POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Entourage creator Doug Ellin has strongly criticized a recent commercial for the betting app Betr, which features two of the show’s original stars, Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier.

The ad, which marks the first time Piven and Grenier have appeared together since the 2015 film, showcases the actors in a scenario reminiscent of their roles on the long-running HBO series. However, they are not reprising their characters, leading to backlash from Ellin, who called the ad ‘trash and theft.’
