Ari


Does anyone else not like him at all and think he is absolutely awful. I can't stand the character and his constant whining and overly homophobic and racial jokes. It's unrealistic how Vince and them are even friends with him. By far the worst character on the show and he brings it down.

Lol what the *beep* kinda show would it have been if Ari was nice. He was the MVP every single episode and liek it or nit you weren't supposed to like Ari at first cause that's how agents are in Hollywood.

Right, if Ari was nice, Vince career would have sucked and it wouldn't make his life interesting

reply

OP totally incorrect. Ari being like that WAS the show duh

reply

I liked Ari a lot in the beginning when he had 1 or 2 scenes per episode, less is often more. once he became more of a focus I found his schtick to get old.

Word on the street is that Piven didn't have to act too much to pull off the character.

Yeah the person who the character was based on (Ari Emanuel) said he chose Piven for the part himself , said if Piven can't play his character he does not want to be involved

reply

Pretty sure this show would have sucked major nuts if Ari wasn't in it.

The best, most interesting, most absurd character of the entire show - the guy who MADE the show and won THREE EMMY AWARDS in 3 consecutive years (nominated 4 years straight), and a GOLDEN GLOBE for his performance as Ari Gold .......... is awful? Are you *beep* kidding me??

Look, I look at the guys and ENVY the HELL out of the life they live. I would love to be any of them (well, maybe not Drama), OR I would love to be Ari Gold. The boys live the good life with expensive toys and different women daily. Minus the variety in women, Ari lives the same life (and Mrs. Ari is smoking hot anyway).

Bottom line is - Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) is the BEST character and actor on the show and you must not be a real fan if you think he is awful. And as for Vince and the rest being 'friends' with Ari, they do develop into a friendship, but, Ari is Vince's agent!! He isn't one of the boys.
