Milo Ventimiglia who plays The Ogre in Fox's Gotham, tells the many reasons why it's fun to be the bad guy on the series. He also praises Bruno Heller for being able to create very strong male characters that add great aspects to the series going forward. Hit the jump to check it out!
In a recent interview Milo Ventimiglia (who also played Peter Petrelli NBC's Heroes in 2006-2010), praises Bruno Heller as well as Kurt Sutter for being able to produce a great, male character for him and the rest of his cast-mates to play. "They're strong, they have a purpose and a direction," said Ventimiglia. "I identify with what I am. I'm a man and want to play a great, male character." He then continued, "Thank god for guys like Heller or (TV show producer) Kurt Sutter who give us these great characters for actors to play with."
Milo plays 'The Ogre' In Gotham. He's a menacing character that not even the Gotham City police wants to go near. Ventimiglia says playing that character is truly fun, “We all have it in us to be very dark individuals but hopefully we choose not to be. To play a villain, to play a bad guy, to play a killer, it's fun because it's make-believe and it's complete pretend.” He then tells one more reason why he enjoys playing The Orge. “At the end of the day I get to step off-camera and go back to being myself but as the cameras are rolling I can be as sick as I possibly can."
Talk then turned to Heroes as Milo Ventimiglia revealed why he choose not to reprise his role as Peter Petrelli. "It's hard being the guy that says, 'No, I'm not going back, A — because I wasn't invited, and B — I've moved past that and I grew up and I grew out of that.” He then elaborated, “Had we still been making the show for the last five years it would be a different story. The truth is the show got canceled. It wasn't even that the show ended. The show got canceled."
