'Ray Donovan' News: Dash Mihok Talks His Role, Hip-Hop Album And Tourette Syndrome
"Ray Donovan's" Dash Mihok recently had an interview with Variety, where he revealed some facts about his career and his illness.
The actor has over 70 acting credits under his belt, including the damaged brother Bunchy in the series "Ray Donovan." He also stars alongside Kate Bosworth, Jacob Tremblay, Thomas Jane and Annabeth Gish in "Before I Wake," and is prepping up for his upcoming hip-hop album. As a child, he was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. Today he is the national ambassador for the Tourette Association of America.
Talking about how his role on "Ray Donovan" has been different from his other work, the actor said it has been in the balance of forming a character over four years, as well as the improbability of where it may be going.
"I had never worked as a TV regular for more than one season. The difference has been in the balance of forming a character over four years, mixed with the uncertainty of where that character may be going, depending on the writer's vision. In movies, you sort of know what you are signing up for after reading the script," he said.
The actor, who has been making hip-hop since he was a child growing up in New York, was inspired by random people to venture into the music industry by recording a hip-hop album.
"Every moment in life can be interpreted as a risk, depending on our outlook--and level of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I do my best to depend on my gut. If you sit with a decision long enough, your gut will tell you what path to take," he said.
On his Tourette syndrome, Mihok shared that having the disorder has always been a tough one for him, but he firmly believes that people nowadays are more tolerant and empathic than ever.
"That gives me hope that we're all closer to being understood," he said.
Meanwhile, the Sunday night episode of "Ray Donovan" saw the demise of Marisol.
"Ray Donovan" airs every Sunday, 9:00 P.M. on Showtime.
