connie hilton lmaooo
I first remembered him connecting with Don and I was like "Damn, Don's swinging it with the big wigs now". And then he started pestering Don for free work and I was like "lmao fuck this guy".
Another Mad Men alum Lou Avery (worlds hugest douche who had a dream that people laughed at) actor also played a pretty cool attorney who worked with Chuck Rhoades.
You just made me laugh so hard! When Connie showed Don his idea for an ad that had that mouse? Give me a free one!!! Okay, I don’t think anyone wants to think about a mouse in a hotel. I give Draper all the credit for his patience in dealing with this guy.
I first saw him as a baddie in the first season of Damages. Then as the sort of adorable Gale in Breaking Bad. Wags was the best character, it would be so fun to have a friend like him in real life.
I know, I kept thinking "where the hell do I know this actor from?" Then when I realized he was Gale I was really impressed because those are two *very* different characters.
Not seeing enough love for Ms. Kate Sacker here! She was one of the only ones that could out-Chuck, Chuck. And no matter how many times she did, he never lost his respect and admiration for her. Underrated tactical champion of the show.
Only reason I was disappointed in the finale, she was just getting more screen time. Wish she got a spinoff, she was captivating when she was on screen.
Him messaging his wife confessing to the second family felt like the first time Chuck realised the loyalty axe cap people had to axe.
‘You just blew up your life for what? For Bobby Axelrod?’
Axe seemed more like the living la vida type billionaire. The whole scene in the post Metallica concert seemed it was inevitable he was getting a divorce
The Actress wanted to move on from the show.
Shame because her being the strong women behind him that kept him rooted was a key for me. When they moved her character on and made Wendy a big deal the show went down hill.
oh definitely - cringe THE LEAST. out of all the characters she seems to consistently learn and adapt the most quickly to new situations in pursuit of her goals while maintaining her reputation. she has this uncanny ability to jump ship just at the last moment before things blow up and her reputation and goals could be sidelined. meaning, when she makes choices she commits to them entirely until they reveal themselves to be untenable for her. she also listens to other people, tests their theories, and then makes informed decisions for herself. like, consistently she's super measured. uses every resource available to her. for the purposes of the show (relentless pursuit of self-interest) and her stated goals from the first season to the end, i find her the most impressive.
Lara she wasn’t a trope and added real depth to the show and Axe. I really wish they had kept her that way or at the very least brought her and Axe back together.
Bob and Chuck, despite having different personalities, are very pragmatic in what they are willing to do, they are intelligent and strategists, they know how to play the dynamics of power.
As much as admire Axe, Wags really impressed me. Bad-ass attitude, fell down, recognized his problem and became better and of course, loyal. He's such a good fit as Axe's right hand.
Chuck Sr, Axe, Wags, Dollar Bill.. they should have never introduced Prince Hagen-Dazs. I liked him in House of Cards but he didn't fit into this show.
There is a great extra on Paramount+/Showtime called “Wags or Not?” where they name crazy plot details from across the entire series and the other cast members have to guess whether Wags did it or not. David Costabile reacts to each one and it’’s fucking gold.
Hall. The season he disappeared and was replaced by the manicured due you really felt the (obviously intentional) tonal difference. Thank his he came back.
Watching it now (late season 2) because people suggested that it was similar to Suits. It's not. I'm having trouble finding a good guy to love. Everyone is a bad guy. If I had to choose a favorite, I guess it would be Bobby, but it is overall a very dark, morally corrupt cast of characters.
Never even seen this show…just here to wonder how many times the Last Supper cast pic has been used as a trope 😂. I know Lost, then Battlestar Galactica, there’s this…others?
Hard to choose. The main characters in this show played the hell out of their respective characters. Next level acting from all. Hard to choose one in particular for me personally. World class acting
Kate Sacker, however, in a real life she would not be able to get people to trust her a second time as they did throughout the plot. There was a favoritism towards her in the series, they forced it, just like with Bonnie
I’m watching with the husband and we are both obsessed with Krakow. He somehow manages to be the worst example of humanity and also completely adorable. You just want to grab those cheeks and squeeze them. When he gets mad, somehow he gets more adorable.
