Entourage: Season 02 (2005)

Member Rating:

Season Two of Entourage begins just after rising movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier) has returned to Hollywood from New York, where he has starred in "Queen's Boulevard",an independent project dreamed up by his best friend and manager Eric (Kevin Connolly). Quite full of himself at this point, Eric demands that he be given an "official title", which as it turns out has no official duties. Meanwhile, Vince's other best bud Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) continues to be a thorn in everyone's side, and Vince's actor brother Drama (Kevin Dillon) has started getting weird ideas about his body, going so far as to schedule himself for calf transplants. Back in Tinseltown, Vince's agent Ari (Jerry Piven) is trying to land his client the starring gig in an upcoming big-budget blockbuster, "Aquaman", to be directed by James Cameron (playing himself). In anticipation of this plum role, Vince begins spending money like a sailor again, but the deal may be queered when Billy Walsh (Rhys Coiro), temperamental director of "Queen's Boulevard", refuses to allow a pre-release screening of the film for Cameron's benefit. Inevitably, the cash flow is reduced to a trickle, forcing Vince to accept a foreign TV commercial and prompting Turtle to seek out a few quick bucks as an X-boxer. Ultimately, Cameron does cast Vince in "Aquaman"; now our hero must not only win over the millions of comic-book fans who are eagerly awaiting this epic, but must also charm his way into the heart of leading lady Mandy Moore--with whom he ends up falling hopelessly in love. Alas, Ari's chicanery at the talent agency causes him to lose his job. . .and where does that leave Vince? In addition to James Cameron and Mandy Moore, Season 2 also features celebrity cameos by Hugh Hefner, Jaime Pressly, Pauly Shore, Danny Masterson, Ralph Macchio and Brooke Shields. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
