Dan Fogler has been the best thing in a hundred things you’ve seen, and he’s the kind of actor people recognize before they can place the name. He and Jeremy just finished shooting a film in London about Nixon’s early years, so they get deep into the actual craft — how you build a character, what you steal, what you throw out — and trade stories about the eccentric greats: Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Marlon Brando. It’s also an honest look at what indie filmmaking really is, which is a lot less glamorous than the posters. Two working actors talking about the work.

Entourage does not exist without Doug Ellin. The creator sits down with the man who played Ari Gold and they hash out the whole thing: how the show got cast, the writing nightmares, what it was actually like dealing with HBO, the beefs inside the cast, and the reboot everyone keeps asking about. If you have ever wanted the real story behind Entourage from the two people closest to it, this is the episode.

SEASON 3 PREMIERE! Jeremy first met Teófimo López years ago with Mike Tyson — an electric kid on the rise. Now he's a man with the titles to prove it. The gym hours nobody films. The weight of a last name. The father who trained him, drove him, and made all of it complicated. The belt he just took, and the Ryan Garcia fight everybody's waiting on. No handlers, no script.
