In the Billions Season 3 episode “Icebreaker,” Axe (Damian Lewis) sets out and secures capital from a controversial source – Russian billionaire Grigor Andolov. When Taylor (Asia Date Dillon) asks Axe, “You don’t think taking his money is at least worth a discussion?” He replies, “There was a discussion.” (Fun fact: the Russian name Grigor means “on the watch.”)
Grigor Andolov on the Billions is portrayed by two-time Oscar nominee John Malkovich.
