Jeremy Piven is [censored] awesome

See: Entourage.

"Is that the way they drive in Tiananmen Square, bitch?"
"Let's hug it out, bitch."
"Call me Hellen Keller, because I'm a [censored] miracle worker!"
"I'm like R. Kelly at recess here!"

[jakethebake]

Jeremy Piven? He's John Cusack's sidekick right? Wasn't PCU the best thing he's ever done? Why is he awesome?

Just saw it recently and it's good too

[wh1t3bread]

He is excellent in "Old School" as well.

Hi Jenny Slater. Hi Jenny Slater.

[IndieMatty]

He's been awesome in everything he's ever done (even Elen) it's good to see him finally getting the recognition.

"Come on! I'm like R. Kelly at recess here! "

Hate to be a dick, but how was he so awesome in it? I think he was a little overshadowed.

[wh1t3bread]

d1ck. j/k.

I don't think he was overshadowed at all. The story really wasn't about him. It was about the other three. Piven just played a supporting role as a villain. And I think he did a great job with it.

yea, i love this guys humor

[Jezebel]

You can have it if you want to live in Agora [censored] hills, and go to group therapy, but if you want a Beverly Hills mansion, a country club membership, and nine weeks a year in a Tuscan villa, then I'm gonna need to take a call when it comes in at noon on a motherfucking Wednesday.

Many people credit Clint Eastwood with one of the greatest lines ever with "Go ahead make my day" from Dirty Harry. I really do not think he came up with that, but I could never tell you who did.

That's a very strange response, Dominic. Obviously, this thread is about an actor. Do you think people think that actors make up all their own lines?

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't think it was strange at all. I was thinking the same thing Dominic was. All the previous posters are quoting lines from an actor and calling him great because of certain lines someone gave him to read. They're cool lines. That doesn't make him cool. I've always thought he was a dweeb.

"Cupid" in its brief run was one of the best TV shows of all time.

[Soul Daddy]

But it really is Piven that makes the character so great. Yeah, he's given great lines, but so are all of the characters in that show. Piven steals every scene he's in.

[wh1t3bread]

First of all we don't know that he didn't make up the lines himself. Second, even if he didn't his delivery makes them them extremely funny.

You think David Schwimmer or some other assmonkey could do just as well or better? I personally don't think so.

so then how does anyone ever have a favorite actor/actress? without someone to bring life to the script its just words on a paper, there have been great scripts that were clever and witty that have been torn to shreds by crappy actors and then there have been mediocre scripts turned into gold because the cast elevated it. you are making it sound like they are just reading what they wrote and thats it.

Well that was sort of my point. The lines are good when people type them here, but I think he's a dweeb.

[wh1t3bread]

"Yeah, and Hilary Swank has a vagina, but she won an Oscar pretending she has a dick. That's what actors do. They pretend."

"All right, when you talk to Dana, tell her I'm going to take the pictures from Cancun, and start a website called imahollywoodproducerwhore.com and there will be no registration or fee required, and I will take out a full page ad in the LA Times promoting it. Give me a [censored] call back."

[SL__72]

On a related note Entourage is a great show and more importantly having HBO on demand is wonderful. When they say "its not TV, its HBO" they aren't lying...

[wayabvpar]

I haven't seen Entourage yet, but I have been a fan of Piven's since he played the extra drunk guy in Say Anything. One of my fav lines of his (that hasn't been mentioned yet) is from Grosse Pointe Blank- "I'll see you at the 'if I've peaked, then I am kidding myself' party".

As folks say, it is all in his delivery. Good stuff.

I was a screenwriter in Hollywood for many years...you'd be surprised how many people actually DO think actors just "make it all up" themselves.

Obviously, I'm bitter.

was a screenwriter?


no offense - but does that mean you weren't very good at it? maybe you should have given piven some of your stuff.

given piven...i kill me.

actually, Piven was in something I wrote....and while I am still a screenwriter, I no longer live in Hollywood...I live in Vegas and am busy in preproduction on a movie I wrote that I'm also directing.

And if you really think the best talent rises to the top in Hollywood, you're very naive!

i was just trying to stir [censored]. i know how tough and unfair the hollywood scene is. not first hand, but i have friends who have tried/are trying to make it.

good luck on your current project.

My thoughts exactly. I don't see how the fact that anne sullivan was her teacher or whatever could possibly be part of the joke. I don't think many people know that, so I don't see how they could be expected to get the joke.


Anne Sullivan was from Tewksbury, and/or Helen Keller was trained by Anne Sullivan in Tewksbury.
