It’s a complicated chemistry that nets an actor a role but in Pooch Hall’s case, he thinks a trip back to the East Coast helped him nab the role of Daryll on the new Showtime drama “Ray Donovan,” which premieres Sunday at 10 p.m.

Hall brings some of that attitude to Daryll, the newly-discovered illegitimate son of Donovan patriarch Mickey Donovan, played by Jon Voight. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
