Entourage (American TV series) - Wikipedia

According to Mark Wahlberg, Entourage was initially conceived when his assistant asked if he could film Wahlberg and his friends, calling them "hilarious.” Other reports credit Eric Weinstein, a long-time friend en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entourage…

of Wahlberg, with the idea of filming the actor's group of friends. Eric Ross Weinstein (born October 26, 1965) is an American cultural commentator and mathematician. He is a managing director of Thiel Capital. Peter Andreas Thiel (/tiːl/; born 11 October 1967) is a German-

American billionaire entrepreneur and venture capitalist. A co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, he was the first outside investor in Facebook. The only early investments were $2 million from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital

arm In-Q-Tel, and $30 million from Thiel himself and his venture capital firm, Founders Fund. The name "In-Q-Tel" is an intentional reference to Q, the fictional inventor who supplies technology to James Bond.
