After co-founder and head of Pixar John Lasseter was forced to resign from Disney because of allegations of misconduct, he was hired to run Skydance Animation and is now making films for AppleTV+. Then, in January 2018, BuzzFeed News published another story featuring stories from three more women who shared alleged incidents of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior by Piven. Despite Piven's alleged problems with womanizing and being a diva both on and off set, he can easily right his career in Hollywood with his starring role in the upcoming CBS drama Wisdom of the Crowd. Beginning in 2004, Piven achieved significant success as the fast-talking, acerbic Hollywood agent Ari Gold in the HBO series Entourage.
His first important role came in 1992 when he became a regular cast member on HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, where he played head writer Jerry. He left the show in the second season after growing tired of the role, because his character was not given much of a background. McKay's most recent film is a comedy drama, Don't Look Up, about two low level scientists trying to convince the world that a catastrophic comet is coming. Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Meryl Streep, and Cate Blanchett star in the film. It received a limited theatrical release in December 2021, before streaming on Netflix later in the month.
On top of being mocked by blogs and late night shows, his co-star Elisabeth Moss called him "unprofessional," which only added to his reputation as an on-set diva. Oddly enough, an arbitrator would rule in Piven's favor that he didn't violate his contract. But according to The New York Times, he won because producers dragged their feet on hiring their own physician to question Piven's doctor's "fishy" diagnosis. Later that month, Anastasia Taneie, who worked as an extra on Entourage, alleged that Piven "confronted her in a dark hallway and groped her breast and genitals as he forcefully pushed her against a wall". On November 27, 2017, CBS decided not to order a full season of Wisdom of the Crowd following weak ratings and allegations of sexual harassment involving Piven. On August 1, 2019, Piven appeared on a KTVU morning news segment to promote a standup comedy show he was to perform in the next night in San Francisco.
Piven honed his acting skills at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, before departing after his sophomore year to attend New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
