Orange Is The New Black: 10 Characters More Interesting Than Piper
9. George Mendez
George Mendez, better known as Pornstache for rather obvious reasons, was a prison guard at Litchfield and is one of the most perverted, underhanded, nasty, and psychotic characters on the show - so naturally hes one of the most interesting, and certainly the standout male from the two seasons weve seen so far. He abuses his position of power to get what he wants, which is mostly Daya. However, when she gets pregnant to fellow guard John Bennet, they set Mendez up to take the fall. As hes led away, he professes that he is in love with her, and continues to write her love letters from prison. He may be an extremely unpleasant man, but theres another side of him to explore, and he makes for compelling viewing. And theres that spectacular moustache.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
