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.
