BD Wong Set to Play Professor Hugo Strange on GOTHAM
Earlier this week, it was announced that House Of Cards actor Nathan Darrow had been cast in the role of Victor Fries a.k.a. Mr. Freeze on the Fox series Gotham. It's now being reported by ComicBook.com that Jurassic Park and Jurassic World actor BD Wong will be taking on the role of Professor Hugo Strange. He's obviously playing a younger version of the character. We've known for a long time that this character would eventually show up, and it looks like they've cast a solid actor to bring him to life.
The report says that the series will introduce Hugo Strange when he is hired to run Arkham Asylum. According to Fox, the character "appears altruistic, but he harbors a dark secret." That dark secret eventually makes him "Gotham's greatest threat."
They go on to say that "he'll start innocently enough, seemingly working to rehabilitate the villains of Gotham City, before being revealed as the man behind Indian Hill." Fox went on to explain that Indian Hill is a black-ops program run by Wayne Enterprises, which is "dedicated to creating the ultimate super human... or super villain."
Looks like Gotham is about to get even better than it already is!
