Biography
TERRY DONOVAN
Played by Eddie Marsan

Ray's brother Terry is a former boxer who has developed Parkinson's disease from too many blows to the head. His condition has left him despondent and shy, and therefore extremely awkward around women. He owns a boxing gym in LA where Ray's father and brothers hang out. As much as Terry tries not to, he can't seem to avoid accepting help from Ray.
