Beavercreek grad punked by Jeremy Piven on ‘Tonight Show’
Beavercreek High School grad Eric Rough kept his cool even after an “irate” Hollywood star doused him in the face with water.
A page at NBC in Los Angeles, Rough was punked by actor Jeremy Piven during a recent episode of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
Piven, who once got mercury poising from fish, pretended to explode on discovering sushi in his dressing room.
He accused Rough of being the person responsible. At one point Piven called Rough, a 2008 Miami University grad, Opie Taylor. Rough kept his cool even after Piven throw water in his face.
“You’re awesome,” Piven said after the situation’s true nature was revealed.
He invited Rough to visit him on the set of “Entourage”, saying he could even join him on camera.
“But don’t out act me because you will be punished,” Piven said.
The clip of the confrontation also appeared on “The View.”
Reached by phone, Rough, 24, called the whole thing surreal.
Everyone was in on the joke except him it seemed.
“I am finding more and more people who knew about it,” he said, noting that its been a wild ride. “It was a great experience once the (prank was revealed). I like to enjoy a good prank as much as the next person.”
He said he doesn’t know if he actually land on “Entourage”, one of his favorite shows.

Is federal tanning tax fair?
Achieving that golden glow just got 10 percent more expensive.
The controversial 10 percent tax on recipients of tanning services takes effect today, Thursday, July 1.
Federal officials say the initiative is expected to raise $2.7 billion in ten years to help pay for the $940 billion health care overhaul.
Tanning salon owners have another opinion.
The Indoor Tanning Association says it will “unfairly hit working women and college students who comprise the majority of indoor tanning consumers.”
Officials say tanning salon use has been linked to the deadliest form of skin cancer.
“People should avoid tanning bed, period end of sentence,” said Peter Osborne, a spokesman for the American Cancer Society of Northwest and Southwest Ohio.
What do you think? Is the tax on tanning fair or foul?
