Eli snubbs his cameo on "Entourage"

GMEN27 : 5/28/2015 11:06 am
I loved the show and can't wait for the movie! Would of been awesome to see Eli in it, Tom Brady is his replacement. Wonder why Eli bailed on this.

this was for the show  
pjcas18 : 5/28/2015 11:08 am : link
not the movie.

Brady had a couple cameos that were allegedly supposed to be Eli.

This is why

Eli is the man. That show was corny and Eli knew it.

He has 3 kids  
ZogZerg : 5/28/2015 11:15 am : link
Maybe he was already busy with them and all of the other stuff he does.
There are

Other articles that said it was for the movie.... It would of been a cameo, wouldn't of taken too long to do lol. Not a big deal but it would of been cool, I also read something that said Dave deihl will be in the movie.
I'd rather light a twenty on fire  
ConMan22 : 5/28/2015 11:17 am : link
than go see that movie.

Good on you, Eli.
Never watched the show.  
Klaatu : 5/28/2015 11:18 am : link
Don't care.
Haha  
GMEN27 : 5/28/2015 11:23 am : link

Marky Mark is a Pats fan. IIRC they wanted Brady

That show should have been called Under The rainbow since 90 % of the cast is under 5 feet.

Ran into Emmanuel Criqui in a coffee shot on S Beach last year. Than k God I had may sun glasses on. Insanely hot in person too.
This Entourage movie  
Jint 77 : 5/28/2015 11:29 am : link
seems a bit gratuitous. What more can they get out of these relatively empty characters.

Especially Adrian Grenier's character Vince....So Boring.

If the movie was called "Johnny Drama and & Ari" it might be worth watching through Netflix.

Show was entertaining  
Old Dirty Beckham : 5/28/2015 11:35 am : link
in the first few years but became redundant and corny after a few seasons.
the first two seasons  
PaulBlakeTSU : 5/28/2015 11:39 am : link
were fantastic, and then it turned into a complete and unwatchable train wreck. Once the show needed more material, they had to expand upon each character. Unfortunately, having to do this exposed the four main guys as limited one-note actors that any character exposition about them in later seasons were cringeworthy.

I have never seen a show have such a sudden and dramatic nosedive.

Wahlberg was one of the shows producers, the shows creator (Dough Ellin, from Brooklyn) said they wanted Eli and he snubbed them, and Brady stepped in at the last minute. read the article.

And I agree the early years the show  
pjcas18 : 5/28/2015 11:45 am : link
was pretty good and Ari Gold, at one time, was one of the best characters on TV.
I agree  
GMEN27 : 5/28/2015 11:45 am : link
It was good and then became lame but still entertaining (to me atleast). Show was never short on hot pieces of A.... Also doesn't mean the movie is going to suck.

Never watched Rescue Me, I take it?

I don't know what season the few episodes of Entourage I watched, but they were awful.
I Watched The Show A Few Times  
Trainmaster : 5/28/2015 12:32 pm : link
and really disliked it. I hope Eli isn't associated with it.

As far as Brady "filling in for Eli", that's OK, as Eli has taken the stage for Tom at least a couple of times previously:




Don't care for Whalberg, but I loved Entourage  
Stupendamatic : 5/28/2015 12:35 pm : link
Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold made the show, and I'm excited to see the movie.
people are so

insecure and defensive. it's amazing some of you can make it through a day without being medicated.

first few seasons were excellent  
B in ALB : 5/28/2015 1:26 pm : link
hilarious.

Then it became corny as hell. Unwatchable and at times cringeworthy.

Couldn't agree more. I wasn't in from the start and borrowed the first three seasons from a friend. I flew through the first two and loved it. Then came the nosedive. I can't remember another show that took such a drastic drop. I never even finished it, I actually have no idea how it ended. I came to dislike the characters so much that I've never even bothered to look it up.
Can anyone spell misogynistic  
jjgmrg901 : 5/28/2015 1:57 pm : link
I watched a couple of the early shows. Every woman was used and abused by the characters. It got old very fast and Previn was the only one who could act.

He is also the only one I have ever seen on any other show or movie.

Whoever called them one note actors is spot on.
Matt Dillon's  
pjcas18 : 5/28/2015 2:02 pm : link
brother had a small role in Platoon. He was the sick SOB who based the old lady's head in. and he said "wow did you ever see a head split open like that".

He essentially played himself in entourage - the brother of a famous actor who was also an actor (struggling). So not much of a stretch.

Ari Gold (and his wife - who I think was Will Ferrell's wife in Old School) had the best scenes.

the show got un-watchable when "E" started to be more involved. He was as unlikable a character and as bad an actor as I've ever seen. and turtle was awful in his role, he was supposed to be the comic relief fat-guy like in a Jonah Hill kind of way, but he was brutal. and the lead actor was terribly cast too.

Kevin Dillon's not quite Frank Stallone or anything  
Greg from LI : 5/28/2015 2:20 pm : link
Besides Platoon, he also played John Densmore in The Doors and was in two good, if lesser known, movies - Heaven Help Us and A Midnight Clear.
Meh... me and the Mrs. loved it from the first till the last epi  
Stu11 : 5/28/2015 2:48 pm : link
we never over thought it, it was our guilty pleasure. We just took it for the cringe worthy comedy that it was meant to be. Piven was always superb although his melt down season was one of the few times I didn't love the show. Johnny Drama was classic too. I do have to admit when Turtle started scoring hot chicks that was a stretch...LLOYD!!!! BUT WHAT AM I GONNA DO????
Never got the appeal  
Model4001 : 5/28/2015 2:49 pm : link
The show was basically four entitled dickheads going to one party after another.

Eli went out of his way to ask... it sounds literally nothing like him
I agree with the general consensus about the show  
SanFranNowNCGiantsFan : 5/28/2015 9:37 pm : link
Seasons 1 & 2 were good, but the show dropped off a cliff afterwards. I don't think I even watched an episode of the last few seasons.

I'm tempted to see the movie, but will hold off on making a judgment until I see some reviews.