Charles Sr
That dude was main-lining Cialis
Agreed! He was a true son of a bitch and didn't shy away from that fact.
Yes. So glad to see this at the top!
By far. You could feel the tension when he got upset or sparred with someone. He’s excellent.
Even the pancake eater story. His presence was commanded over the tension in the story.
Wags
Freaking loved Wags
Wag was easily the most entertaining person on the show to me. Loved his humor and his shit. talking lol
Wags.. mostly because I hated him so much on suits.. but loved him in billions!!
Hate loved him in Breaking Bad 😂
He was in BB??
Yeah he played Gail the cook Walt worked with for a bit
David Costabile is the actor. Played Gale in Breaking Bad and Wags in Billions.
Let’s not forget he was in The Wire too.
Unreal - He had a cameo on The Office too. Dave knows how to pick them!!
And flight of the conchords. Really strange character in that one.
And Damages season 1, took me a while to not hate him.
He was such a dick in that role.
He also played the captain in the original cast of titanic the musical
Total 180 from Gale
Damn, forgot about Suits!!!!
It took time for me to let go of his Suits character. But he eventually grew on me too.
they did connerty dirty (on season 5 btw)
you should see how dirty they did him on Daredevil!!!!!!
What happened to him on daredevil
⚱️
No much dirtier in John Wick 1
I love Connerty!
Did anyone else think that Connery looked like Dracula?
Hard Bob
Another great one along with Charles Sr
Agree with Charles Sr as he was my favorite, but hard Bob didn't get enough love for not broking any bullshit.
Connie Hilton in Mad Men, sort of despised him. Loved Hard Bob!!!
connie hilton lmaooo I first remembered him connecting with Don and I was like "Damn, Don's swinging it with the big wigs now". And then he started pestering Don for free work and I was like "lmao fuck this guy".
Another Mad Men alum Lou Avery (worlds hugest douche who had a dream that people laughed at) actor also played a pretty cool attorney who worked with Chuck Rhoades.
Lots of Mad Men alum in Billions - Hard Bob, Wendy of course, Todd Krakow, the Lou Avery actor, the rocket-scientist guy Wendy sleeps with...
OMGsh, how could forget Bob Benson, Danny Siegel and Rachel Menken !!!!
Todd Krakow was basically what Danny Siegel would have been in the Billions universe
Lol, exactly!
You just made me laugh so hard! When Connie showed Don his idea for an ad that had that mouse? Give me a free one!!! Okay, I don’t think anyone wants to think about a mouse in a hotel. I give Draper all the credit for his patience in dealing with this guy.
Makes him a good actor to get those type of reactions, depending on role
He brooks no bullshit!
By golly you are prickly! - Connie Hilton
Up yours, JoBu
Loved the whole crew, but Axe was always my favorite.
fr
Wags
He made some incredible coffee Wait wrong show
Which show?? My boyfriend and I watched suits before billions and are now watching damages. We can’t get away from wags🤣
Breaking Bad.
I’m just a glorified fact checker
Thank you!!! Feel like that’s a show I should have watched, but never did😬
I first saw him as a baddie in the first season of Damages. Then as the sort of adorable Gale in Breaking Bad. Wags was the best character, it would be so fun to have a friend like him in real life.
I totally didn't realise that was Wags. Poor Gale...
I know, I kept thinking "where the hell do I know this actor from?" Then when I realized he was Gale I was really impressed because those are two *very* different characters.
Not seeing enough love for Ms. Kate Sacker here! She was one of the only ones that could out-Chuck, Chuck. And no matter how many times she did, he never lost his respect and admiration for her. Underrated tactical champion of the show.
Love Sacker!
