What is Doug Ellin’s career?
Ellin began his career in 1993 with the short films “The Waiter” and “The Pitch,” which he wrote and directed. The latter was funded by producer Mike DeLuca and stars David Schwimmer prior to his “Friends” stardom. Ellin’s feature film directorial debut, “Phat Beach,” was released in 1996. It is a hip-hop comedic beach film starring Jermaine ‘Huggy’ Hopkins, Brian Hooks, Gregg Vance, Claudia Kaleem, and Coolio.
Ellin’s next film, the 1998 romantic comedy “Kissing a Fool,” reunited him with David Schwimmer. The film also features Jason Lee, Mili Avital, and Bonnie Hunt. Ellin then sold several of his screenplays to Miramax, including “The Pledge,” which was never produced. Later, from 2002 to 2004, he worked as a staff writer for the ABC sitcom “Life with Bonnie,” which starred Bonnie Hunt.
Ellin rose to prominence in 2004 when he produced the HBO television series “Entourage.” The series follows the acting careers of budding movie star Vincent Chase and his boyhood buddies from Queens as they establish themselves in Los Angeles. It stars Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jeremy Piven, Jerry Ferrara, and Debi Mazar.
“Entourage” was a huge success, airing for eight seasons until 2011. Ellin was the show’s head writer and also directed and appeared in a few episodes. He went on to develop and direct the big-screen adaptation of “Entourage,” with the show’s main cast reprising their roles. The film debuted in 2015 and was a critical and commercial failure.
Ellin also serves on the board of the Greenwich International Film Festival. He also co-hosts a comedy podcast called “Victory!” with “Entourage” star Kevin Dillon, where the two engage in in-depth discussions of each episode and share behind-the-scenes stories.
