This article contains spoilers for 'Billions' Season 5 Episode 10: 'Liberty'

One of the funnier performances in 'Billions' Season 5 Episode 10 came from Rick Hoffman's Dr. Swerdlow. Twitter who had earlier seen him as Louis Litt from 'Suits' and fondly remember his role as a brilliant-yet-childish lawyer are now coming to terms with the role of a shady doctor he plays now. Hoffman booked his first role on TV after his nine-year endearing stint in Aaron Korsh's cult series. 

Hoffman is introduced in 'Billions' as Dr. Swerdlow, a medical man with unorthodox methods. Wearing sassy glasses and having grown a mustache, he swaggers into Chuck's (Paul Giamatti) cabin and is compared to the doctor from ‘The Good Doctor’, who has a big heart with little care for money, but when Chuck asks, "And is the doctor here the same?" pat comes the answer, "Nope. Dead opposite!"

'Billions' Season 5 Episode 10: Fans welcome Axe, Wendy's 'overdue' love confession

"I did that "care of patients" for years. But they kept suing me, the f**kers," Swerdlow says. "Now they can f**k themselves unless they're willing to pay me to unf**k them." In the latest episode, Swerdlow crashes the meeting Chuck and Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) have with some familiar faces who have a beef against Axe.

Twitterati was in absolute splits when they saw Hoffman in his new avatar. "Dr. Swerdlow in his 1980’s looking monogrammed tracksuit. I can’t #Billions #RickHoffman," one of the tweets read. Some just stuck to calling him a legend. Another wrote: "@briankoppelman Big Night callback in ep 10 of #Billions . Love it! Oh, and more Dr. Swerdlow in track suit....please!" Another tweet read: "@briankoppelman 35 minutes into ep. 10 & Dr. Swerdlow's maximum impact usage rate is f...ing off the charts! Bravo #Billions !"

This may seem impossible, but now fans want Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), the man who needs no introduction on the show. "Yaaas! We need Harvey! #Billions #suits" a fan tweeted. 'Billions' already has one more 'Suits' actor David Costabile playing Wags on the show, and now fans want one more addition. "David Costabile and Rick Hoffman are KILLING IT on #Billions .... wouldn't mind seeing another Suits alumnus (Gabriel Macht) making a future appearance too!" a tweet said.

'Billions' airs Sundays 9 pm ET/PT on Showtime.
