Last night, while watching HBO’s Entourage, it hit me: Rex Lee is my hero.His scenes tend to be brief on the show, but what little gets to do is the work of a comedic giant.
As the capable, game, invaluable “gaysian” assistant Lloyd, Lee is berated and appreciated, albeit quietly, by Jeremy Piven’s power agent Ari Gold – and serves as the show’s go-to guy for clever witticisms. (You can sample some of his best Entourage work here.)
Take last night’s scene at The Grill in Los Angeles, in which Ari and Lloyd team up to trick a competing agent off of a project Ari’s pursuing for Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) – and a much-deserved round of woo-woos.
A round of what, Ari asked.
Raising the roof and the sass, Lloyd answered, “Woo-woos!”
Trust me, it was funny. And only Lee could have pulled it off – and he did.
