Vince's next project is decided halfway through the season: Queens
Boulevard. Signed on is indie director Billy Walsh, who comes into
immediate conflict with E. Eventually their differences are put aside
and the season ends with the start of production on Queens Boulevard,
with E formally becoming Vince's manager.

Trivia
Ari Gold's clients that turn up in the show (Vin Diesel, Larry David) are in real life Ari Emanuel's clients.
Ari Gold's "Let's hug it out, bitch" was ranked #6 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 20 Top Catchphrases" (21-27 August 2005 issue).
In the series Vince was at one point attached to star as Pablo Escobar in Medellin but ultimately loses the role to Benicio Del Toro; in reality, Del Toro was at one point slated to star in the film version of Mark Bowden's Killing Pablo.
Whenever a boxing match is shown on TV, it is the exact same fight. Jerry Ferrara has commented, "I have that fight memorized."
Ari talks to someone over the phone at least once every episode (with the notable exception of "Entourage: Welcome to the Jungle (#4.1)" (2007).
The apartment building used as Drama's home in season four is, in real life, home to Ron Jeremy. On filming days, Jeremy would visit the set, a few floors down and many times fell asleep in video village.
There is a conflict between Vince's best friend "E" and his agent Ari, who are both working to get the best for Vince, but often differ on how to accomplish this.
