2) Damian Lewis as Robert “Bobby” Axelrod
Robert “Bobby” Axelrod is a billionaire hedge-fund manager from humble beginnings. Even though he is approachable, charitable, and liked by the public, his business involves insider trading and bribery. He was a series regular from seasons 1 to 5. Season 6 did not feature him, but the upcoming season will see him appear in six episodes.
Damian Lewis appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert a few months ago and revealed that his character will return for the show’s final season.

Billions synopsis
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the synopsis of Billions reads,
“Wealth, influence and corruption collide in this drama set in New York. Shrewd U.S. attorney Chuck Rhoades is embroiled in a high-stakes game of predator vs. prey with Bobby Axelrod, an ambitious hedge-fund king.”
It further states,
“To date, Rhoades has never lost an insider trading case — he’s 81-0 — but when criminal evidence turns up against Axelrod, he proceeds cautiously in building the case against Axelrod, who employs Rhoades’ wife, psychiatrist Wendy, as a performance coach for his company.”
Billions was created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin. The series premiered on January 17, 2016.
