The second episode in the new season of HBO's Entourage, set to air this Sunday, will prove to be its gayest yet. As Rex Lee, who plays Lloyd, told me Friday morning, "I don't want to give away too much, but Ari asks Lloyd to, uh, go the extra mile in terms of helping him sign a gay writer." Ari is always asking Lloyd to go above and beyond the call of duty for his clients and his business. In turn, it is the lovable Lloyd who keeps Ari moral and checks his ego. As yet, we have not seen anything about Lloyd's personal life—though he shocked Ari by revealing that he is a top—and just how much we will see in future episodes remains unclear. But let's not forget that the real relationship here is between Lloyd and Ari.
Rex Lee has emerged as one of the show's most popular characters, and is certainly among the most prominent gay Asian characters in television history. He appeared on the cover of Thursday's Los Angeles Times Calendar section with an article titled "Memoirs of a Gaysian." "It's probably not a term I would use to describe myself," says Lee, "but whenever anyone else does it makes sense I guess."
