'The Shield' Star Michael Chiklis Joins 'Gotham' Season 2
Batman Prequel Series Adds to Cast
By Alex Burns
After the announcement of Natalie Alyn Lind taking on the role of Silver St Cloud FOX’s “Gotham” have made another casting addition this week with Michael Chiklis joining the Gotham City Police Department as Captain Nathaniel Barnes. Chiklis will be crossing paths with Jim Gordon and the production team on the show have spoken a little about the role.
“[Barnes] lands on the GCPD like a tornado,” 'Gotham’s' producers tell TV Line, “ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force. He is a law and order zealot; unafraid of making enemies – on either side of the law. For Gordon, Barnes is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong ally to Gordon… but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.”
Chiklis will certainly be suited to the role of a grizzled police veteran having starred in the hugely successful FX series “The Shield”. We gotta mention his time as Ben Grimm in both of Tim Story’s 'Fantastic Four' movies as well. So it looks as though "it's clobberin' time! for Gotham's criminals! Sorry... we just couldn't resist. We'll keep you guys posted on all 'Gotham' updates as season 2 heads into production.
