Michael Chernus Is TV's Dirtiest Hippie

This Royal Pains guest star has been hectoring squares all over the medium lately.

Who’s Suddenly Everywhere? Michael Chernus.

You Might Know Him From: Ned, the guy whose wife Annika (the incredible Dagmara Dominczyk) compulsively drew pictures of his penis, in the 2011 feature Higher Ground.

First Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As Louie, the broken-nosed dirtbag patient who called Roman (Betty Gilpin) a cunt this season on Nurse Jackie.

Next Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As Cal, the off-the-grid-trailer-dwelling brother of incarcerated Piper (Taylor Schilling) on Orange Is The New Black.

Latest Location Of His Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As Pat McRevis, a local environmentalist harassing Evan (Paulo Costanzo) on the village council campaign trail, last night on Royal Pains.

Where We Propose He Could Next Be Suddenly Everywhere: Having settled into this hippie groove, if he turned up as a vegan activist turned dinner next season on Hannibal, I probably wouldn't be that mad about it.
