"Guys, I think the weird timeline is on purpose. Saying he knew 5 months ago achieves these goals:
- it makes him seem like a martyr for even starting the show in the first place. Broadway was his "dream", he claims he slept all day and conserved all his energy for the show. The fact that he had to drop out after 3 months is well, he's a martyr but not superman. - however, because he's had time to deal with his illness and stopped eating fish 5 months ago, he should be well enough to go back to Entourage next month, 6 months after the initial diagnosis."
loss of memory (ie lines and direction?) loss of balance ( not knowing where/how to move ) Lights were too bright (?looking directly into them) and couldn't get enough oxygen ( hyperventilation) sounds suspiciously like a panic attack due to stage fright or even the realization of what he has taken on and the realization that he can't manage it.
Seriously, I worked on ashow w him & John Cusack and Cusack was a doll. Piven on the other hand came off as bitter & unpleasant and VERY self centred and SO hungry for recognition .
since it was "clever" -- I'd take a gander! Take a photo next time please!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

The poster is the standard advertisement the show has been using for its up-coming season... all 5 guys sitting at a table smiling (but not making any eye-contact) with tumblers of booze in front of them. Piven looks like he is ready to order...
The graffiti reads:
SUSHI?
scrawled across Pivens forehead... on all 3 posters spanning the length of the subway.
