Entourage: The Complete Series (DVD), Comedy, HBO

ENTOURAGE (2004-2011) The Emmy®-winning hit comedy series created by Doug Ellin, and based (at least in part) on the experiences of his good friend, Oscar® nominated actor Mark Wahlberg (who’s among the series’ executive producers). The series takes a none-too-serious look at the day-to-day life of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), an incandescent young Hollywood actor, and the three buddies he’s brought from their hometown in Queens, NY: manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), half-brother/actor Drama (Kevin Dillon), and pal Turtle (Jerry Ferrara). Also starring Golden Globe and three-time Emmy® -winner Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold – now heading an entertainment –agency behemoth – Entourage draws on the experiences of industry insiders to illustrate the excesses of today’s celebrity lifestyle, as well as the difficulty of maintaining relationships and artistic fulfillment in the show biz fast track.
