In the early days of Entourage’s eight-season run, Jeremy Piven was on top of the world. He scored multiple Emmy awards and Golden Globe nominations for his role as the hilarious, foul-mouthed Hollywood agent Ari Gold on the hit HBO comedy based on Mark Wahlberg’s early days as an actor. And while it seemed like this was Piven’s moment to finally make it big in Hollywood after years playing small roles, his career stalled out almost as quickly as it had started up. What went wrong?

He played Mr Selfridge not too long ago.

First guess: Is he hard to work with?

2nd guess: He doesn't have the right opinions.

3rd guess: Maybe he doesn't like the Hollywood game anymore and chose Broadway. Not uncommon.

I have met JP a few times. We both enjoy a nice cigar. Jeremy Piven claims leading man projects are not offered to him anymore. He also turn down a lot lower quality supporting role projects. He also claims to like doing stand up. His house is very nice. He is very well off.
