Vernon Schillinger is a character, played by American Actor J.K. Simmons , on the Television show '' Oz ''.

Schillinger is the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in Oz. An ardent Racist , he was imprisoned for Aggravated Assault against a black Drug Dealer who was selling drugs to his sons.

In Prison , Schillinger indulges in varying degrees of sexual Sadism , especially toward fellow inmate Tobias Beecher , whom he Rape s to "initiate" him into prison life.

Schillinger has a number of major family issues throughout the series as well: his father, whom he hates, taught him everything to know about racism; his sons are amoral drug addicts; his sister is banished from the family for marrying a Jew ; and his daughter in law is a prostitute with a baby of possibly mixed race.


SEASON 1


Schillinger is the head of the Aryan Brotherhood, a gang of White Supremacist s. Their main goal is to put fear into the darker skinned inmates who wish to take advantage of any whites inside of the prison. Schillinger starts off Season 1 by convincing Beecher, a lawyer imprisoned for Vehicular Manslaughter , to move into his cell. Beecher, an educated family man who is not in any way fit for prison, accepts the offer to move because if he does not, he will be raped by his monstrous cellmate Simon Adebisi . Schillinger takes advantage of Beecher's weakness and rapes him after branding a Swastika on his buttocks. Throughout this season, he is wary of Muslim inmate Kareem Said , who has the potential to lead the other black inmates in a takeover of the prison. He frequently humiliates and Sodomizes Beecher. One day, however, after he forces Beecher to wear a shirt with a Confederate Flag , Beecher throws a chair at him that shatters glass into his eye, Blinding him. Once out of the hospital, Schillinger attempts to murder Beecher, but Beecher beats him with some free weights and defecates upon him in front of the entire prison population. This gains Beecher the respect of several inmates, such as Ryan O'Reilly and even Adebisi, and harms the Brotherhood's reputation. Schillinger then tells McManus how badly he wants to be Parole d and McManus reluctantly allows him to move back into Emerald City.

During a riot, Schillinger lays low but manages to see correctional officer Diane Wittlesey murder an inmate named Scott Ross.


SEASON 2


An investigation of the riot is led by Law School dean Alvah Case. Schillinger covers up several details. All the prisoners are currently in General Population, since Emerald City is undergoing repair. While there, a Brotherhood member and acquaintance of Schillinger, James Robson , forces Beecher to perform Oral Sex on him. Beecher instead bites off the tip of Robson's Penis to prove that he will hurt anyone in the Brotherhood making an attempt on him. Later, when Emerald City is reopened, Schillinger is up for parole and Beecher spends the entire time taunting him, threatening to ruin his chance at freedom. Fed up, Schillinger goes to various inmates, asking them to kill his former whipping boy. The Aryan, Biker, Italian , Latino , and black gangs refuse, and mock Schillinger for being too weak to do his own dirty work. Beecher learns of this, and, with the help of Diane Wittlesey and Tim McManus, not only gets Schillinger's parole hearing cancelled, but extends his sentence with a charge of conspiracy to commit murder, and gets him moved out of Emerald City permanently.

In the meantime, Schillinger's sons, who are in their late teens, have been kicked out their grandfather's house for their general bad behavior and drug problems. Schillinger is then brutally attacked by some black inmates in general population. He and a fellow Aryan, Mark Mack , decide that the Brotherhood's reputation is at stake, so they kill Alexander Vogel, who is found hanging upside down with the word "JEW" carved into his chest. Warden Glynn investigates the Brotherhood on principle, but Schillinger points out that any inmate or gang could have done it mainly to frame them. Schillinger also tells Glenn that blacks are just as Anti-semitic as the Aryans. Glynn cannot find any proof and the Aryans go free. Several prisoners of various gangs now respect the Aryans again, and Schillinger sets his sights on Revenge against Beecher. He employs Chris Keller , a Bisexual Serial Killer who once served time with him in another prison, to play a sick mind game on Beecher to break him down.

Keller seduces Beecher, who then falls in love with him. When his guard is down, however, Schillinger and Keller break his arms and legs.


