Supporting Cast of Marisol: Ray Donovan

Here are some of the actors who appeared in “Marisol” (7-3-2016), Episode 2 of Ray Donovan’s Season 4 . The episode recap is here.

Lisa Bonet as Marisol Campos in Ray Donovan

Lisa Bonet plays Marisol, Hector’s troubled half-sister (a bit of an understatement). He was about to defend his world middleweight title in a very important ($55 million purse) fight when Marisol decided she would go public and tell the entire world on TV all about her scandalous behavior with her half-brother.

Tom Wright and Patrick St. Esprit as Hector’s managers

Tom Wright and Patrick St. Esprit played Hector’s managers. Their characters tried to reason with the very unreasonable Marisol. She ended up reading a televised statement that she lied to John Van Scott at ASC Network to hurt Hector just in case they got any ideas of revealing what she said.

Victor Ortiz as Hector’s opponent, Whittaker

Victor Ortiz played Whittaker, Hector’s opponent in the big fight. In his emotionally distraught shape, Hector just couldn’t get his act together. Whittaker won so he’s now the middleweight champ of the world.

Alexa Demie (Shairee) and Dominique Columbus (Damon)

Dominique Columbus played Damon, the kid who stole Abby Donovan’s purse and beat on Terry Donovan. He gave the purse to Shairee (played by Alexa Demie). Terry caught her with it. He let her go and decided to help Damon become a boxer. Damon watched the Campos/Whittaker fight ringside with the Donovans. One day you’re out mugging women, the next you’re a guest at a big prize fight. Shairee ended up without tickets to the fight or the purse.

More notes:

• Pasha D. Lychnikoff played Ivan Belikov. We’re not exactly sure how Ray Donovan pulled off cozying up to him at the bath house. Last season, human trafficker Belikov was in The Octopus. At that time he was being played by Aharon Impalé. Belikov did meet Mickey Donovan, but we don’t think he ever met Ray.
• Bunchy’s wife Teresa appeared in this episode in some scenes that let us know that she is still calling him Brendan and he is still suffering from the traumatic results of his abuse by Father Danny.
• Did you notice how Bunchy towered over Teresa’s cousin Jorge in that confrontation scene? Bunchy and Ray are the tallest Donovan brothers at 6’3″. Daryll is 6′ and Terry is 5’8-1/2. Jorge (one of Aunt Erlina’s kids) was played by Daniel V. Graulau.
• Ray Donovan’s best line in this episode was in his scene with Father Romero when he asked the priest: “What if God wants me to do what I do?” Really, Ray? The audience does, anyhow.

Hector’s Psalm 23 tattoo. In Spanish, it’s: El Señor es mi pastor

The tattoo across Hector’s chest read “The Lord is my Shepherd” and the song playing at the end was “Holy Holy” by Evangelist
