"Speed-the-Plow focuses on two high-powered Hollywood executives, Charlie Fox and Bobby Gould, who have come up from the mailroom together," according to press notes. "Charlie brings Bobbie a surefire hit with a major star attached. Bobby seems certain to give the green light, until his beautiful new secretary gets involved." Emmy Award winner Jeremy Piven has abruptly departed the acclaimed revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, citing high levels of mercury, according to Variety.
Playwright Mamet told Daily Variety, "I talked to Jeremy on the phone and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury. So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer." The Spider-man actor stars in and is executive producing a new thriller from the writer of A Beautiful Mind due to hit AppleTV+. Piven performed "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field on Father’s Day, 2006.

At the first of two sold out shows at Sunset Strip Comedy at The Ballroom at Spider House on April 23, Jeremy Piven mentioned that he’s moving to Austin. So glad it wasn’t cancelled because of the stupid coronavirus.
He is highly likely to have had hair transplanted in his hairline to redensify the balding front region. But then, when he landed the prestigious part of Ari Gold, the vicious agent on Entourage, his hairline mysteriously changed, his hair lengthened, and his shiny forehead was no longer the center of attention. Sticking to our area of expertise, in this informative and interesting read we will be putting the Golden Globe and multiple Emmy winner Piven’s scalp under the microscope to see if he is among celebrities who had a hair transplant.
If the rumors are true, he tried to hit on Kim Kardashian while she was filming a cameo for Entourage. And Piven is even more aggressive in the wild where New York Daily News reports he's a "numbers boy" who gathers up women's phone numbers and texts them all the end of the night to see who responds back first. However, Piven's party boy reputation hasn't stopped him from having flings with celebrity beauties January Jones, Kelly Brook, and Rachel Hunter, according to the Daily Mail. Very few people can say they’ve had a career path like actress Kelly Hu’s.
LOS ANGELES -- After nearly two decades of being "that guy" in so many of our favorite movies, there are few stars whose belated success is more deserved than Emmy winner Jeremy Piven.

The hardworking actor has spent his entire life honing his craft, a family business handed down by his mother, Joyce, and his father, the late Byrne Piven, who died in 2002. His sister, actor-director-producer Shira Piven, works mainly in the theater and is married to Will Ferrell’s creative partner, Adam McKay, who directed Talladega Nights and Anchorman. Piven’s London digs are just a block away from a Selfridges location, and he says he uses the store and the surrounding areas as “bread crumbs” to connect with his character and the feeling of an American trying to find his way around town. Piven uses all his senses when creating his characters, and his searing portraits can be so real, it’s almost as if he becomes the character.
He always delivers with dedication to the craft, no matter how large or small the role may be.
