Actor Adrian Grenier's production company, Earth Speed Media, spotlights nature and sustainability

- Nick Remsen

EVEN OVER A glitchy Zoom call from suburban Austin, Texas, Adrian Grenier is unmistakable: aqua eyes, strong brows, easygoing disposition. The actor-most recognized for his starring role in the hit HBO series Entourage, as well as his turn in the film The Devil Wears Prada-decamped to the Lone Star State a few years ago, leaving Los Angeles (mostly) in the rearview mirror and stepping up his role as an advocator of environmental issues.

"I found that my previous lifestyle left me feeling disconnected," says Grenier, farmland and machinery in the background. "I was living the American dream, but I still didn't feel like I belonged." (To note, he still acts-mentioning a "few things" on the horizon-but it's not as front and center in his day-to-day.)
