Ari Played by Jeremy Piven

[Replies: 40]
To call Ari a shark would be a compliment. This high power agent is ruthless, relentless, and is ALWAYS at the top of his game.

Discuss all things Ari here.

Hmm, I would think so, but who knows? Hollywood is Hollyweird -- people connect, hook up, date, marry their co-stars all the time. Some of them last, alot of them are May/December romances. I would imagine if the circumstances were right, there wasn't much acrimony between the two, they could work together professionally, sure. It all depends on the personalities of the people involved too, if they could handle it! :)

I think I am caught up on all the episodes now.

I just love Jeremy Piven. Didn't know much about him before now.

I didn't even know she dated him....I miss all the good gossip! I do think she is a great actress but don't see them working together after breaking up.

Yeah, I agree she is a great actress but I don't think Jeremy would go for it. Although it may add some tension to the character depending on how they would handle it.

Is this a really stupid joke? Didn't Jeremy and Vanessa date and break up a long time ago? There is no way Entourage could ever hire Vanessa- Jeremy would never stand for it!

A really good Actor would be "Sam" from "Las Vegas" Samantha-Jane Marquez, aka Vanessa Marcil, how cool that would be for her to play either a Jr. Agent in Ari's Club, or, as an opposing agent against Ari, get to rep Vinnie and try to steal him away from Ari....She was ruthless on Las Vegas, she could be ruthless on Entourage....Sam would rule, I'd like to see a knock down, drag out between Ari and her; that might really work...Heck, she could be a Love interest for Vince too or_____whoever?

I have to agree. I think he's become one of the main reasons I like Entourage.

Getting back to character's roots:

Ari used to have several catch-phrases that defined his character as much as the over-the-top aggressiveness did. How often (if ever) did we hear these in Season 6:

Boom!

Let's hug it out.

I know someone who thought Ari's character was unrealistic. Since then I've seen him talk about how funny Ari is and he's never seen a single episode. What does this teach us?

Ari could take shits all year and people will find him funny just because their best friend thinks he's funny.

Ari was great on this show. They should seriously think about bringing him back.
