Jeremy Piven of HBO's "Entourage," has quit the Broadway revival of "Speed-the-Plow," which also stars "Mad Men's" Elisabeth Moss, due to "high mercury count." Piven has informed the producers that he hasn’t been feeling well and that the condition is attributable to a high mercury count. A skeptical David Mamet, who wrote "Speed-the-Plow," was quoted in Variety as saying that he understands Piven "is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."

A spokeswoman for the actor said he wanted to continue in the role but that doctors advised him he should end his run immediately.

Sounds like he didn't want to do the show and looked for an excuse. Oh well I guess.
