‘Ray Donovan’ season 5 cast list: Two more new characters will join the show

The fifth season will be filled with both new and familiar faces. Two more cast members have been announced to join the fifth instalment of the show. Graham Rogers and Michel Gill will be part of the cast list in “Ray Donovan” season 5.

Graham Rogers, known for his role in the first season of “Quantico,” has been added to the cast list for the fifth instalment of “Ray Donovan.” He will be in the whole season as a recurring character. According to reports, Rogers will play the role of Smitty. Smitty will be Bridget’s (Kerris Dorsey) new boyfriend in the show.

Beyond Rogers, Michel Gill of “House of Cards” will also have a recurring role in the upcoming instalment of “Ray Donovan.” In the fifth season, Gill will appear in the whole season as Doug Landry.

Recently, it was announced that Adina Porter, Brian White and Lili Simmons will have recurring roles in season 5. However, not all of them will have season-long arcs unlike Rogers and Gill. According to Variety, Porter will be a fixer going by the name Vicky Delgatti. She will be in at least four episodes of the fifth instalment along with White. White will be a famous celebrity named Jay in his upcoming role. On the other hand, Simmons will play Natalie James. She is reported to be signed up for a season-long arc. Her role will be a star of a huge movie franchise described as a young and attractive actress.

Writer and director of “Ray Donovan” David Hollander said, "I think my desire for [season 5] is really all about a full-on Hollywood assault. A grand Hollywood year. It's going to be a little concentrated now, but that's where we're going. Family focused, Hollywood, boxing, relationship between Abby and Ray, and the brothers working more closely with Ray," he added.

“Ray Donovan” is set in Los Angeles, California. The series focuses on an Irish-American man named Ray Donovan (Liev Schreiber). Ray works for a law firm called Goldman and Drexler. The law firm mostly represents the rich and the famous. However, Ray is notoriously known as a fixer. His main job is to arrange payoffs, bribes, threats and other activities to make sure his clients are happy. He even takes care of all shady activities including murder.

The fifth season of “Ray Donovan” will be released this summer in Foxtel’s Showcase channel.
