According to TVLine, acclaimed actor Michael Chiklis has been casted as Captain Nathaniel Barnes, in Gotham’s Second Season, as a Series Regular.
Captain Barnes is an original character, but fortunately, the Gotham producers have provided an intriguing description. The GCPD’s new captain “lands on the GCPD like a tornado, 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 (Ben McKenzie), 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.”
Michael Chiklis has previously appeared on “The Shield” and “American Horror Story”.
