Another recurring cast member has been promoted to series regular status ahead of Gotham's sophomore season. This time it's Drew Powell, who portays the lovable mobster, 'Butch Gilzean'. Gilzean spent most of Season 1 as Fish Mooney's loyal right-hand-man, but was eventually coerced into the service of Oswald Cobblepot. He'll continue to work for The Penguin for now, after he inherited Gotham's criminal empire at the end of last season.

Powell is the fourth guest star to gain regular status, joining Morena Baccarin ('Lesley Thompkins'), Nicholas D'Agosto ('Harvey Dent') & Chris Chalk ('Lucius Fox'). Season 2 will also mark the arrival of Michael Chiklis as 'GCPD Captain Barnes', Jessica Lucas as 'Tabitha Galavan' (a.k.a. 'Tigress') and James Frain as her brother, 'Theo Galavan'. Are you looking forward to the show's return?

Gotham Season 2 premieres September 21 on FOX.

It's because him and Bruno Heller, the creator of Gotham and the Mentalist have a great rapport. He was on the Mentalist for quite some time and ended up being a big contender for the identity of Red John. He gave a great performance on the Mentalist.



I just hope Heller brings in Kevin Corrigan! He played one creepy dude and contender for Red John in the Mentalist!

I was SO on board with this show, since i find The Mentalist to be beautifully written (though i've had problems with that show and lost interest, but i digress...), and I've enjoyed Gotham for what it is so far, but It's just not on the same level.
