Kevin Connolly Directing in Entourage Season 8

It’s Entourage‘s last season everyone. The show comes to end Sept. 11 with its series finale. But the week before is what I’m really concerned about right now. The next-to-last episode of the series will be directed by Kevin Connolly according to TV Guide. For the second time in the series, Connolly will be doubling his work load, acting as Eric ‘E’ Murphy and stepping behind the camera. The first time he did this was the Season 7 episode “Porn Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, which was also the episode before the finale.

Not only is Connolly no stranger to directing Entourage, but he’s no stranger to directing in general.

He also directed the 2007 film Gardener of Eden and six episodes of the WB sitcom Unhappily Ever After, which he co-starred on from 1995 to 1999.

I’ve mentioned before that I love it when actors direct their own shows. They usually turn out to be surprisingly good, but with Connolly it goes without saying. This isn’t his first time directing and it won’t be his last so there’s no need to worry about what kind of job he’ll do. I’m just stoked for him because it’s such a huge honor to be given the second-last episode of your show to direct. That’s a big deal and I’m sure Connolly is very excited and proud of the opportunity.

Entourage kicks off it’s final season July 24 and you won’t want to miss it. Keep an eye out for plenty of celebrity guest stars including Andrew Dice Clay and Johnny Galecki.
