Executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, "Entourage" is a story about friends living the high life in Hollywood. The main character is a hot young movie star named Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) who after making it big in one movie, brought along his entourage of two friends, Eric and Turtle, plus half-brother, Drama, from their hometown in Queens, NY, to glittering world of Hollywood.
