Earlier this week, Latino Review reported that Donal Logue had been offered the part of James Gordon in the upcoming Gotham TV series on FOX. However, the actor himself denied the report on Twitter. Logue tweeted, “Not true! I wish-would be awesome (but who could top Gary Oldman?) From what I heard, Gotham catches Gordon in his late 20’s.”It was an interesting reply, not just because of the denial, but because it suggested that Logue had some knowledge of the casting requirements of the Gotham TV series. Now, Latino Review has posted an update and apology on their original article, stating that they made and error and Donal Logue was actually offered the role of Detective Harvey Bullock on Gotham. The site also revealed that Bullock is described as being in his forties and Gordon’s mentor in the pilot episode.And this time, Donal Logue isn’t denying the report. In response to Latino Review tweeting an apology and update that he was actually offered the Bullock role, Logue responded, “Ha! No problem. It’s only bad if they ain’t talking about you.”The Gotham pilot episode, which focuses on the early days of Detective James Gordon, is being written and executive produced by Bruno Heller, showrunner on The Mentalist.
