I was studying Samaire Armstrong's IMDB page when I saw that she played "Emily" on several episodes of the HBO comedy "Entourage." Why is that significant? Well, as fans of the long-running podcast "Sex With Emily" will recognize, a clip from "Entourage" helps open every episode of that show. In it, Adrian Grenier, as actor Vincent Chase, calls out to Samaire's character by saying, "Hey, Emily! ... Read more
