Adrian Grenier Solves Mystery, Makes Documentary

grenier.JPGAnyone who isn't living under a rock has heard of Adrian Grenier. He's the "it" boy on "Entourage," and everyone wants to be his friend.

Unfortunately, the one man anyone wants in their life has been absent from Grenier's for the last 18 years. His estranged father has always proved a mystery, so Grenier decided to do something about it.

What emerged from a seven-year search is the documentary "Shot in the Dark" about Grenier's search for a man he hardly knew. With friend Jon Davidson by his side and hardly any money in his bank account, he tracked his dad down.

The film made its debut at Toronto this week, and Grenier is proud of the project and happy to share. From the Reuters report:

I'm sort of a vehicle for a story. I think I am really a humble servant because I allowed myself to be vulnerable so that people might feel more comfortable or might discover things about their own history and family

18 years of absence didn't disappear when Grenier finally did find his father, but the two have started to forge a relationship. The film will air on HBO in June 2007, appropriately around Father's Day.

Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.

Lady 1: What's that?
Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.
Lady 1: Where did you get it?
Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.

Lady 1: It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel.
