Bryan Greenberg shoots scenes for “How To Make It In America” in New York City, New York on October 26, 2009.  This show may actually get a chance with HBO, unlike basic television. I hate it when I get into a show – only to turn around and have it cancelled because it doesn’t get the ratings the big execs are looking for.  How can a show build up an audience if you give it less than a year to try!! Isn’t that frustrating!?

HBO is going to show us How to Make It in America with a new comedy pilot. Courtesy of Mark Wahlberg’s production company, Closest to the Hole (also responsible for Entourage, In Treatment and the forthcoming Boardwalk Empire), writer Ian Edelman will reveal how to achieve the American dream through three 20-something New Yorkers. According to the Hollywood Reporter, HBO-based producer Rob Weiss of Entourage has also signed on to offer insights from his experiences as a student at the Parsons School for Design.

“This show is a fun ride through the downtown scene, examining the cross section of people and how they relate to the relevant subcultures in NYC,” Mr. Weiss, who is executive producing the pilot , told the Hollywood Reporter.

I first fell in love with Bryan when he played Uma Thurman’s young lover in Prime (he was the only thing that made the movie worth watching!), then went on to star in the short lived (but much loved, sniff, sniff) ABC drama October Road.  You may recognize him from One Tree Hill, I’ve just never seen the show.
