I liked this episode because Vince started to realise he needs to grow up. He never gave a fuck before this. Not reading scripts, spending money, and Ari is right. He didn't even wanna do the first Aquaman. I loved it cuz Ari was being so real with Vince.
Throughout the show, Ari was the one keeping everyone moving it seems. This character was actually the one that was keeping the show entertaining as well. Jeremy Piven. One hell of an actor.
The show was never about Vince. That's the point. The show really was about Ari and to a lesser extent Drama. Ari was the engine of the show and what made the show work. It's like Seinfeld. The show was never really about Jerry Seinfeld or his character "Jerry." It was about his George, Elaine, and Kramer. That's what made the show great.
Vince wanted to be a great actor, Ari wanted him to be a movie star. And Vince didn't want to play the game. He didn't realize in Hollywood it's like "Ok, who's up next?".
Vince wanted to be a great actor but he wanted to live like and be treated like a movie star, that was the problem. There are a lot of actors that don't play the game but they don't want to live in mansions and drive expensive cars and party with models either. They understand that choosing not to play usually means you don't get to have the toys either.
Great scene; i love how although this was somehow based on Mark Whalberg; he was painfully honest about himself; he kinda knows he made it not because he was a great actor (there are hundreds of anonymous people who are better) but because he worked and earned the movie star status; two very different concepts Great actor, not so much movie star: Phillip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) Great movie star, not so much as an actor: Paul Walker (RIP)
@@JH-dr4xo man I love that movie so much. It's a hidden gem. The whole nightmarish fairytale aspect of it really elevates it from the average action film. Paul Walker, like Vin Diesel and a lot of movie stars can act just fine with the right direction, part and script. Let's not forget Paul Walker was headed in the serious actor direction before his action movie career, with parts in things like Varsity Blues and Pleasantville
I wish they would have stayed with this angle for Ari and Vince. Vince's character never seemed to have any arch. Turtle got his business, E got Sloan and Drama got Johnny Bananas. I thought by the end of the tv series they could have had Vince be nominated for a Emmy or something to solidify himself as an actor. Would have also been a nice representation of how he went from a boy to a man throughout the series. Instead they just had Vince get married to some blonde in the last season just to have the marriage be off by the movie.
Chris Rains I agree - that woulda been a great story arch for Vince, gotta wonder if that was the original intent after this scene but perhaps they nixed it due to Adrian not being able to pull off some Emmy winning acting on a show within the show? 🤔
Agreed. This was something overlooked that could have been a nice ending for his character. Instead they have him getting married to a girl he got shortly divorced to in the movie 🙄
@@Fox250R Johnny's Bananas. He was happy with it. But his entire story led to the movie finale...Vince had no real arch to give his character true purpose.
I LOVED this storyline for Vince. I always felt like his arc from season 6 plus was a MASSIVE blunder by the writers. I was really looking forward to seeing Vince and Ari struggle with Vince being a leading man and A-lister in Hollywood. It was like he reached "the top" at the end of season 5 and then he was on easy street. I always felt like the real work should have just begun since they worked for 5 seasons to get him to that level. Almost a "this is what you wanted" kinda thing. It would have been more interesting than a drug problem, fucking Sasha Grey, and randomly getting married in the finale.
William McCormick you nailed it. The end of season 5 was such a joke and sadly season 6, while having fun moments, really was the drop off in quality for the series
Couldn’t agree more . They should have dragged this out so much longer . Maybe kept them in New York for more then one damn episode before he lands a Scorsese movie and is right back on top. I didn’t hate the Sasha grey season because Adrian got to do some actual acting but this should have been a whole season of its own
Funny enough Colin Farrel actually went on to become an incredible actor as can be seen from any of the recent movies. He stole the show as "the coach" in gentlemen. He was amazing in 'In Bruges' and he is probably going to kill it as the penguin in the new Batman so ..go him I guess
Keanu Reeves is an actor, has a lifestyle of an actor(rides the public train, doesn't have 20 super cars, mostly wants to be by himself) but everyone sees him as a movie star. Dwayne Johnson is a movie star.
Rewatching the show it’s clear that if Vince had just listened to Ari and did what he said from the very beginning of the show instead of E he would have never had any problems whatsoever.
You figure after being motivated like that at 1:39 Vince would want to bury the hatchet with Alan Gray from Warner Bros after that statement, but no he sent Ari instead.
Frankly the actor played the role well because he never seemed like an actor. The in the real world E would’ve been a diminutive movie star like a Tom Cruise that’s what they should’ve done.
You think I'm a good actor? Definitely not buddy. My god this guy was awful in every scene he played. He was supposed to be the main character, but he was the dullest of them all. Jeremy Piven and his character carried this show
Its crazy because if I had to rank the entourage characters from best to worst in terms of acting it would be Ari, Eric, Drama, Turtle (grand canyon gap) then Vince
Entourage is funny and sharp. Could have had a legacy like Sex and the City (a show that many people considered to be equally as frivolous) if they focus on larger cultural issues within entertainment business while maintaining its sharp and funny voice (and yes Chicks, too,lol). You can still have women parading around as girlfriends, jump-offs and wives and still be "saying something" it doesn't have to shake the world it just has to be truth (i.e. women and the do's and don'ts of dating in a post feminist world... as the characters try to figure out what that means and screw up in the process a la Sex and the City) Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold (and his family members, specially Perry Reeves as his wife, Melissa, and Rex Lee as his assistant turned agent, LLOOOOOYD lol) brought that gravitas to the show. that's why people return, I think (look at all the Ari compilations...I've watched them repeatedly. It's like the only thing people search for about Entourage on YT). that's why I return. The other actors just couldn't swing it...a few tried (I can see the pathos of Johnny Drama thanks to Kevin Dillon and didn't believe Turtle's earnesty until the last 3 seasons (Jerry Ferrara is great at portraying earnesty see him in Power on Starz) ...but a couple couldn't. it's a good show, with great character actors (Billy Walsh played by Rhys Coiro is top notch) but with no legacy.
He’s done interviews recently where he admits that he had a problem with alcohol which is why he stayed from Hollywood. He admitted as well that during some of the filming of the movies he was in (SWAT, Phone Booth, etc) he was buzzed at times from drinking. Only his close circle knew about it. Look up recent interviews of him.
It's a great call that they brought up Colin Farrell. Hollywood tried to turn him into a superstar because he looked like a star. He is a fabulous actor and if not for his looks he would probably take supporting roles in quirky ensemble pieces.
He's Acting normal uncertain guy in hollywood, cuz real life hollywood actors dont act their private life so i think he's not bad actor ari over acting but he dont play actor

