THE CAST OF ENTOURAGE
Nomination: Outstanding ensemble in a TV comedy, Entourage
Perhaps the reason why the HBO show – which takes an inside look at the brutal, yet decadent, Hollywood scene – is such a hit is because Piven, 41, knows what it's like to struggle. (He had 64 roles before landing the plum part of shark-y agent Ari Gold.) "You have to have an incredibly thick skin to be an actor," Piven told students at Northwestern University, his alma mater. "You have to deal with so much rejection. It's crazy."
Next Up: The boys will hug it out for a 12-episode-long fourth season of Entourage this year.
