Liev Schreiber seems to have taken things a step further when it comes to his role in Ray Donovan, by not only playing the protagonist of the Showtime series but also directing himself.

Schreiber Took The Titular Role Because He Was A 'Real Man'?

It seems like fans are going to be treated to an episode director by Schreiber in the second season of the crime drama. While it was anyway being reported that he would be directing an episode, Schreiber seems to have confirmed the news via his Twitter account after calling it a wrap on May 10:

"End of first week doing double duty. New respect for episodic directors and the amazing cast and crew that is Ray Donovan."

The second season of Ray Donovan is set to feature a host of guest stars.

Eilon Bailey was the latest addition to the cast and he will be playing a self-help guru who becomes Ray's new client.

General Hospital's Andrea Bogart is set to star as Megan, the wife of FBI agent Thomas Volchek (Kip Pardue)

Pardue, who plays the part of Volchek also comes on board with season 2 of the Showtime series. Volchek is an FBI agent working under the chief of the Los Angeles division, James Cochran. Hank Azaria will portray Cochran. Both Purdue and Azaria will have recurring roles throughout the season. It was previously reported that Azaria's character will cause problems for Ray (Liev Schrieber) on the show, and it seems like the addition of Pardue will spell double trouble for the fixer.

Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks) will be guest-starring as Azaria's wife on the series.

Then there are some guest stars who won't be complicating affairs for Ray.

The Wire's Wendell Pierce will also be coming on board as Mr. Keith, a parole officer on the show. Though Pierce's character's circumstances will be pretty abysmal, and instead of posing a threat to Ray, he will be actually taking some help from him.

Vinessa Shaw is also joining the cast as a Pulitzer award-winning Boston Globe journalist who is working on a book about Sully (James Woods) and the circumstances surrounding his death. Shaw's character might create trouble for Ray as she digs deeper while investigating.

The second season will premiere on July 13.

Ray Donovan airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
