Is Pablo Schreiber Leaving Orange Is the New Black?

Apparently, Season 3 of Orange Is the New Black is going to be Pornstache-lite.

Pablo Schreiber, who plays prison guard George "Pornstache" Mendez on the Netflix comedy (and also haunts the dreams of many a SVU fan), says his participation will be limited.

"I'm a series regular now on a show called The Brink on HBO, Schreiber told Vulture. "But his mother is making an appearance on season three. Mary Steenburgen has been cast as my mom. I'm not sure what she'll do that will advance the Pornstache plot line, but for now, Mendez is in prison, biding his time. Spoiler alert!"

HBO ordered The Brink back in February. The dark comedy focuses on a  geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate and desperate men — U.S. Secretary of State Walter Hollander (Tim Robbins), lowly Foreign Service officer Alex Coppins (Jack Black), and ace Navy fighter pilot Zeke Callahan (Schreiber). The trio must pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War III.

Schreiber is also known for his roles on Law & Order: SVU, A Gifted Man The Wire and Lights Out.