SEASON 3


This season starts off with Karl Metzger assaulting Busmalis for allowing Mack to die in a tunnel which they were going to escape. Beecher gets out of the hospital, and Keller tells Beecher that he is sorry for hurting him, but Beecher only agrees to believe him if he confesses and testifies against Schillinger and Metzger. Metzger attacks Beecher, who uses his uncut fingernails to cut his assailant. McManus does not do anything to investigate Metzger's death after learning that Metzger was in fact a full-fledged member of the Brotherhood. When Augustus Hill testifies against Malcolm Coyle for murdering an innocent family, Kareem Said asks Schillinger, among other inmates, to help protect Hill. Schillinger agrees, because he is a family man and respects the fact that one of this family's men died in Vietnam .

Murphy starts a Boxing tournament, and Robson agrees to box for the Aryans. Robson and Schillinger continuously taunt Cyril O'Reilly for allowing them to get away with raping him, until O'Reilly boxes and beats Robson. O'Reilly, however, has a slight edge, in that Robson's water has been spiked. Schillinger's son Andrew then arrives in Oz for his part in a Hate Crime . Schillinger, upset that Andrew is a Heroin addict, tells the Brotherhood to ignore his son until he is drug free. O'Reilly, Keller, and Beecher devise a plan to turn father and son against each other; O'Reilly stops selling Andy heroin and tells him that the only way he can now purchase drugs is through the non-white inmates. Beecher befriends Andy and gets him off drugs. Their growing friendship angers Schillinger, who confronts Andy, only to hear his son reject everything he stands for. Schillinger has it arranged for his own son to OD on heroin.

Beecher, after counseling from Said, tells Schillinger that Andrew's death was a setup. Schillinger attacks Beecher, who is defended by both Keller and the Muslims. Schillinger is sent to Solitary Confinement . When he comes out, he realizes that Adebisi is plotting something against the white inmates. He asks all the other whites, including Beecher, Keller, and Russia n Jew Stanislofsky to help stand together against Adebisi. Warden Glynn locks down the prison, however, during a near Race Riot .


SEASON 4


Warden Glynn tells the white, Latino, and black inmates separately that if one incident of racial tension occurs, the prison will be permanently locked down. Schillinger still feels that the black inmates are up to something and remains wary. In the mean time, his younger son, Hank, visits; he later finds out that Hank is only there because Beecher paid him to. Schillinger enlists Hank to Kidnap Beecher's kids, and one of them dies in the process. The FBI investigates, but the agent, Taylor, blames Keller for the kidnapping. Taylor wants Keller on Death Row for kidnapping, raping, and murdering three homosexual men, and charging him with the kidnapping proves an opportunity. Schillinger then pays Jewish inmate Eli Zabitz to tell Beecher that Keller is responsible for his son's death, so the two of them go to war while the kidnapping takes place.

Schillinger is freed from the murder charges on a legal technicality, and Beecher reunited Schillinger with his son because he felt guilty for assisting in the murder of Andrew. Unknown to Schillinger, however, Beecher also hires the Italians to murder him. Hank's girlfriend, Carrie, comes by and tells Schillinger that he is going to become a grandfather.

Later, Said takes revenge on an attempt on his life by brutally attacking Robson and Schillinger, and nearly starting a war with the Aryans. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Cloutier, a reverend accused of Embezzlement , comes to Oz, and comforts Schillinger, helping him let go of his previous unhappiness and to focus on the birth of his grandchild. Just then, however, Glynn tells Schillinger that the Massachusetts State Police have found Hank's body in the woods. Convinced Beecher is behind his son's death, he enlists Robson to kill his old foe. Keller, however, convinces Schillinger that he is responsible.

Carrie gives birth and Schillinger is indeed happy — until a new inmate, Curtis Bennett, approaches him. A black Pimp , Bennett tells Schillinger that Hank owed him some money over drugs and paid it off by allowing him to pimp out Carrie. He even points out that Carrie's "clients" included black men, and that the child could very well not even be Hank's. Furious, Schillinger demands the truth and forces Carrie to get a Pregnancy Test . Beecher, meanwhile, is up for parole, and Schillinger vows to get it denied as Beecher did his. Said approaches Schillinger, warning him not to interfere with Beecher's parole. When Beecher's parole is denied, Schillinger attempts to rape him, but Said stabs and nearly kills him.


SEASON 5


This season starts out with Carrie proving that the baby is indeed Hank's. However, she was killed in a bus accident on the way to Oz. The baby survived and was sent to live with Carrie's parents in Montana .

