Rex Lee, who plays Ari Gold's efficient assistant Lloyd on HBO’s Entourage, just wants to know what's going on. TV Guide spoke to the actor in Las Vegas on Friday, the first evening of Planet Hollywood's opening event. "This is the first time I have seen some of the producers [and I'm asking], "What's going on? What's going on?"
The answer is apparently, “I don't know," he reports. "It could be a mess because if the writers don't end their strike soon enough, we probably can't shoot [the new season]. If we started to shoot we would catch up to [the already-written scripts], but if we don't start when we are scheduled to, the [Screen Actors Guild] will maybe go on strike in the summer. It's going to be a mess.”
Lee says "three or four" Entourage scripts were completed pre-strike.
"It is disappointing. This is my big break and so I've never experienced a situation like this," Lee says dejectedly. "It's almost like there was a regularity to my year that this has interrupted and it never occurred to me that something like this would interrupt it so.”
Though he rarely sees cast members off set, many were in Vegas on Friday. Lee says he spoke to them and "everyone's... trying to be philosophical about it." — N.F. Mendoza
