Liev Schreiber explained how he maintains a relationship with his "Ray Donovan" co-star Jon Voight given their incredibly differing views on politics. 

While Schreiber isn’t particularly known for sounding off on politics on social media, Voight has made a name for himself in recent years for his pro-conservative posts, which include videos in which he often uses religious vocabulary to denounce the left and praise Donald Trump. 

Speaking to TV Line, Schreiber noted that he does not at all agree with most of Voight’s political opinions. However, they maintain a cordial relationship by following one simple rule — Don’t talk about it.

"I love Jon and always will. Even as he instigates violence and division," Schreiber wrote at the time. "While I may not share his views on politics or policy he will always be my brother. For me, that is the guiding principle this country was built on. More important than ever…"
