Pornstache Will Not Return for 'Orange Is The New Black' Season 3

By Nick Roman ·

Orange Is the New Black is leaving Pornstache behind.

Pablo Schreiber, who plays the character, whose real name is Mendez, confirmed to the New York Post that he will not be returning for Season 3 of the Netflix hit.

“I’m not taking part in the third season. I’m a member of a show called The Brink that’s going to be on HBO. It’s a half-hour comedy with Jack Black and Tim Robbins and me [as] the three leads. I’m really excited about it.”

He went on to clarify that, technically, he was never a series regular on Orange Is the New Black, whereas he is on The Brink, so it's no surprise that his priorities were with the HBO show. “it’s a no-brainer,” he said. “It was a better move for me as an actor.”

However, Schreiber clarified that he loved his time on the show, and had nothing but praise for Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan. “I would go anywhere that [Kohan’s] working, and I know that our paths will cross again soon, whether it’s on Orange or on a future project.”

Schreiber even went on Twitter to let fans know this might not be the last of Pornstache (a character that apparently has fans):
