Supporting Cast of Viagra: Ray Donovan

Here are some of the actors who appeared in Viagra, the sixth episode of Season 2 of Ray Donovan.

Eion Bailey played Steve Knight, an enormously successful motivational author and speaker. He’s so successful, in fact, it has made him eccentric. He beats up service people who deliver sandwiches at times he considers inopportune, and he can afford to pay hundreds of thousands to make such a problem go away.

His victim was played by Omar Leyva. Manuel knew a beating by a celebrity is worth big bucks. It was just a matter of how much he was willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement and leave the USA for. (See “Behind the Fix” in the recap). He ended up getting a one way ticket back to Guatemala and $350K. Ray Donovan (Liev Schreiber) got $100K and a new client in Steve Knight. That loose cannon, by the way, is the new boyfriend of Ashley Rucker (Ambyr Childers), possibly a step up from that lunatic Stu Feldman.

Jayne Taini plays Harriet Greenberg, the tough-talking chain-smoking bookkeeper at the Fite Club who is really sick of laundering money for Ray Donovan. She flat out tells him that she is not going to be able to make it look like the Fite Club has enough income for him to afford the $4.6M Trousdale property. Ray insists he wants it, unaware that his wife, Abby (Paula Malcomson), no longer does. Later, Harriet is the first to inform Ray of his brother Terry’s (Eddie Marsan) intention to sell the gym and move to Ireland.

Kandis Erickson played Debbie Gerson from Paramount Pictures, who is apparently following up on Mickey Donovan and his collaboration with the dear departed Sean Walker. Her character will be back in Episode 8 so Mickey’s script-writing adventures are probably not over, though his friendship with Shorty may be on thin ice because of it. Shorty was offended that Mickey would rather write scripts than rob a safe, or that Mickey said script writing was not a pipe dream, but was as real as Shorty’s cancer. We’re not sure which ticked Shorty off because he has been cool up until now with Mickey’s offensive remarks about his imminent demise, like telling him to buy a life insurance policy and make Mickey the beneficiary.

More random fun: Avi (Steven Bauer) told Lena (Katherine Moennig) that he worked as a stripper for one summer and proceeded to show her while testing the secret camera he installed at Tom Volcheck’s house. Lena just laughed and turned it off.
