Vince reference in HBO's Entourage

Tonight I was watching the new HBO series, "Entourage" and wondering who this show might have been modeled after. Probably no one in particular*, but of course I'm thinking Vince. Always Vince on the brain. And then about 20 minutes into the show, I almost fell off the sofa when there was an actual Vince Vaughn reference, and a very funny one, I must say. I don't want to spoil it for anyone because I'm sure the ep will be re-airing this week. But I recommend watching it. You will especially appreciate the VV reference if you have been following the "this is rather shallow, but" thread on the IMDb Vince board!

Here are a couple of articles I found about "Entourage" that mention the Vince reference and also a comparison to Swingers.

USA Today
New York Times
Cleveland Free Times

*addendum-supposedly it is loosly based on Mark Wahlberg, who is the Executive Producer of the show.

C- Is the guy on the right supposed to resemble Vince in Swingers? I guess anything's possible.

I meant the guy on the our left. Sorry!

Well, no...actually, no one in the show is supposed to resemble Vince Vaughn. There was a Vince Vaughn reference in the script in the first episode. That's why I posted this. (But the lead character's name on the show is Vince.)

BTW, the guy on our left is Matt Dillon's brother, Kevin. See the resemblence?
:D

Yes - I know him. He's lost weight, I think.
