Jason Butler Harner is boarding Ray Donovan.
He'll recur as Varick Strauss, Andrew Finney’s (Ian McShane) cool, calculated right-hand man in the third season of the Showtime drama starring Liev Schreiber as L.A.'s best professional fixer.
Harner joins the recent additions to the cast, including Katie Holmes, Guy Burnet and McShane. The third installment of Ray Donovan will include twelve episodes and will no longer be run by its creator, Ann Biderman, who stepped down from her showrunning duties last August.
