Jerry Ferrara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerry Ferrara (Born November 25, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor. Ferrara is probably most well known for his work as Turtle on the HBO comedy series, Entourage which revolves around a rich young actor and his friends. Brooklyn bred through and through, in an interview about his breakout role on the show, Ferrara said that he told his friends he had scored a pilot and they asked, "What's that?"

Ferrara's character is Turtle, the entourage's unofficial driver and resident 'go-to guy' who smokes too much marijuana and gets with girls simply because he is associated with movie star friend Vincent Chase (main character, played by Adrian Grenier). Through Entourage's three season history, Turtle has gained substantial substance and storyline attention as a character. He briefly managed rapper Saigon in Seasons 2 and 3.

Prior to Entourage, Ferrara co-starred in the movie Cross Bronx as Vivo. He has also guest starred on NYPD Blue, Grounded for Life and The King of Queens.
