Jeremy Piven: Emmy-Winning...Pool Boy?

Jeremy Piven Tim Ogier / ABC

Zac Efron just finished filming a guest spot on Entourage, so it would only make sense for someone like Chace Crawford to be next in line…right?

Not if the hit HBO show's star Jeremy Piven has anything to do with it! The Piv has someone completely different in mind...

"I'd like to do a scene with Dustin Hoffman where I represent him and he's my client, and I'm really trying to get him to do a big movie that he'd never do," Piven told us at Xbox 360's EA Sports Madden NFL 10 launch party in Santa Monica. "That'd be like a dream come true."

Piven and Hoffman have actually already worked together in the 2003 big-screen adaptation of John Grisham's thriller The Runaway Jury. Even so, Piven jokes that the acting legend probably doesn't even know he's an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor.

"I'm friends with his son," he said, "so I think that Dustin thinks I'm like the pool boy."

P.S. Yeah, we want to know how he feels about not snagging an Emmy nod this year, too. However, his handlers warned, Mr. Piven would not be answering questions about the snub.
