never be caught dead watching the first one and the second sucked donkey balls.
• Jerry Ferrara - Oddly enough, Turtle has gotten the most work of any of his cast mates since Entourage started.  He's been a lot of crap, but he has been in a lot of stuff you have at least heard of like Eagle Eye, Battleship, Think Like A Man, Think Like A Man Too, Last Vegas, and Lone Survivor.  Too bad he will always be known as Turtle no matter how many crappy movies he makes.
• Jeremy Piven - You would think Ari Gold would be able to do what ever he wanted after winning three Emmys and a Golden Globe for his character on the show, but oddly enough he really hasn't.  He was in that terrible Smokin' Aces movie and had a small part in the underrated RocknRolla, other than that, he hasn't done anything of note in the past decade which is really sad, because I love Jeremy Piven (no homo).
• Rex Lee - LLOYD!!!! is actually the only person on this list who got a regular part on a TV show that lasted more than a few episodes.  He played the guidance counselor on Suburgatory.  It lasted for three seasons and started out kind of funny, but by the last season, it was really bad, but at least Rex got some work, right?
• Emmanuelle Chriqui - The only thing that the incredibly beautiful Sloan has been in that I have seen since she first appeared on Entourage was that piece of shit Adam Sandler movie, Don't Mess With The Zohan.  According to her IMDB page, she has done a lot since the show, but absolutely nothing that you or I have ever seen.  How is this possible?  She's so hot.  Look at her down there, how is that woman not in more stuff?  I am truly baffled.

So, what did we learn today?  After a successful TV show ends, the stars of that show either A) don't work on anything you will see again (unless they are Jennifer Aniston), or B) apparently live off some fat royalty checks.  Will the new Entourage movie make up for the last few awful seasons of the show?  I'm going with no.  Will I see it before it premieres on HBO?  Same answer.

"Seriously, look at her, how has she not gotten more work?"
