CAREER SOON OVER?


From the looks of Adrian's filmography and the way his career has progressed, it's a fair assumption that his "big time" career will end with the closing of "Entourage".

It's strange, because, watching the show, it's very believable that Adrian is and should be considered a movie star. In the show's he's littered with pussy, which I have to assume he gets in real life from the show.

But what's odd, is that he really has NO movie career in real life. He must not be that good of an actor playing anything else. Vincent Chase must be his big role and that's it.

Which is kind of sad for him, that when the show does it's final 8 episodes, that's it! I personally think they should just keep the show going. I mean, why not?

I know they've said they may end it with a big movie, but, I don't like that idea. But that's me. I'll watch the movie, that's for sure.

But my point is just how odd it is, that this good looking guy, who can act (okay, he's no Daniel Day-Lewis), but he should certainly be getting roles in movies like "Fast and the Furious" who some kind of popcorn crap like that. If Paul Walker and Vin Diesel can got those roles, why can't Adrian Grenier?

I'm just saying.

Possible. But then again he wasn't a star in any way before Entourage. He was just another actor that you'd probably see at cattle calls. This could be just the beginning of his "Big Time" career if he has a decent agent and he has some talent behind those baby blues that he hasn't shown on Entourage.

Because it sucks now and its fan base is shrinking by the season/episode. It used to be about story with frills thrown in, now it's all about frill. "Vince is bangin' Sasha Gray.", 6 episode story arch...really? In season one that would have lasted for 12 minutes. That's not a story, that's an excuse to keep going throughout the season. Mrs. Ari bitching at Ari about missing Her blah blah blah or missing his Sons/Daughters blah blah blah, and walking out in the pre-sex ritual. I was so glad when she finally left.

But anyway, there are more premium shows (new shows) that are ready to air in it's time slot to gain back that audience that has been dropping out. Pretty much what happened to The West Wing, great show, it just got stale.

The character Ari Gold answered that question in the first season I believe. Because they're movie stars. They have the look, the attitude, and the talent (to handle being a movie star and not mess it up - not necessarily the talent of acting) to be a movie star. Personally I won't go see a movie if Adrian Grenier is the lead. He doesn't look like one or act like one...he looks and sounds like a puss in his day to day, in every interview that I have ever seen him in.

The role he had in Devil Wears Prada, perfect for him, want to know why? Because I can't remember him in it. Not saying it as a bad thing either, there are actors out there who do that every day, they show up...they make you laugh, they make you smile, cry...whatever....the scene cuts, and you completely forget about them. They move the story forward. Some of them are the best actors in the business, they're just not movie stars.

That paparazzi movie that he made. I watched it because of the kid...Grenier was just there. Every time he started talking about his career I wanted to fast forward, I could have given a crap...he merely moved the story along to the kids next sequence about his day to day because that was more interesting.

I guess you've got it all figured out.

Someone has to take up the slack of those that don't.

I think the same like u . I think they should continue the show because this show is really cool and one of the best shows I ever watch .

Even on Entourage, I never felt he was the best actor on the show... He's just the guy that's surrounded by a great supporting cast. Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven clearly are the true stars of the show. Adrian is a weak actor, if you ask me.

It's kinda like how Jerry Seinfeld was surrounded by a great supporting cast on his show, even though Jerry was playing himself. He was still the weakest link when it came to acting.

Hard to do other things when tied to a show for 8 years. Shall have to wait and see once Entourage is 100% done [chance of a movie still]

Based purely on what I've seen of him from Entourage, he's just not that good an actor. He's got that problem some actors have, where he poses instead of acts. Nothing looks natural to him.

For anyone else with his level of acting, the next step would be either stage plays or b-movies/straight-to-video, but Grenier (or his agent) has a knack for landing on his feet. He'll be fine.

True it's hard but it is possible. Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox have done quite well after Friends have ended and Sarah Jessica Parker is still good since the end of SATC. Granted some don't turn out so well (i.e. The cast of 90210) but it is possible to do other big things after being tied to a show for years.
