Jeffrey Tambor, aka Arrested Development's beloved George Bluth, is the latest star to sign up for a guest stint on the HBO comedy Entourage. Tambor joins Sopranos star Jaime-Lynn Sigler and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester on the guest star roster for Entourage's fifth season, premiering in September.
While both Sigler and Meester are set to play possible love interests for everyone's favorite semi-successful actor Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier), Tambor will be throwing a wrench into their plans for love when Vince suddenly discovers his propensity for older bald dudes. Okay, that's not true at all. Fact is, there's no word on what role Tambor will be playing, or if he'll be playing himself. Regardless, it's Jeffrey Tambor, so it will be awesome.
Since producers probably won't use my love interest idea (although I am totally copyrighting that right now, just in case) what are your opinions on Tambor's role? Should he be a studio exec? Mentor? Rival for Jaime-Lynn Sigler's affection? Post your thoughts in the comments below.

He should reprise his role as Hank Kingsley from 'The Larry Sanders Show'. Hank's probably been struggling since we last saw him teamed up with Larry, so I think it would be believable to see the former talk show sidekick try to latch on to Vince as a way back up for himself.
Hey now!

Whoever he plays,, he's got to play them like a man and not like some mincing little Polly or Nellie! I get those names confused. Apologies.
Apologies all round.

I think he should do some coaching with Vince on how to play several different characters throughout one show's series (Three's Company) - because of Vince's impending launch into TV.
Seriously, maybe he'll be on Drama's show and his new buddy!

E News just announced Jeffrey Tambor will be playing himself. A new client for Ari Gold perhaps?
