Supporting Cast of Fish and Bird – Ray Donovan

Here are some of the actors who appeared in “Fish and Bird” (7-31-2016), Episode 6 of Ray Donovan’s Season 4. The episode recap is here.

Alisa Vilena as Lilya in Ray Donovan

Lilya gives Ray Donovan a try at Cat’s Cradle

Alisa Vilena played Lilya, the young Russian girl who was playing Cat’s Cradle and watching “Two and a Half Men,” when she was not being exploited and abused by Vlad and, ultimately, Ivan Belikov (Pasha D. Lychnikoff). The latter killed her and cavalierly told Ray that every life has a story, “hers was short.” Belikov’s remaining time on earth was short, too. It ended not long after he said that.

We’ve seen theories that Ray killed Belikov because he was so outraged that the Russian killed the young girl that he felt bad for. But we think that Ray did it because he knew Belikov was going to kill him.

Liev Schrieber and Embeth Davidtz in Ray Donovan

Ray goes to the charity auction with Sonia Kovitsky

If there is one thing we are tired of in this series, it’s “poor conflicted Ray.” Ray gave Sonia (Embeth Davitz) the straight scoop on what she really is: a pimp and a drug dealer, despite her hotsy totsy jet setter life and privileged global upbringing at a Swiss boarding school, then Stanford. Somebody ought to give Ray the straight scoop on what he is. Conor has his number. He’s a gangster.

Mark Edward Smith as Dr. Witlin in Ray Donovan

Dr. Witlin introduces himself to Ray Donovan.

Mark Edward Smith played Dr. Harris Witlin. Chief of Oncology at the Barkley Breast Cancer Center. Sonia has terminal breast cancer and he is her oncologist. After being involved in the charity auction where Stu Feldman ended up with a fake painting he paid $2.7 million for and knowing that Witlin got half the proceeds of that, perhaps Ray has enough ammo to get Dr. Witlin to treat Abby. Ray’s a blackmailer, too.

Josh Pais and Devonric Johnson in Ray Donovan

Ray met the Black Python when he delivered the Kovacs forgery to Stu

Josh Pais (Stu Feldman) and Ambyr Childers (Ashley) returned as husband and wife in this episode. Josh is as over-the-top as he ever was. Ashley is a shallow as ever. Funny that the last time we saw Josh, he was involved in making a porn film starring Lexi Steele. In this episode, aside from the charity auction, he was making a porn film starring his wife Ashley and Prince Johnson, the Black Python (Devonric Johnson).

Ashley’s back and she’s Mrs. Feldman now

The last time we saw Ashley was in the Season 2 finale, when Ray rescued her from Steve Knight (Eion Bailey). The last time we saw Ambyr was in the premiere of NBC’s “Aquarius” last May when she was playing one of Charlie Manson’s girls.

Here is Tom Waits’ “Fish and Bird,” the song that Bridget was singing after the baptism while her brother was trying to impress Damon with a gun and his knowledge of rap music.

More notes:

  • Conor and Damon went wild shooting up a Calabasas (Cala-asses) neighbor’s bouncy house. It was surprising because after Conor pulled out that gun, we were expecting to hear a shot go off while they showed what the rest of the family was doing. In any event, Terry wasn’t keeping a very close eye on his protegé, was he?
  • Bunchy was already talking to his support group about Ray’s drinking and Teresa’s postpartum. Now he knows that Abby has cancer and he is even more overwhelmed. Well, sometimes when your life goes off the rails, other people can’t help you because theirs did too.
  • Belikov and Lilya were added to the Fatalities list. That creep Vlad needs to go next week.