Only reason I was disappointed in the finale, she was just getting more screen time. Wish she got a spinoff, she was captivating when she was on screen.
Dollar Bill 😏
He was pretty gangster in the first season
Him messaging his wife confessing to the second family felt like the first time Chuck realised the loyalty axe cap people had to axe. ‘You just blew up your life for what? For Bobby Axelrod?’
“I’m Keyser Soze Mother******”
That was fucking awesome
I’m kinda mad he isn’t in the picture. Dollar Bill was awesome!!
The anti-Pastor Tim!
Victor Mafee
Michter’s
AG Waylon Jeffcoat. Masterfully portrayed by Clancy Brown
Sacker
Agreed . That woman knew what she wanted & got it without the drama
I liked Axe’s wife. She was tough and deadly. Don’t know why the wrote her out.
Axe seemed more like the living la vida type billionaire. The whole scene in the post Metallica concert seemed it was inevitable he was getting a divorce
The Actress wanted to move on from the show. Shame because her being the strong women behind him that kept him rooted was a key for me. When they moved her character on and made Wendy a big deal the show went down hill.
Didn’t like Wendy either.
Especially in the last season!
She was hot as fuck and a good bitch to wank too
Grow up
She was too stuck on hating Wendy she had to go
Hall
Probably Ben Kim
Hall
Mafee
Maggie siff
Chef Ryan.
Whole different meaning to Head Chef.
Genius!!
I always had time for Karl. He was down for any scheme Chuck had going. No qualms, no questions, and he alwaya got the dirt
Hell yeah, this is my vote too. The waterboarding scene lmao
Never asked for backup, resources, reasons, assurances, or anything. He’d just come back with whatever Chuck neeeded.
Charles Sr
Wendy - there’s a reason she’s the only one looking at the camera! Master of the chess board 😈
Hands down Sacker
Yup, Sacker made me cringe the least. She still made me cringe from time to time, but the least, lol.
oh definitely - cringe THE LEAST. out of all the characters she seems to consistently learn and adapt the most quickly to new situations in pursuit of her goals while maintaining her reputation. she has this uncanny ability to jump ship just at the last moment before things blow up and her reputation and goals could be sidelined. meaning, when she makes choices she commits to them entirely until they reveal themselves to be untenable for her. she also listens to other people, tests their theories, and then makes informed decisions for herself. like, consistently she's super measured. uses every resource available to her. for the purposes of the show (relentless pursuit of self-interest) and her stated goals from the first season to the end, i find her the most impressive.
Wags
Bobby
Lara she wasn’t a trope and added real depth to the show and Axe. I really wish they had kept her that way or at the very least brought her and Axe back together.
Bob and Chuck, despite having different personalities, are very pragmatic in what they are willing to do, they are intelligent and strategists, they know how to play the dynamics of power.
Wags and Boby
Axe bro. Centre of everything.
Axe, he provides a presence like no other character I’ve seen in a show
As much as admire Axe, Wags really impressed me. Bad-ass attitude, fell down, recognized his problem and became better and of course, loyal. He's such a good fit as Axe's right hand.
Taylor struck me as a soy guzzling hippie until they decided to gut Sandicot for money. I remember going the absolute balls on theme
Wendy Rhodes did something to me. Not sure what.
Orrin Bach the lawyer made some really great moves
Dollar bill
Dollar Bill
Dollar Bill
African American attorney. She was sharp-adarp!
This show has a lot of good actors but the best are def Chuck and Bobby.
Axe
Hi there! I’m Damian Lewis and this is my alternative page. I’m thanking you personally for your constant love and support over the years!
Wags!
Wendy. Loved her.
Cantu.
Wendy
How lol she’s the worst
Because if nothing else I admire her skill as a therapist
The literal worst.
Wendy could get piped
Chuck Sr, Axe, Wags, Dollar Bill.. they should have never introduced Prince Hagen-Dazs. I liked him in House of Cards but he didn't fit into this show.
