Jay Giannone & Friends

There's nothing like being one of the boys. For most of us, if we're lucky, we get one true best friend, a friend you can go to about any problem or count on to hit a night out on the town. Fortunately, Jay Giannone and all his boys lived an entertaining life growing up in the Old Harbor Projects of South Boston. A lifestyle that was entertaining enough to be pitched and produced into one of the most successful series on HBO, lasting eight seasons an being nominated for several awards. Though he made only a few cameos in the hit series, there's no doubt about how much of an affect Jay had on this show because not only did he have input on how it was perceived, he LIVED it.

It humbles us to have one of the men that inspired the HBO classic Entourage, a ground breaking show that we absolutely love, rocking our brand - And rocking it with class.

We had an opportunity to get on the horn with Jay and from the moment "hellos" were exchanged, you could tell right away what kind of dude we were dealing with. Jay has established himself in the Hollywood realm as an Actor, Writer, Producer and Director while maintaining an incredible level of humbleness and thankfulness. He talked about everything from getting into mischievous situations as a youngster growing up in "Southie" to proudly watching his son play little league baseball. Jay's been in show business since 1995 and has seen it all from modeling for companies like Converse and  J-Crew to touring with Mark Whalberg and the One Love Crew as a rapper.

These days, Giannone still portrays characters for TV and Movies and can most recently be seen in a movie called "The Iceman", a story about a professional contract killer as well as blockbusters like "The Departed" and "Gone Baby Gone".


There's one thing we can all take away from guys like this…
We have a lot to be thankful for in this world so work your tail off to get what you deserve and never forget your friends.
