During an interview this past weekend, Entourage star Kevin Connolly said he’s still getting used to do all the press and publicity stuff he does to promote the show.
I told him that if he can get through any scene with Johnny Drama in it without completely losing it, then he could pretty much handle any interview by any interviewer.
“He’s my favorite character on the show,” Connolly, aka “E” said. “He kills me.”
Indeed, Drama is a hilarious character and his hijinks are classic. But the show works so well because of the on-screen chemistry of the ensemble cast. Still, we all have our favorites. Who’s yours?

Entourage is a great show, but I have yet to see mentioned anywhere in the Long Island Newsday articles and blogs that Kevin Connolly grew up in Medford, NY (Suffolk County) and graduated from Patchogue-Medford High School in 1991!!
Melissa, thanks for the comment. Read this Sunday's Fanfare section for the Connolly's from Long Island story.
i used to babysit for kevin when he was younger.
Entourage is considered one if not the best show on HBO's sunday line up, the only question I have is since all the characters grew up in New York, why they dont film an episode on long island (hamptons)or New York city? a homecoming for Kevin Connolly
..another little bit of Long Island in “Entourage”? In season two Turtle has some NY goodies shipped out to the crew in Calif. The pizza is Eddies—which is located in New Hyde Park, Long Island.
Kevin graduated in 1992 :)
