"Orange Is The New Black" star Pablo Schreiber--best identified for his role as the abusive correctional officer, George "Pornstache" Mendez--will be seen yet again on the small screen. The award-winning actor will be reprising the character of Mad Sweeney in Starz' adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "American Gods."
In a report by Hollywood Reporter, the "Orange Is The New Black" star and the other cast members of Neil Gaiman's fantasy classic already began filming "American Gods." There, Schreiber will be the alcohol-dependent leprechaun who serves for Mr. Wednesday played by Ian McShane.
The last time Schreiber worked as a screen actor was with "Orange Is The New Black", from which he received an Emmy nomination for the Outstanding Guest Actor in 2015. As previously reported by Parent Herald, the mustache-totting Schreiber might be coming back for "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5, as he might possibly meet with his lady love, Daya Diaz (Dascha Polanco), in the maximum security unit.