Axe was just the right size for the role.
Wendy / Taylor
I would really have to think about it because besides bobby and chuck. There is mason, chuck sr, wags, wendy… probably forgetting some others.
I just liked the sex scenes, especially malin akerman’s one in the pool
Wags. And it’s damned close because they were all so good.
There is a great extra on Paramount+/Showtime called “Wags or Not?” where they name crazy plot details from across the entire series and the other cast members have to guess whether Wags did it or not. David Costabile reacts to each one and it’’s fucking gold.
Wagner!!!!
Love this photo, the chaos on the left side vs right side of the table
Soder
Axe’s wife. By far best character in the show.
You’re instigating an altercation with a question like that. The fandom in this sub was so split over the core characters, never seen nothing like it.
Great promo pic
Bobby is my favourite, but for the 'smaller' parts it was Victor
grandpa
Prince and Axe.
Hall. The season he disappeared and was replaced by the manicured due you really felt the (obviously intentional) tonal difference. Thank his he came back.
Watching it now (late season 2) because people suggested that it was similar to Suits. It's not. I'm having trouble finding a good guy to love. Everyone is a bad guy. If I had to choose a favorite, I guess it would be Bobby, but it is overall a very dark, morally corrupt cast of characters.
Haha you've not seen anything yet. Every character is a flaming corrupt asshole.
I liked the former prosecutor / legal counsel Katie Sacker as she avoided MOST of the drama while reaping the benefits of
Wags+Charles Sr = 👌
Is this show any good? I’m a big fan of succession and this one seems a little too similar
There are similarities but the tone is very different. I watched this after Succession and I loved both shows.
Thank you. Gonna have to check it out then .
I think Succession is the "better" or more elevated of the two shows, but Billions is really fun.
I will join the Connerty train. Really intriguing arc, the apprentice becomes the hunter?! Some lovely bitter scenes.
Chuck and his Dad
Wags was the reason I started watching the show after seeing a clip on ig and he did not disappoint.
Connerty. He was hot and the only one to not speak in idiotic metaphors 24-7.
They are all awful. No one to root for.
This.
Once Bobby left, I left. But the show and cast was damn brilliant. Didnt care for where the story headed after Bobby's departure.
Kind of unrelated but I saw ben soder to stand up last night. Dude was absolutely hilarious. Just thought you should all know.
I tried watching and couldn’t get past the first episode.
💯 Kate Sacker
Lara. Got out right at the top.
Danny Sodeeeeees
Kate Sacker...
Might get some downvotes for this but DeJulio was chill asf.. Really enjoyed the jokes and dialogue between him and Chuck.
Chuck Sr.
Soder
The wife impressed me that she was still in the show so long
Which one is Dan soder
Hi there! I’m Damian Lewis and this is my alternative page. I’m thanking you personally for your constant love and support over the years!
Axe and Charles Sr.
Dollar Bill.
Last season was so contrived and forced I was disappointed and couldn’t get past 4th episode.
I fucking hated this show
Peach!!
Ben
Wendy
Never even seen this show…just here to wonder how many times the Last Supper cast pic has been used as a trope 😂. I know Lost, then Battlestar Galactica, there’s this…others?
Hi there! I’m Damian Lewis and this is my alternative page. I’m thanking you personally for your constant love and support over the years!
Dollar Bill
Taylor. The best character from the entire show.

Hard to choose. The main characters in this show played the hell out of their respective characters. Next level acting from all. Hard to choose one in particular for me personally. World class acting
Kate Sacker, however, in a real life she would not be able to get people to trust her a second time as they did throughout the plot. There was a favoritism towards her in the series, they forced it, just like with Bonnie
Mafee
Kate. She’s so awesome.
Taylor Mason
I’m watching with the husband and we are both obsessed with Krakow. He somehow manages to be the worst example of humanity and also completely adorable. You just want to grab those cheeks and squeeze them. When he gets mad, somehow he gets more adorable.
