Gotham Receives A Visit From Doctor Fries
While I know that I have been very behind on my reviews, especially when it comes to Gotham, but as soon as I have more time I do plan on actually making up fort he reviews I haven’t done yet. Still, I am always glad to see some new casting announcements fort he show, as it seems they have now officially found the actor, who will be playing the prequel incarnation of Mr. Freeze, Doctor Victor Fries.[1]
The actor is actually Frank
Underwood’s personal bodyguard, Edward Meechum, as Nathan Darrow has been
officially cast in the role. We won’t see him until December, which is a nice
touch and there will be episodes focused on him, which were said to be Episode
12 and 13.
His character
description sounds as follows:
“Though ferociously
smart and eminently capable in his work as one of Gotham’s preeminent
cryogenics engineers, Victor struggles to make meaningful connections with
others. The one exception is his wife, Nora (casting TBA), who has tragically
fallen ill with a terminal disease. Victor’s love for Nora knows no bounds, so
as her condition worsens, he goes to extreme measures to figure out a way to
freeze her before she dies. This harrowing journey leads to his transformation
into the legendary DC villain, Mr. Freeze.”
