Jerry Ferrara Entourage
He appeared as Salvatore “Turtle” Assante, who is another of Vince’s old friends from childhood in the American comedy-drama television series Entourage.

This character is based on Wahlberg’s old “gofer” Donnie Carroll, also known as “Donkey”. Carroll auditioned for the role, but the Boston native was turned down because the actors had to be New Yorkers.
Carroll died on December 18, 2005, from an asthma attack. Ari Gold is Vince’s aggressive yet endearing agent. Piven’s performance has earned him multiple nominations and Emmy Awards. Ari is based on Wahlberg’s real-life agent, Ari Emanuel.

He appeared as Joseph “Joe” Proctor, a criminal attorney who frequently represents Ghost and Tommy in the American crime drama thriller television series Power. Power depicts the narrative of James St. Patrick, a clever, slick, and vicious drug dealer known by the moniker “Ghost.” He wants to quit the criminal world and pursue legal economic opportunities as a nightclub owner. St. Patrick strives to balance those two lives while avoiding police capture, navigating his failing marriage, and managing shifting economic ties.
The show follows James’ family, which includes his wife Tasha, twins Tariq and Raina, and infant Yasmine. Power also follows James’ criminal associate and best buddy Tommy Egan, his love interest and criminal prosecutor Angela Valdes, friend-turned-enemy Kanan Stark, protege and rival Andre Coleman, and Angela’s colleague Cooper Saxe. Later seasons of Power feature appearances by defense attorney Joe Proctor, district attorney John Mak, and politician Rashad Tate. The show’s premise is driven by episodic cliffhangers.
