'That was one of the movies that just came together effortlessly,' he told The Morning Show when asked to describe his experiences filming the box office smash.
Unfortunately in the years since Entourage wrapped, Adrian has struggled to land many big Hollywood roles.
His most recent on-screen appearance was in Stage Mother, a 2020 Canadian film about drag culture, and the 2019 Hallmark film Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holiday.

He is currently in Melbourne filming Clickbait, a Netflix mini-series that will feature a collection of stories exploring how people's uncontrolled impulses are fuelled in the age of social media.
Speaking to Page Six in 2015, Adrian admitted he was struggling to score bigger acting gigs because he'd been typecast by his role in Entourage.
'It's funny because what people don't know is I too wish that I was Vince', he said.
'I'm not, I play the character. At the end of the day, I go home and I'm me. I share that fantasy as well — have a lifestyle with no consequences? Sounds great!'
