Kevin Connolly is best known for his starring role on the HBO hit series Entourage, which is now into its sixth season. The seventh and final season will premiere in June 2011, and following that, Connolly is preparing to produce a sketch comedy pilot for Fox entitled Inside Jokes.
His first big break was when he was cast as Ryan, part of the always struggling and challenged Malloy family in the comedy series Unhappily Ever After. Prior to that, he appeared in numerous episodic television shows and TV movies, among them recurring roles on First Years and Great Scott, guest-starring appearances on Wings and ER, and roles in the movies-of-the-week Kids Killing Kids and Up, Up and Away.
On the big screen, he starred in He's Just Not That Into You (2009) alongside Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long and Bradley Cooper. He also shot a cameo in Katherine Heigl's film The Ugly Truth and was seen in The Notebook with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Additional feature film credits include The Beverly Hillbillies, John Q opposite Denzel Washington, Antwone Fisher directed by Washington, and Rocky V with Sylvester Stallone.
Connolly made his directorial debut with the 2003 short ââ¬ÅWhatever We Do starring Robert Downey Jr., Amanda Peet and Zooey Deschanel, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. He followed that up with the indie feature Gardener of Eden, which was produced by his good friend Leonardo DiCaprio and premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. He'll soon direct the comedy Adrenaline, about a buttoned-up corporate boss who gets sucked into his crazy assistant's scheme of seducing women by staging heroic acts.
