Description

Check Out: http://realfakeseal.com/ Real Fake Seal is back as AJ Buckley sits down with Entourage creator Doug Ellin for a raw, no-BS ride. Doug jumps from New York roots to discovering Nashville is not a hick town, talking pickleball, fatherhood at 55, and the LA break-in caught on Ring that finally pushed him out of California. He cracks open doing standup, a $10K short that sold to Showtime, almost directing The Parent Trap, AFI, Fat Beach, bombing at the box office, the Curb spec that birthed Entourage, HBO hating his first pilot, grinding through 20+ drafts, casting Dillon, Piven and AJ’s “yo dog” role, and how COVID and the strikes crushed crews while execs stayed rich.
