'Orange is the New Black' Season 3 Release: Pablo Schreiber Unsure If He's Returning As Pornstache, 'Series Regular' On Another Show [VIDEO]
One of the most loved/hated characters on Orange is the New Black may not be coming back from most of Season 3, if at all.

Pablo Schreiber, who plays the often despicable George Mendez, a.k.a. "Pornstache" in Orange is the New Black recently suggested that he would not be appearing in Season 3 as much as some fans would like.

"I'm a series regular now on a show called The Brink on HBO, Schreiber explained to Vulture in a Friday report. "But his mother is making an appearance on season three. Mary Steenburgen has been cast as my mom. I'm not sure what she'll do that will advance the Pornstache plot line, but for now, Mendez is in prison, biding his time. Spoiler alert!"

Vulture suggested that Steenburgen's part as Pornstache's mother could have something to do with her trying to gain custody of Daya's (Dascha Polanco) baby, who she believes was fathered by her son.
Schreiber speculated on what type of dad Pornstache would be if he had a family.
"Pornstache would make an amazing dad," he said. "He'd be a doting father. I think he's very interested in legacy, like he wants to make as many mini-Pornstaches as he can. Get all kinds of people out there just transforming the U.S. justice system in as many ways as possible."
He said that Pornstache would probably want between six and eight kids, and all boys at that.
It is unknown how involved Pornstache's mother will be in the third season, though it is always possible that she could go to prison like most of the characters on the show.
Orange is the New Black is streaming Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix. Season 3 does not have a scheduled release date at this time.
