Jesse Metcalfe Regrets Skipping ‘Entourage' Audition: 'I Blew That One'
Although Jesse Metcalfe made his TV heartthrob debut on ABC's Desperate Housewives in 2004, he missed a chance to break out that year on HBO. The actor recently recounted 'auditioning for Adrian Grenier's role' as movie star Vincent Chase in the hit 6x Emmy-winning Doug Ellin series Entourage, which ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2011 before culminating in a 2015 big screen offshoot. More from Deadline Rom-Com 'You, Always' Wraps Production In Queensland, Stars Adrian Grenier & Jessica De Gouw 'Boris Is Dead': Steven Bauer, Cam Gigandet, Thomas Dekker, Jesse Metcalfe, Martin & Jesse Kove Among Cast Additions To Indie Movie 'The Yogurt Shop Murders' Director On Revisiting The Tragic Case After More Than 30 Years: "It Was Just Such A World Of Darkness" 'I had an audition for Entourage, and I read the pilot episode, and I was like, 'This is stupid,' and I didn't go to the audition,' he admitted to People. 'Obviously, I had no idea what I was talking about,' added Metcalfe. 'That ended up being an iconic show that I absolutely love, and definitely wish I was a part of.' Entourage ultimately starred Grenier as Vincent, a newly-minted Hollywood star who migrates west from Queens, NY with his brother Drama (Kevin Dillon), best friend E (Kevin Connelly) and pal Turtle (Jerry Ferrara). The foursome acclimates to LA life with help from Vincent's agent Ari (Jeremy Piven). The series was a pre-The Studio hit that took frequent shots at the industry with help from a laundry list of Hollywood cameos and guest stars that include Martin Scorsese, EP Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brady, Pharrell Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, James Cameron, LeBron James, Mandy Moore, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Bob Saget, David Arquette, Seth Green, Mike Tyson, Mark Cuban, George Takei, Kelsey Grammer, Liam Neeson, Armie Hammer and Emily Ratajkowski. 'I blew that one,' Metcalfe lamented. 'Sometimes you gotta say no, but that was the wrong one. It taught me that I don't know everything.' The John Tucker Must Die star explained that he's since become 'absolutely' more 'likely to audition' for roles ever since that misjudgment. 'I've been auditioning for what it feels like is everything lately,' said Metcalfe.

Jesse Metcalfe reacts to Scheana Shay revealing their fling in memoir
Jesse Metcalfe dismissed Scheana Shay's new memoir in an interview this weekend. In an interview Us Weekly on Saturday, the actor, 46, revealed he hadn't read his ex's new book, which was published on July 22 and shared details about their fling almost 20 years ago. Jesse said: 'I just became aware of the book, like, a couple days ago. So, no, I haven't read it yet.' When Scheana dated Jesse in 2007, she said 'it felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I'd watched on TV and in movies for years'. According to Us Weekly, Scheana also wrote that she had a 'great time' during their romance, adding: 'Our relationship didn't happen right away. Soon after we first met, he went to rehab, so we started hanging out often only after he finished.' Scheana wrote that Jesse took her on a date to the Cloverfield red carpet premiere. 'I then spent my 22nd birthday at dinner with him. I vividly remember sticking to water and Red Bull all night as a way of supporting his sobriety,' she said. Despite not having read her book, Jesse said he appreciated that Scheana spoke positively about him. He said: 'It's always nice when people speak highly of you. It's better than people speaking ill of you.' Days earlier, Jesse also addressed his former flame mentioning him when she appeared as a guest on Tori Spelling's MisSpelling podcast. He said: 'She spoke highly of me, which was nice. It was a long time ago, 20 years ago. We were dating. I mean, it was - overall - it was pretty brief, but we were seeing each other on a regular basis.' Jesse joked that he's made it a point to keep Scheana's memoir 'away' from his current girlfriend, Helene Immel, whom he's been seeing since 2023. Back in January, Scheana announced her literary effort and said readers could expect 'tea' on her ex-boss Lisa Vanderpump. Another relationship mentioned in My Good Side is Schena's alleged affair with actor Eddie Cibrian in 2006, which happened while he was married to future Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. She claims in the pages of My Good Side that Lisa knew more about the situation with Eddie than she initially let on. Scheana claimed Lisa purposefully put her and Brandi together on screen in a Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills episode in order to 'launch Vanderpump's TV empire'.

Chris Pratt looks incredibly scruffy and gripes about mangy beard for his role in The Terminal List
Chris Pratt is almost unrecognizable with greasy unkempt hair and a scruffy beard for his role as James Reece in The Terminal List series. The actor was seen on Instagram during a lunchbreak from filming season 2 of the action series as he complained about the makeover process for the look, which some fans compared to Tom Hanks' character in Castaway. Chris, 45, gave a shout-out to his make-up team for the rugged transformation he underwent daily to transform into the part of a Navy SEAL leader in the TV thriller. Chris said: 'I just wanted to say, isn't this hair and make-up incredible? My team does such an awesome job.' As he showed a blood-stained hand to the camera, the star said: 'Look at ... I don't want to tell you what I've been up to, but there's blood on my hands. 'They do such great make-up and such great hair. And this mustache's hair is like a wig - it's a fake beard. It looks freaking incredible.' Chris joked: 'And the crazy thing about wearing a fake mustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth, which is gross, because it's definitely someone else's hair. 'And you don't know who's or where it came from. 'I mean, look at that hair. That came from what? I mean, that's not ... you don't think it's ... No! Is it someone's pubes?' A fan made a play on words about Chris's Marvel character Star-Lord, and commented: 'Scruffy-Lord! Even like that you look this good.' Chris's fellow actor pal Jesse Metcalfe added: 'F*** yeah, bro! You look awesome!' One follower was just happy the long wait for more adventures was getting closer to an end: 'Been waiting so long for Season 2! I know it will be well worth it!'
