As fast talking, wisecracking Ari Gold on HBO`s Entourage, it`s hard to believe that Jeremy Piven could ever be cast as the non-threatening, self deprecating Spence on Ellen, but Piven`s Hollywood career is so long-lived that he has played everything in between. His first big role was in Say Anything with John Cusack in 1986. He also had roles in There Goes the Neighborhood, PCU, Grosse Pointe Blank, Kiss the Girls, Serendipity, and Old School. It was not until the start of the Mark Wahlberg produced HBO series, Entourage in 2004, that Hollywood really stood up and took notice. Now he is a two-time Emmy award-winning actor who stars alongside the likes of Al Pacino, Ben Affleck, Paul Newman and Jennifer Garner in movies like Cars, Two for the Money, Smokin` Aces and The Kingdom.
