'Ray Donovan' Season 2 News: 'Remember the Titans' Alum Kip Pardue Joins Cast As A Menacing Character for Ray?
Remember the Titans alum Kip Pardue will join the cast of Ray Donovan as Hank Azaria's subordinate in Season 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Showtime Accused of Stealing Idea for Hit Series?
Pardue will play the part of Volchek, who is an FBI agent working under the chief of the Los Angeles division, James Cochran. Hank Azaria will portray Cochran. Both Purdue and Azaria will have recurring roles throughout the season. It was previously reported that Azaria's character will cause problems for Ray (Liev Schrieber) on the show, and it seems like the addition of Pardue will spell double trouble for the fixer.
Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks) will be guest-starring as Azaria's wife on the series.
There are a whole bunch of other guest stars joining season 2, but not all of them will complicate affairs for Ray.
Recently it was announced that The Wire's Wendell Pierce will also be coming on board as Mr. Keith, a parole officer on the show. Though Pierce's character's circumstances will be pretty abysmal, and instead of posing a threat to Ray, he will be actually taking some help from him.
Vinessa Shaw is also joining the cast as a Pulitzer award-winning Boston Globe journalist who is working on a book about Sully (James Woods) and the circumstances surrounding his death. Shaw's character might create trouble for Ray as she digs deeper while investigating.
Recently some footage and images from filming of season 2 in Los Angeles were revealed. In the images, Schrieber is seen wearing a steely expression escorting an actress who is bleeding from a gun wound to her arm. Dressed in a dark jacket and a pair of crisp jeans, Schrieber's grey shirt is smeared with blood, as he holds on to a bloodied towel. In character, he is seen wielding a hand gun and shooting at the unseen assailant.
The show is expected to return with the next season sometime during the summer.
Ray Donovan airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
