Many TV viewers will remember Rhys Coiro as temperamental film director Billy Walsh in HBO’s hit series Entourage (as well as the newly released Entourage movie). Now, Rhys can be seen Monday nights on HISTORY’s 10-hour hit mini-series, Texas Rising, which chronicles the rise of the Texas Rangers and their fight for an independent Texas.
