I can't confirm this because i haven't seen the source. I jacked it from another board. I did read something from Sai about how HBO was talking to him about doing some stuff with them so my guess is that its true. Anyway:
According to sources, rapper, Saigon is expected to play a major role in HBO's hit show, Entourage. For those who are fans of the show and/or Saigon, the artist is expected to have done at least one exclusive song for the fictitious "Queens Boulavard" movie. The role he plays is still speculative, but sources say that one of the shows many stars, Turtle, gets Saigon to do the soundtrack and becomes his manager. Expect for other celebrity cameos, including Bono from U2.
Yep, it's true. Somebody from Sai's entourage told me he already filmed the episodes. He will probably be featured on the 5 last episodes, but this still has to be confirmed...

Its safe to say at the very least this episode will feature Sai.
Heres some casting call info from this episode. They were looking for someone to play Sai's mom:
-Mrs. Saigon - African American Female 30-45. The mother, aunt or sister of a rap artist who is being sought after by many to try and break his career. She (Mrs. Saigon) is very protective of her boy. Her personality is a cross between Mo'nique, from the Parkers and Soul Plane and Angela Bassett from Boyz N' the Hood. Funny, sassy, and smart while looking out for her loved one. (Guest Star)
‘Entourage’ to use “Let A Nigga Know”… The HBO show, ‘Entourage’ have requested clearance of the song “Let A Nigga Know” (Brian Carenard /Marc Shemer) for their upcoming series. “Let A Nigga Know” is performed by Saigon, and administered by us o/b/o Scram Jones Music (Ascap).

SAIGON TO APPEAR ON HBO'S ENTOURAGE Saigon, one of hip-hop's most talked about new artists, adds another notch on his list of notable accomplishments with an appearance on HBO's uber popular new series Entourage. The show which is said to be a hit along the lines of other popular HBO series like THE SOPRANOS and SEX AND THE CITY, depicts the life of "Vince," the newest "it" actor in Hollywood and his 3 friends from back home in Queens who are along for the ride.
In addition to being featured in three episodes, 5 of the incredible new MC turned actor's songs were used in making the show as well, including the certified street-banger "Come Again," and "Letter P" remix by Just Blaze and even his remix to Nas' "War" which he will perform on season finale on September 4.
Saigon, poised to be hip-hop's next icon, is no stranger to the TV as the artist who's debut album is touted as one of the years most anticipated by XXL magazine was recently featured on MTV's You Hear It First. Meanwhile, Saigon is hard at work on his soon to be classic debut album, THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD executive-produced by Just Blaze, set for release on Fort Knocks/Atlantic Records.
