Ray Donovan made history when it premiered in 2013. In a market saturated with crime dramas, the Ray Donovan cast was so good it surpassed expectations and flew past the mark. Ray Donovan is a fixer – and you know the term from watching Olivia Pope in Scandal work as a fixer. The difference is that while Olivia Pope fixed political issues for politicians to help them find their way into office, Ray Donovan works with celebrity clients. And he works with them to cover up their crimes. The show is fantastic, but we must give credit where credit is due. The Ray Donovan cast is, by far, the reason this show reached its success levels. See for yourself if this is the single best cast to land on television together.

The iconic actor plays Ray Donovan himself. His rise to fame came in the late 1990s, but it has not waned. He’s been in some interesting films (Scream, anyone?), but he’s also been in some outstanding ones (Ransom). He knows how to play the character, bringing life and just enough darkness to Donovan.
