“I would consider it,” Schreiber said. The actor made it clear that any decisions about bringing back “Ray Donovan” are above his pay grade, but made it clear that the Showtime brass has a lot of passion for the show. “It was always [Showtime CEO] David Nevins’ baby,” he said. “I know he loves this character and this story, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more from David.”...
