The show follows the fictional story of Vincent Chase, a young actor from Queens, New York, as he navigates the Hollywood scene with his childhood friends, who act as his manager, agent, and publicist.
While the show is fictional, it draws heavily on the experiences of Mark Wahlberg, who starred in the film "Entourage" that the TV series is based on. The character Vincent Chase is said to be loosely based on Mark Wahlberg himself, and the supporting characters are inspired by his real-life friends and associates.
