Anyone here wanna hug it out?
Why we like him?
Jeremy Piven's hilarious demeanor and I'm-just-an-average-guy looks have transformed him into an unlikely sex symbol and an uncommonly cool television personality.
Why is he famous?
Though he's been a familiar face for close to two decades, Jeremy Piven didn't become a household name until he assumed the role of smarmy agent Ari Gold on the HBO smash Entourage.

Entourage!
His character Ari is based on real life Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel on the HBO television show \"Entourage\". The hit comedy series executive produced by Mark Wahlberg that takes a look at the day-to-day life of Vincent (Vince) Chase, a hot young actor in modern-day Hollywood, and his entourage. He's brought with him from their hometown in Queens, NY: manager Eric, half-brother Drama, and friend Turtle.
The series draws on the experiences of industry insiders to illustrate both the heady excesses of today's celebrity lifestyle, as well as the difficulty of finding love and success in the fast track of show biz. Now that the boys are getting used to the perks of stardom, Eric, along with superagent Ari, keep Vince's star rising while making sound decisions for a long-lasting career in a world of fleeting fame.
Adrian Grenier ("Drive Me Crazy," "Hart's War") stars as Vince. Kevin Connolly ("Antwone Fisher," "John Q") plays Eric, Vince's closest confidant who's learning the rules of the business as he tries to help Vince make the right choices and keep his trajectory aimed high. Kevin Dillon ("The Doors," "Platoon") plays Vince's half-brother Drama, whose own acting aspirations have been eclipsed by Vince's success. Jerry Ferrara ("Grounded for Life," "Leap of Faith") plays Turtle, the house manager, who's always up for a good time. Jeremy Piven ("Old School," "The Larry Sanders Show") plays Ari, Vince's aggressive, high-powered agent, who clashes with Eric over his client's decisions.
SMOKIN ACES!
The Smokin' Aces you'll watch is a different film to the one you'll have come to expect from the trailer. While there are guns, explosions, jokes, and women, things aren't quite what they seem as it also comes with a misguided attempt to turn itself into an intelligent drama which unfortunately fails spectacularly at the film's close.
That said, for 90 well-paced, stylish minutes, people make jokes and die in exciting ways, so you can sit back, switch off, and enjoy it. However, once the shooting stops, it self-destructs by trying to smarten up with a ridiculous plot twist, as if it's apologising for the guns and partial nudity we enjoyed earlier. The subplots fail to come together and it just falls apart, leaving you disappointed. Problems aside, Smokin' Aces is an enjoyable ride. Just make sure you leave before it forgets it's just an action movie and tries to become something it isn't.
