Lloyd

LLoyd is Ari's former assistant. He recently quit the Miller-Gold agency to work as an agent for a competitor. Ari kept promising to promote Lloyd, but always fell back on his promise. Lloyd got sick of waiting and was offered a better deal by Adam, Ari's agent enemy. I love that Lloyd is getting more responsibility and his career is taking off. It will be great for the show because there will be a lot of competition and awkward moments between Lloyd and Ari.

Everyone knows that Lloyd got endlessly teased by Ari for being a flamboyant gay man, and I don't blame him for seeking a more professional atmosphere. Of course the taunting was done in love as a joke and it made for some of the funniest comments on the show, however it was very disrespectful.

I think it is important to have diverse roles on television because then it reflects life in a more realistic way. This includes gay characters, but I'm getting sick of the repetitive cliches, even on Entourage. I think that for America to be more accepting of gays they need to be reflected as normal people that don't perpetuate stereotypes.

Lloyd is my favorite character on the show right now and I love him for his loud clothing, endless wining, and prissy walk because it is funny, but I want to see a deeper side of Lloyd. I think this opportunity for him to be his own agent and exert more power and control in his life will help us to do that.
