This might be old news and an old clip for some of you but I just found out about it and think it so interesting I guess here in Seattle we get things a little late! Jeremy Piven’s character on EntourageAri Gold is based on a real life fellow Israeli name Ari Emanuel who they say is even more over the top in real life then on the show. But wait its get better Ari Emanuel’s brother is Rahm Emanuel President Obama’s right hand man. Their other brother Ezekiel Emanuel is one of the nations top doctors. I wonder what their parents put in their potato latkes growing up!!
