Actor Mark Wahlberg will make a cameo appearance in the new Entourage film. The 41-year-old has served as executive producer on the HBO TV show, about a young actor and his friends living the high life in Hollywood. He has now confirmed he will appear in the film version of the show, which is due for release next year, reports contactmusic.com.

Wahlberg also made cameo appearances in the TV show, which ran for eight seasons between 2004 and 2011, and featured Adrien Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven.

"Vince (Adrien) is an actor, so there's definitely a movie in there. Johnny Drama (Kevin) will be trying to get a job, not much has changed but we do want to get back to the guys being together again," he said when asked about the story plot.

"They were all involved in very heavy relationships with strong female characters and we want to see the guys being the guys again," he added.
