Ray Donovan cast members’ upcoming films, TV shows in 2019

The icy frost between seasons of Ray Donovan is breathing through the window sill, no better comfort than the cast’s outside projects to warm the soul.

A pendulum swings ever so leisurely inside of its grandfather clock, remembering times successors forgot. “I was there. Don’t tell me I wasn’t there,” Mickey recalls along with the show’s veteran fanbase, practically family. Honorary Donovans gathering around the tube sans their customary Sunday staple, the chilly lull of a conversation piece in the air. Living on reruns, delving into the past, scrutinizing every moment until Ray Donovan’s seventh season commences.

Yet, opening night of lucky number #7 is miles away, frozen in place. Melting one minute at a time till its premiere, barely taken out of the fridge. Production on Ray Donovan season 7 doesn’t begin until the foliage of springtime in New York but the craft of acting is water not a solid. Forever, adapting to circumstance. During the time of winter separation, the show’s cast have been hard at work on new film and television projects for you to watch.

* The following list will be actively updated as new information becomes available. Only cast members who have appeared in season 6 (flashback cameos included) and have outside projects are featured in this piece. Ray Donovan cast alumni from seasons prior will have their own article in the future.
