Plot: Up-and-coming movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier) has good reason to celebrate as Entoruage begins its third season: He has landed the title role in Aquaman, a megabucks epic directed by Titanic's own James Cameron. Likewise luxuriating in Vince's good fortune are his pals Eric (Kevin Connolly and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and his actor brother Drama (Kevin Dillon).
The only one not in a celebratory mood is Vince's agent Ari (
Jerry Piven), who has been booted from his job at a powerful Hollywood talent agency and is now living a hand-to-mouth existence and working out of an office no bigger than a broom closet. For a while, it looks like Vince will also suffer from a stroke of bad luck when the LA opening of Aquaman is repeatedly interrupted by rolling power blackouts. This is the season that Vince adopts a new member of his entourage, an ex-convict named Dom (
Domenick Lombardozzi), who promptly comes up with a plan to land Vince the role of a lifetime in the upcoming film Medelin--which, alas, would screw our hero out of starring in Aquaman 2. Meanwhile, Turtle is managing pop singer
Saigon and, as usual, is having trouble handling success. Drama is given a shot at TV stardom in his own series, Five Towns. And after two years of delays, Vince and Eric's independent project Queen's Boulevard may finally see the light of day. Unfortunately, once again poor Ari is unable to capitalize on Vince's success, having managed to mess up a proposed film project for
The Ramones and subsequently being replaced by new agent Amanda (
Carla Gugino)--whose first assignment for Vince is a period drama based on the works of
Edith Wharton, not exactly a brilliant career move for the star of Aquaman. Ultimately, Ari resurfaces out of nowhere with financing for the temporarily-shelved Medelin, but Vince isn't prepared for the sacrifice he must make to get this job. And while all this is going on, Turtle's fondness for limited-edition sneakers may completely alter the course of his life. Among the celebrities appearing as themselves this season are
James Woods,
Seth Green,
Eric Burns and
Pauly Shore. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
