'Entourage' Meets '24'
The special treat for me concerning last night's "Entourage" finale -- as brilliant a homecoming episode as it gets (check out Dr. LaMonica's peerless recap here) -- was seeing Louis Lombardi alive and well in the guest role as Turtle's Cousin Ronnie, who convinces Drama to make an investment in his Queens gin mill. (Cousin Ronnie had appeared previously, in a 2007 episode, nudging Turtle to make a shady investment with him.)
But I'll always remember Lombardi as the nerdy, but lovable CTU computer whiz Edgar Stiles on "24." And as you recall, poor Edgar, so beloved by viewers, was shockingly killed off in season five when he was trapped in a locked-down CTU HQ during a nerve-gas attack. No one saw that coming.
Before that he had a recurring role on "The Sopranos" playing fed agent Skip Lipari, the guy Big Pussy had been reporting to. He's also gonna be in the upcoming, much-anticipated holiday movie "The Spirit.'"
And btw, Lombardi got no props last night at least as HBO's credits go. They hyped up big-name guests like Marty Scorsese, Gus Van Sant, Mercedes Ruehl and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, but not our favorite Bronx-born character actor.
When HBO spins off Drama into his own NY-set series, I want Cousin Ronnie to be a regular!

Give please. You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Military style paintball guns. I found only this - dangerous power g3 Paintball guns. How to convert your paintball tank to a co paintball tank on the reviews page a list of reviews on which shells work best with different paintball guns. One thing I did found out was that paintball guns were called markers. :confused: Thanks in advance. Warren from Denmark.
