Michael Phelps On "Entourage" (VIDEO)

Blink and you'd miss it!

Olympic hero Michael Phelps filmed a cameo for HBO's "Entourage" in August, and it finally aired on Sunday night's season finale.

Shot on the streets of New York City, the scene features Eric (Kevin Connolly) on the phone having an argument with Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Eric bumps into someone, who then turns around and is revealed as the swimmer.

Phelps even gets in a line: "Yo! Watch out man. What's up?"

This cameo is why Entourage is so great. I swear that this is a documentary, their story lines seem so real.

Never seen this show. Looks pretty stupid. Gay even... That Michael Phillips, he's got talent though, real acting talent. Pretty homely mug though. Oh well, gotta go. 'Sup Arianna!

Bite your tongue. You are sadly mistaken my friend this is quite possibly the greatest show ever made next to arrested development.

[Zenith1959]

Been hooked on this show since it started, but must admit didn't recognize him in the cameo. Good to know the show is coming back, looked it could possibly be the end, HBO has a way of letting go of good shows like Deadwood and Carnival.

don't forget "the Wire"

Great little gag. If you blinked you missed it. Love this show.

[tchristin]

Love the show and could care less about the obscenities. It gives the character life.

I supposed I'll be banned from posting, now that I've pointed out Huffington Post's apparent hypocrisy when it comes to language use. And when they ban a poster, they remove all traces of his/her posts, so that no one may read anything ever written by the person.

Talk about Siberia!

[Internaut]

Told ya! It triggered the powers that be.

If I'm right, repeating these words from this very article will trigger the censor. By the way, many bloggers use obscenities in their articles. If we can't use them, then neither can they. Mom!!

He's a nice young man, give him a chance.

Even Nell preferred Horse to Dudly Do-Right.

Who cares about Phelps? I want more Entourage and sooner than next summer. What a drag we have to wait so long. One of the best shows on TV. The best thing Marky Mark ever did. J.Piven is hysterical.

[realitycheck7]

i agree

they should have done 12 more episodes for this season since we had to wait so long from the last one

it's not like doug elin does not have them all read to go

Michael Phelps is quickly turning into a JERK. Ask some of the women he and his friends have been dumping cold buckets of ice onto at bars around the country.

Too bad that someone who made their name by ignoring bullies as a child and rising above his circumstances, has now turned into a bully himself.

Having said that last night's Entourage episode was, by far, one of the best ever.

[ChefDC]

and i thought he made his name because of the olympics.

[tonewheel]

He's inarticulate, unattractive, goofy looking...and never generated the same amount of buzz that Mark Spitz did.

Wonder why you haven't seen more of him post-Olympics?

[entfan]

this was an unplanned cameo- Michael Phelps was in the area and they ran into him... this is why his cameo was so small- he was in between gigs.

It was an unplanned cameo- they ran into Michael Phelps on the street and decided to put him in in the last minute. This is why his "bit" was so small. Phelps was in between gigs.

THEE most incredibly boorish and boring dolt "celebrity" ever to endorse products.

Have you seen the TV spot for Rosetta Stone? Yeah, he learned how to speak Chinese SOOOO good, he doesn't speak it in the spot. Barely speaks English.

$50 million worth of en-dork-ments!

Fish out of water.

Phelps is so tall, he was easily recognizable in the couple of seconds he was on-screen.

Great season finale for Entourage. Ditto for True Blood. I hate having to now wait months for new episodes of both shows but, thankfully, it's nowhere near as bad as the down-time taken between seasons of The Sopranos.
