Lewis’ character, hedge fund titan Bobby “Axe” Axelrod, is not someone you’re supposed to root for.
The deliciously despicable saga of Chuck Rhoades and Bobby Axelrod returns for Season 3 on Showtime Sunday, March 25 at 10/9c.
Lewis says that every hedge fund billionaire thinks they’re Bobby Axelrod (and there’s some truth to that; he’s an amalgam of the stories and character traits of a bunch of different very rich guys).
Those are exactly the kind of people who watch Billions and shout “Yo Bob-ay!” at Damian Lewis out of passing cars when they see him on the street.
