The UK newspaper ‘The Guardian’ has an excellent article about Entourage, by John Patterson. John actually visits the set on the Caltech campus and speaks to a few of the cast and crew. This is an excellent insight for new and old fans, and there’s even a few scoops about the rest of the season (Have a look below – if you dare!). Interesting to note the inspiration for each of the characters, Turtle being based on Mark Wahlberg’s friend Donnie “The Donkey” Carroll (aka rapper Murda One), Mark’s cousin Johnny Alves is the inspiration for Drama. Eric ‘E’ Murphy is based on Mark’s friend – Eric Weinstein (A credited producer!). While oddly Vincent Chase’s inspiration is actor Vince Vaughn, I guess there’s some slight personality resemblance there.
Also awesome to note one of Mark Wahlberg’s buddies: Rasta Russ giving Doug Ellin a bit of script advice
(Entourage) needs more naked girls!
Something I think we’d all agree on, let’s get it up to The Sopranos level, and we’ll be almost satisfied.
Here are the spoilers and scoops for those who want to know:
Adrian Grenier reveals “This season for me is all about coasting and relishing being back on top – all girls and smiles for me!” while Kevin Dillon says “(Drama) will do the dumbest thing he’s ever done in his whole career, or in the history of the show. It Just can’t be topped, it’s so dumb”, can’t wait for that one, it will have to be the most cringe worthy moment ever. Also revealed is Jerry Ferrara’s real life relationship with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, which I had no fuckin’ idea about – no wonder the chemistry looks so good on screen.
Peter Stormare is guest starring as Vince’s Security Consultant, you’ll all know him from The Big Lebowski as Karl Hung. He’s one funny lookin’ mutha fucka. Finally, the Entourage could possibly have an episode or a few scenes at The White House? Now that would be unbelievable. President Obama meeting Vincent Chase and his Entourage. Can’t Wait (fingers crossed).
