So if he can keep his head down and deliver another reliable performance like he did for eight seasons of Entourage, things could soon be looking up for Jeremy Piven. Things got more revealing when Piven is asked if he was still close with the Entourage crew. "Well, you know, we were in two separate worlds . I represented the professional world and they represented the Peter Pan syndrome." For the record, that wasn't a compliment.
Next, Wilson will be seen in 12 Mighty Orphans and The Cleaner. Outside of acting, he was the host of ABC's 2020 docuseries, Emergency Call. Piven made his film debut in a 1986 teen romance, Lucas , which starred Corey Haim and featured a few other unknowns, including Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder. By then Cusack was beginning to land starring roles in similar projects, and Piven appeared with Cusack in One Crazy Summer , which also starred a young Demi Moore. He also had a supporting role in the cult-favorite Cusack teen romance, Say Anything , in 1989. A year later he appeared in The Grifters , and had a small role in The Player in 1992, both of which were Oscar-nominated films.

Piven has appeared in numerous successful films, including Grosse Pointe Blank, Singles, Very Bad Things, The Family Man, Black Hawk Down, The Kingdom, Heat, PCU, Old School, Rock N Rolla, Serendipity, Smokin' Aces, and Runaway Jury. He has also made cameo appearances in Rush Hour 2 and the U.S. release of Cars. He grew up in Evanston, Illinois, and graduated from Evanston Township High School. As a teenager, he attended Harand Theater Camp in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where he played Bernardo in West Side Story. In Illinois, he trained at Piven Theatre Workshop, founded by his parents.
Piven's acerbic comic skills emerged when he played a television writer on the HBO series The Larry Sanders Show . His first starring role came in the college farce PCU in 1994, in which he played a perennial student and natural-born disruptor in the send-up of political correctness on college campuses. He spent the rest of the decade in supporting roles in such fare as Miami Rhapsody, Grosse Pointe Blank , and Kiss the Girls . There was also a three-year stint on Ellen DeGeneres' sitcom as her cousin, Spence, out of which Piven was offered his own hour-long series on ABC, Cupid , which debuted in the fall of 1998.
Entourage debuted on the cable channel in July of 2004 and immediately garnered critical accolades. The storyline was loosely based on the early years of actor Mark Wahlberg's career, one of the series' producers, and the friends who came with him to Hollywood from his Boston hometown. On the show, the hot new heartthrob actor is Vincent Chase , whose posse includes his older brother, an actor whose career seems to be skidding downhill as Vincent's is taking off; the part was given to Kevin Dillon, real-life brother of actor Matt Dillon. Also eager to spend Vincent's money is a dope-smoking, X-Box-addicted layabout named Turtle . The foursome was rounded out by Eric , Vincent's level-headed manager, who is often mocked for his last paid job, as manager of a Sbarro pizza outlet back in Queens. Piven's role was originally a small one as Vincent's new agent, a powerful Hollywood deal-maker named Ari Gold who was loosely based on Wahlberg's onetime agent, a notorious industry figure named Ari Emanuel.

He began his career in the late 1980s with small roles in various films and TV shows before gaining recognition for his performances in the hit films “Grosse Pointe Blank” and “Serendipity” . It captured a time when "politically correct" was becoming a watchword and a culture. Looking back, the protesters look tame and quaint compared to what we have on campuses today.

Meador also thinks accountability should extend beyond the individual; she said that studios, production companies, management, and the industry at large should hold a level of responsibility in the alleged misconduct and behavior. But these systems in place are going to continue giving actors like Piven opportunities, Meador says, because they have something to gain from his professional success. Entourage background actor Anastasia Taneie told BuzzFeed News that while she was on set in 2009, Piven forcefully pushed her up against a wall in a dark hallway and grabbed her breasts and genitals.
