They so clearly want this noted for posterity, it seems only good manners to ask. Piven is clad in a tight jacket and a flat cap that remains firmly on his head, and when he first sits down he warily chooses a seat so far away, I have to lean my body at a 45 degree angle just to catch what he’s saying. But as the hour progresses, he gradually moves closer, slipping into seats nearer to mine every time I say something nice.

Mark recently went on the record in support of an "Entourage" comeback, but he hasn't committed to starring in a potential series ... And Jeremy tells us Mark is the key to getting the idea off the ground. Still, even if Mark Wahlberg set his sights on getting Entourage back on HBO, there might be concerns that the bro-centric show may not be viewed in high regard following the #MeToo movement, a sentiment that Ellin has pushed back at. Nierman says the trick to “not getting canceled” is to refuse to go away completely.
Piven appeared in David Mamet's "Speed the Plow," the first Broadway revival of the place. The production opened in October 2008 and was set to run for nearly a year and a half.

It was almost like going to graduate school — 4 years of graduate school — and hopefully I’m a better person because of it. It’s not easy to be That Jeremy Piven Guy, to stand out when relegated to a bit part and surrounded by other, starrier players, as Piven seemed doomed to be. But he was good at it, giving the few lines he got in films and TV shows just enough character to make himself noticeable without being over the top.
