Jeremy Piven #1- Because he wants to hug it out with his Entourage
Welcome to the Jeremy Piven Appreciation Thread  Credit to: TessShipper (Steffi) Biographical Information (from IMDb)Born in Manhattan (b. 1965) and raised in Evanston, Illinois, he is an alumnus of the Piven Theatre Workshop founded by his parents (Byrne Piven and Joyce Hiller Piven) and a one time Chicago stage actor. Was a graduate of Evanston Township High School. Shared an apartment with John Cusack. Attended Harand Theater Camp in Elkhart Lake, WI as a teenager. He played Bernardo in West Side Story there. Son of Byrne Piven and Joyce Hiller Piven. Parents ran a theatre school in Chicago which John Cusack, Joan Cusack and Ann Cusack attended. Frequently acts in movies with John Cusack, such as: Bob Roberts (1992), Elvis Stories (1989), Floundering (1994), The Grifters (1990), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), One Crazy Summer (1986), The Player (1992), Say Anything... (1989), Serendipity (2001), Runaway Jury (2003). Brother of Shira Piven Brother in-law of Adam McKay. He was also supposed to star alongside his best pal John Cusack in High Fidelity (2000), but had to pull out due to other commitments. Attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. While in school he performed in plays such as "Julius Caesar." Shares a birthday with Kevin Spacey, Sandra Bullock and Kate Beckinsale. He got malaria while filming PCU (1994) and had to be rushed to the hospital. Was considered for the role of Dolarhyde in Red Dragon (2002). Personal Quotes Personal quotes "From the get-go, I'd keep talking and never stop. Literally, I would take single lines and just keep going. In Runaway Jury (2003), there are so many great actors but I got lucky because I'm standing next to Dustin Hoffman! That's the secret; Get next to him and they can't cut you out!" - on how to make an impression in small roles. "John Cusack and I have been friends since childhood, and the fact that we're in so many films together is, no pun intended, serendipitous. I audition and, after I find out I've got the job, I call Johnny and say 'hey man, we're going to be in New Orleans together'. And because we've done a bunch of films, people connect the dots. But, that's not the case". "When I was in London, I saw Ralph Fiennes in Brandt. My mother and I went to the stage door, because we were so blown away by it. We were just gushing American fans. And then this guy went 'ohmigod, Jeremy Piven!' And he started giving it up in a very un-British way. It was a strange moment". "I have a place in Chicago and I get there as much as I can. ... The city is so unbelievably beautiful. It's one of the greatest cities on the planet. My heart beats differently when I'm in Chicago. It slows down and I feel more at ease." - On Chicago "It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones." "I'm a stage actor. That is what I do." If I have a rapper like Common rolling hard with me at a club and I hand him a microphone and he hits five songs in a row and the crowd goes crazy, I don't feel guilty about drinking on the house.

i
 Jeremy. i remember going and seeing PCU in theaters when it came out, i think that's when i officially knew he was going to be huge. he's cute and hilarious. you've got to love the guy. he's on myspace ... i think he's one of the few celebrities on there, that actually takes the time to respond back to his fans. he's just awesome like that. i'd like to be added to the list.  __________________

Added you both to the list. He has myspace? I knew some celebrities were on there, but not Piv. Anyway, I'm glad you guys love Jeremy as much as I do. He's so funny in Entourage.
Ari: You want to hug it out? Eric: No, not really. Ari: Let's hug it out, bitch. I love that scene __________________

ok, so apparently he has deleted his profile. because i am a number down on my friend list and he's no where to be found
 .... that sucks. i did a general search and there is a new profile set to private now, so i'm wondering if maybe people were hacking his account or something so he had to create a new one. i remember that one of the blogs he was talking about the baseball game incident. i believe another one he was talking about his mom. sorry guys. __________________

Hey everyone!
 I don't know if anyone has discussed this before, but I just found this thread so I thought I would mention it. Jeremy came to U of I for our basketball team's first practice and I thought I would post a couple of pictures that I took. Sorry for the quality, it was pretty foggy in there and cheerleaders and other people kept stepping in front of him. I did my best.        Whoa...and sorry they're all so huge.  __________________
