No offense,Jason Momoa, but Vincent Chase will always be my Aquaman.
Oh, you dont recall James Camerons record-breaking blockbuster starring Chase and Mandy Moore?
Well, sounds like someone didnt watchEntourage!

Vince initially wanted nothing to do with the superhero world until James Cameron came aboard as director.
(The filmmaker played himself in multiple episodes.)
The storyline continued throughout the season, with Moore cameoing as the films female lead/Vinces former flame.
I was like, Well, youve got to go get him.
Like, it doesnt work unless hes directing it, because this movie would never get made.
But then its James CameronsAquaman.
So that was the big thing that gave us the small storylines that we could shift around.
You touched on this, but why Aquaman specifically?
The character seemed to always be the butt of the joke, maybe even still is.
Im not a big comic book or superhero person, but it just seemed very silly.
One of my favorite things is that at the end of the season, he wrote me a letter.
But it was very cool to have Cameron to do that.
What were you thinking when you saw these come out after you had imagined them?I love it.
I have no idea if that is accurate.
But I loved it.
It looks pretty cool.
So you actually had Aquaman andWonder Womantogether first, too!
Had that dawned on you?Ive thought about it lately.
Its been wild to see, like, the actors who we found go on to whatever.
And we hadStan Leeon the show.
Each time these movies come out, I keep going, Wow, they just keep making good ones.
I dont think anyone could have anticipated this 10 years ago, except maybe the Marvel people.
What was your first thought when you heard Warner Bros. was doing anAquamanmovie?
And Im like, No, Im not.
And he literally writes, Why not?
I thought it was funny and cool.
I dont think for a second that we inspired it.
Ive pictured Vince/Adrian as Aquaman for so long that seeing Jason Momoa as the character throws me off.
I would say they are far from being similar actors or having similar builds.
That was really the simplest thing about it.
It was all just for fun, and its amazing to see.
Im looking forward to seeing it, I think its going to work.
That was my next question: Do you plan on seeing it?Oh yeah.
Ill take my son to go check it out.
He was like, And at the box office,AquamanpassesSpider-Man, but he did it dead-seriously on CNBC.
Speaking ofEntourageand movies, after ending the series, you made theEntouragemovie in 2015.
In the back of you head, are you still thinking it would be cool to do more?
But no, I think it was the end of it.
I was surprised about the movie; I never thought the movie was going to get made.
We had a good run.
