Michael Rapaport Will Turn "40" for HBO

Michael Rapaport Will Turn "40" for HBO

This is the final season for Entourage, but that doesn't mean male friendship and angst won't have a place on HBO. The network is going forward with the Edward Burns and Doug Ellin co-production of 40, about a group of middle-aged male friends, and the potential series has just added a new name to its cast: Michael Rapaport, come on down!

Rapaport will join Burns in the cast as an outgoing-but-neurotic husband. An "everyman," per Deadline. Burns will play a husband and father, but one who lost his job at Bear Sterns and has been unemployed for a year. So, not really the wishful fulfillment of Entourage, but hey: more like real life!