A war is about to erupt between the Muslims and Aryans until Sister Pete has a series of Interaction sessions between Beecher, Said, and Schillinger. Schillinger does not go to war with the Muslims, but Robson continues to taunt them at every time he can. Another war does erupt with the Aryans, however, when FBI Agent Pierce Taylor visits. Agent Taylor tells Schillinger that an Italian man named Gaetano Cincetta has confessed to murdering Hank and gone into the Witness Protection Program , because he is testifying against Chucky Pancamo . The Aryans then attack Pancamo in the gym; Robson and Schillinger hospitalize him. The Italians seek revenge, led by Peter Schibetta , who makes an unsuccessful attempt on Schillinger and Robson's life. Schibetta is instead raped for a second time while the Aryans berate him with ethnic slurs (he had previously been raped by Adebisi.) Meanwhile, two new inmates, young suburban white males Adam Guenzel and Franklin Winthrop , arrive. Winthrop is sent to Unit B where black inmate Clarence Seroy tries to rape him. The Aryans save Winthrop only to make him their prag (In Season 1, Schillinger pulls the same move on Beecher). Guenzel is in Em City and Robson wants to rape him but Italian inmate Frank Urbano stops Robson from doing so in the gym.

In the interaction sessions, Schillinger shares Said's hatred of homosexuals, but Said points out that Schillinger has committed Sodomy many times, having raped Beecher and Cyril O'Reilly, among other inmates. Schillinger denies this, and Beecher attacks him in a rage. He convinces Beecher that he is truly sorry for raping him, but is insincere; he plans to get Beecher's friend, Guenzel, transferred to Unit B so he can rape him. Schillinger offers Beecher a job delivering mail to protective custody (an opportunity to see Keller) if he allows Guenzel to be transferred, unprotected, to Unit B. Beecher accepts the offer, as he now wants nothing to do with his former friend, who was sent to prison for rape. Guenzel is transferred and immediately raped. Meanwhile, James Robson has a dental dilemma and must get his gum tissue replaced. Schillinger suggests that Robson see Dr. Faraj, the prison dentist who is of Islamic origin. Because of this, Robson hurls racist insults at Faraj during the visit, and Faraj gets revenge by replacing Robson's tissue by that of a black man. As the whole prison population and the outside Aryan Nation leaders learn of this, Schillinger must reluctantly kick Robson out of the Brotherhood.

Beecher feels Remorse about what has happened to Guenzel, so he attempts to get prison Psychiatrist "Sister Pete" Anunziato to talk to Guenzel. Guenzel is later killed after Schillinger convinces him to escape, however. Beecher testifies against Schillinger, who is moved to solitary confinement. Before he is sent to solitary, Wolfgang Cutler , a man imprisoned for decapitating a homosexual, wants into the Brotherhood. Cutler is told he must kill a high ranking Black inmate for initiation. He targets Said, but it is unsuccessful, as black inmate Omar White attacks him.


SEASON 6


Schillinger is released from solitary on a 6-1 vote (It is assumed that Sister Pete is the one dissenting vote) under the condition that he does not rape any more inmates. He immediately rapes Winthrop, who offers him a deal. Winthrop will murder Beecher's father if he can join the Aryans. Schillinger accepts this deal, and Winthrop kills him after paying the guards to lock him in a corridor. In the meantime, a family friend of Schillinger's, Mayor Wilson Loewen, is on trial for allegations that he assisted the Ku Klux Klan in the racially motivated murder of two young black girls in 1963 . This trial leads to a full-scale race riot in the city, which spreads into Oz, putting the entire prison in lockdown.

When the lockdown is over, Loewen is sent to Oz and is put in Unit J with Beecher. Beecher saves his life, and Schillinger is so grateful that he agrees not to interfere with Beecher's parole, which is ultimately successful. But Keller, whose Death Sentence is overturned, intervenes, and gets Beecher sent right back to Oz.

In a desperate attempt to win back Beecher's love, Keller devises a plan to get rid of Schillinger. During the prison production of '' Macbeth '', in which both Schillinger and Beecher have been cast, he replaces a prop knife with a real one so Beecher will ''actually'' stab Schillinger. Before the play, his sister visits telling him that their father is dying. As he hates his father, he doesn't care. He does realize, however, that he has been set up at the last second as Beecher moves in to stab him in the play's Climactic scene, and sees that he is going to die. Beecher is not even suspected in his old enemy's death.
