Ari Played by Jeremy Piven

[Replies: 46]
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.

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? She would rule!!! E would even like her...

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

I think Ari could sell ice to eskimos.

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.

Get Josh Hartnett on the show.

Doug Elin, Will you please have Ari slam Shia LaBeouf!

The Pitch:
Ari is trying to get Hartnett...

ARI:
(on cell)
Come on, Josh. Everyone knows that you should have been Indy's son. Slapping Short-Round on a Triumph doesn't...

ARI listens.

ARI:
(on cell)
I know you had an "in" with Hollywood Homicide. Do you know why Shia...

ARI listens.

ARI:
(on cell)
No. It's not because he's a Jew. It's because he had a Jew... Me. Ari fucking Gold. Are you in?

Well, Ari Emmanuel is Mark Wahlberg's agent... so I think he connection is slightly there. Although our Ari is much more of a caricature.

I love the "Ari" character, he is so damn funny, just wish he would cut Lloyd a little slack, who in their right mind would put up with that bull crap??

Jeremy Piven is awesome in this show and he is so fun to watch!!

Ari is one of my top two in the series (Johnny Drama is the other). I agree, Piven is a great actor. I can't wait to see his new movie (Ari becomes a used car salesman could be hilarious!). Although I will say, while his treatment of Lloyd is funny, it's starting to look more like he's pledging him for a fraternity, and not testing him, to see if he has what it takes to become a hollywood agent.

Jeremy Piven is a damn comedic genius! He has always been talented and funny as hell. He deserves all those emmys. Great character played by a great actor. I think I first saw him in "One Crazy Summer" with John Cusack---funny in that as well. It's about time he got his due...he deserves it.

I think he was just putting on a show for E, like he does all the time when talking about cheating.

He cheated on her (or at least he said he did, at least once).

I think it was season 1, sitting down to dinner with E, beginning the conversation with something like, "go ahead, ask me who I'm banging?"

Yep, if Ari ever cheated Mrs. Ari would take him for everything he has(his family, his business, his money) Ari isn't dumb enough to cheat on a intern flavor of the month like his sleazeball buddy Andrew!

I think it's also important to keep in mind that ari is very smart and his ability to anticipate people's reaction is what makes him such a good agent. Cheating on Mrs. Ari would definitely have consequences when it comes to the business and life he has built for himself. She's smokin while he's rich and powerful, if he cheats i doubt the juice would be worth the squeeze.
