Before They Were TV Stars: Jeremy Piven

One of the funniest scenes in Say Anything is
where Lloyd Dobler, played by John Cusack, tries to get love advice from the guys that hang out behind the Gas 'n' Sip.
He's all broken up over his split with Diane, and thinks that maybe he should be just one of those guys who drink beer
out of a bag and rip on women. After the four guys tell Lloyd that women suck and they're hypocrites, blahblahblah, Lloyd just looks at them in pity and says: "I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?" Their answer? "By choice, man. Yeah, by choice!"
What I didn't remember about the scene, at least until I saw the movie on AMC today, was that one of the four Gas 'n' Sip guys was Jeremy Piven, star of HBO's Entourage as well other less successful TV series over the years (remember Cupid?). IMDb lists the character as "Mark," and it was the fourth movie role of what became a pretty extensive career. Interesting, huh? That tears it; I'm gonna work from home from now on.
Piven, by the way, also has a great line in that scene, which I'll give you below, courtesy of IMDb:
"Your only mistake is that you didn't dump her first. Diane Court is a show pony. You need a stallion, my friend. Walk with us and you walk tall."
