Entourage's Rex Lee Puts on Shades

Thanks to his hilarious role as assistant to Jeremy Piven's blowhard Hollywood agent on Entourage, Rex Lee joins Alec Mapa in the all-too-small ranks of openly gay Asian actors on TV.

And lucky for both Lee and his fans, his HBO exposure is opening the doors to other gigs.

Lee will soon be seen in writer-director Jaffar Mahmood's romantic comedy Shades of Ray, slated to hit theaters before the end of the year.

In a recent interview, Lee put a very fine point on the nature of his role, noting that he plays "the main co-worker of the main love interest of the main sidekick to the main male protagonist."

Kathy Baker and Sarah Shahi (who played Carmen on The L Word) co-star.
