He’s famous for his character on the HBO show “Entourage” as Eric Murphy and his character as the oldest son Ryan Malloy in the 1990s television situation comedy “Unhappily Ever After”. Connolly’s best known part is the character Eric Murphy, better called “E”, on HBO’s show Entourage. E is the supervisor and best friend of Vincent Chase, who’s played by Adrian Grenier. As well as television work, Connolly has appeared in a number of major motion pictures including Antwone Fisher, John Q, and The Notebook. In August 2007, he signed to play a supporting character in He’s Not That Into You, that was released in 2009. Connolly has apparently been cast as jazz musician Benny Goodman in an upcoming film. The movie, set in the 1930s, will focus on certainly one of the first interracial groups of the age; Nick Cannon, Brandon Routh, and rapper Ludacris will costar. The video is for the tune “Camera Phone” from The Game’s record LAX. Connolly attended the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in La and pronounced the closing pick of the first round for the New York Islanders. He’ll reprise his role as Eric “E” Murphy for the Entourage movie; shooting begins in January 2014.
