I am – Hercules!!
Sources within HBO say the sitcom “Entourage,” a Marky Mark Wahlberg-inspired tale of a rising movie star and his pals, is seeking an actor to play a powerful renegade online movie-gossip maven.
Herc -
They are working on casting an episode right now.
They're searching for a comedian to play "Harry Knowles" -- Apparently there's a real who's who of comedians cracking at it, trying to play Harry.
The part is allegedly a badly written unfunny part that isn't nearly mean or funny enough - but producers are apparently worried that Harry will sue, so they plan to change the name from "Harry Knowles" as it is in the script.
Apparently it’s a significant role in the episode and producers are going after a name comedian to play it.
But Knowles says “Entourage” producers needn’t fear litigation.
"Pussies!” roared Knowles in an exclusive interview with Ain't It Cool: Coaxial News. “They totally have my permission to roast me. Go on, make my mama cry! As for actors to play me? My pick is Eric Stoltz in a fat suit. Guillermo Del Toro. or lastly Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Or maybe Elijah Wood. Maybe Jack Black could do it, or that guy from RUN RONNIE RUN that was a little drunk his own self."
