Multi-Talented Actor, Producer & Comedy Great Jeremy Piven Talks Latest Stand-Up Tour & New Films

As great of a diverse stage and screen actor Jeremy Piven is, his stand-up comedy is equally as powerful. With impeccable timing and hysterical accounts of life, his shows are not to be missed. We were fortunate to have him stop by the LifeMinute Studios this week, while in town for his New York stop at Sony Hall this coming Sunday, October 19th to tell us all about it and more. From growing up on stage beginning at the age of 8 (his mom and dad ran the acclaimed Piven Theatre Workshop in Chicago, and his sister is Director, Shira Piven) to his dozens of memorable roles on Broadway, TV, and the big screen. He played the Dean you loved to hate in Old School, the best friend you adored in Family Man, the gay Versace salesman in Rush Hour 2, and of course, his Emmy and Golden Globe winning role as arrogant, Hollywood agent Ari Gold in Entourage (who is based off a real-life person by the way.) The list goes on and on. Most recently he can be seen in the new flick everyone’s buzzing about Primitive War about dinosaurs that attack U.S. troops during Vietnam. He believes his greatest work, however, is the soon-to-be released, Arthur Miller short, that he obtained the rights to called; The Performance, in which he plays a Jewish tap dancer asked to perform for Hitler in Nazi Germany. Yes, he really learned to tap. The 15-year passion project is directed by his sister, Shira, and many agree, it has Oscar buzz all over it.