A lot of stars in every field should have a person like Ari that gives it to you straight, NO BS. Great scene.
This is a rare occurrence of Ari giving it straight though
most people in every walk of life cant handle the truth
@@jarrettstork9883 considering Vince rarely listens to him its hard to get him to see reason. So in that moment, he resorts to weaving around them.
Vince wanted to be a great actor, Ari wanted him to be a movie star. And Vince didn't want to play the game. He didn't realize in Hollywood it's like "Ok, who's up next?".
Totally; you have to be god mode legen (Di Caprio, Pitt, etc) who can be capricious

Mark Wahlberg has turned out to be a great actor though. Great acting from him in recent times. The Departed especially.
Wahlberg was 10x the actor Vinnie Chase is. He was fantastic in Boogie Nights and The Departed
@@kennethkoh9998 that was him being him. Plus he had a minor role.

Shame they Canceled Pivon, this role was made for him.
Ari telling it like it is. Vince didn't give a fuck.
Vince is not a bad actor. That’s just his character which makes him a great actor
He's the weakest actor on this show.
@@LynchyVidz Eric’s actor is Worse imo.
It’s took Ari that long to tell him
Entourage was seasons 1-5 .
This exchange would've never happened with eric in the room.
Ari would be cancelled in 2 seconds today! Unfortunately his words would give to many people booboo's on their feelings.
The would just put it on Netflix lol.
Fuq their feelings if they cant take a joke.
Auditorium by American Princess !!
The game is the game
Rewatching the show it’s clear that if Vince had just listened to Ari and did what he said from the very beginning of the show instead of E he would have never had any problems whatsoever.
What was ari’s response when he said you don’t believe I’m a good actor?
It remains to be seen
Ok.....I'll play the game 😏
the difference between a movie star and a good actor. its like comparing avengers movies to the godfather movies. one is a cash grab, one is a film.
Horrible comparison
1:15 I thought he was just feeding him a line, but I think this is actually true
Damn why Ari gotta get on Britney like that lol
You sound like Isaac Hayes when he was on Southpark.
Season 5, last good season of this show...
True.
Season 6 was...okay
7 8 and the film were all awful
Nah 6 was the best season
6 was so good
@@delucavr agreed

God he’s a terrible actor lol.
When Vince started getting motivated, Grenier’s acting took me right out of the scene.
He wasn’t that bad. He played the role how it was supposed to be played.
What makes it seem so bad to you?
He’s acting was actually surprisingly good in season 7.
He's Acting normal uncertain guy in hollywood, cuz real life hollywood actors dont act their private life so i think he's not bad actor ari over acting but he dont play actor
Colin Farrell is no longer a movie star.
He is a now an ACTOR.
Keanu Reaves was never an actor.
He is a MOVIE STAR. 😎
