**Post contains minor spoilers about this season's Entourage
For the rest, it appears that Hollywood producer Bob Evans is angry at what he claims is a caricature of him on this season, played by Martin Landau.
"Entourage" producers approached Evans months ago to play himself on the series. Evans declined but allowed them to use his home for filming. When the episodes aired these past two weeks, the "Kid Stays in the Picture" writer was angry to discover that they'd made his character into a bumbling, addled mockery of himself.Sounds like it really is supposed to be him if they filmed in his house and even asked him to be in it. Maybe they could give the real Bob something to relax. "Hey Bob, here's a check for $5,000 to stop threatening to sue us. Is that something you might be interested in?"
"They named the character 'Bob' and made him an old, loopy producer," said a source. And the final insult is, "They even used Evans' own house in the show!" The Bob Ryan character, portrayed as a washed-up Hollywood joke, wants to make a film about the Ramones with Adrian Grenier's character, Vince.
An HBO rep said yesterday, "Bob Ryan was not based on Robert Evans."
The real Evans, a former actor and studio exec, has been a Hollywood player since the 1950s. He has enjoyed seven (sometimes very brief) marriages to women including Ali MacGraw, Catherine Oxenberg and Phyllis George.
