Ben Silverman is the executive producer of such hits as NBC's The Office (B.J. Novak's career-climbing Ryan is supposedly based on Silverman) and ABC's Ugly Betty. Now the co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and NBC Universal Television Studio (though he doesn't care whether they fire him or not, thankyouverymuch) will have a part in HBO's Entourage, albeit in front of the camera. No word yet on whether Silverman will be playing himself on the show's fifth season, though the friend of Ryan Seacrest has been known for his party-boy antics (most notably documented in the 2007 Esquire piece), which would make him a perfect foil for the uptight E and Ari. But, the best evidence yet that Silverman will fit right in with the boys? That he's importing the Spanish-language soap opera that translates literally as Without Breasts There is No Paradise. It's like he is Vincent Chase.
