Piven Not Missed By His Former Co-Stars
Filed under: Broadway Babies > Jeremy Piven
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Entourage douche Jeremy Piven abruptly quit the Broadway revival of Speed The Plow, apparently due to "high levels of mercury."
Shortly after, his co-stars Raul Esparza and Elizabeth Moss, decided to talk shit about Piven on stage after a show.
And, now with Norbert Leo Butz taking over Piven's role, the cast couldn't be happier about the new addition - and that the Pivert is long gone!
In a new interview, Esparza saus that Leo Butz had brought the show “a real sense of trio.”
Adding, “Jeremy didn’t need to do anything, and the audience would automatically be on his side because he is so well known."
However, he added that what Butz contributes is “a theater actor’s ability to tell a story well, to play in the ensemble."
He then said Butz is "good at being part of the three of us.”
Clearly talking about the former relationship with Jeremy Piven.
But now with Piven's departure, the ticket sales have gone down.
Esparza says, “We were talking about extending, and now it’s a matter of surviving."
Better to survive and be happy than a painful extension, we say!

Butz What a great last name. If Balsac married him his name would be Harry Butz. : )

Re: harrybalsac – LLOOLLLL……..thanks for highlighting that….i don't read the shit!
I'd still DO him.
Butz is taken his role so I guess I have give him a fist in the ass.
Re: OhNoYouDihnt – WOW! That was soooooo funny! Let me teabag you for that.
Re: BBBoricua – How could he be jealous? He is one of the greatest actors of our generation and gets a lot more respect from not only his peers but intelligent people than Piven could even dream of.
Re: Third_Conchord – Did you hear his comments after Piven left? He might be a great actor, but he was very unprofessional with his comments. A great actor can also be an asshole!
I can't stand that guy. He's good on Entourage though; gotta give props.

Bobo Belushi and Jeremy Piven take turns with the felch.
sorry but it sounds to me like they are all jealous of Jeremy's celebrity! The Piv lives Large! - unlike all of them……
i've never heard of Jeremy Piven..but then I'm english so I guess I probably wouldn't have. I LOVE NLB though, so good on him
Norbert Leo Butz is his real name, not a stage name, & you may make fun of it but he can pull it off… he is EXTREMELY talented. I used to babysit for his daughters, he lives in the same town as me (Maplewood, NJ). He was in the orginial cast of RENT and has won a Tony award for his role in Wicked. FYI
He has more talent in his finger than that douche Jeremy Piven.
