    Fall isn’t the only time of year when baseball players take over our TVs.

  • HBO mooching off more Entourage

    HBO has seen its once unbeatable lineup of original programming dwindle away (The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire, Six Feet Under), and has been unable to plug those holes with new fare that could stay afloat (John From Cincinnati, Rome, Lucky Louie).

    But there's still one program that's going from the network's glory days--Entourage.

    Why is this no talent, one trick pony getting work in this business? hide show

    This guy will never be able to play anything other than the pudgy, little NY guy. I have to be honest, because there is no nice way of putting it, but Jerry has absolutely NO range, NO formal training, and it shows! Anyone who is in the business like myself, whether your a actor, casting director, agent, manager, produer, director ...they would all agree. He better pray that Entourage stays on the air , but personally I really wouldnt mind if they killed him off. No offense to freddie, Mena, and Alec, but I'm completely expecting/hoping this Brooklyn Rules independant to go straight to video.
    My advise to the rest of my colleagues..STOP GIVING HIM WORK! There are plenty of guys from NY that can produce better performances.
