Nicholas D'Agosto To Play 'Harvey Dent' (a.k.a. 'Two Face') In Season One Of GOTHAM
Another iconic future villain has been added to the cast of Gotham's first season, and it's none other than the man who will one day become Two-Face! While some comics have portrayed him as the same age as Bruce Wayne, the casting of this Masters of Sex actor indicates otherwise...
There had been talk of bringing Harvey Dent to Gotham (Donal Logue actually confirmed it when I recently had the chance to speak to him), and now Masters of Sex actor Nicholas D'Agosto has been cast in the role. Recent comics in "The New 52" showed Bruce Wayne and Harvey as being around the same age, but the Batman prequel series will obviously portray him as being a little older than the man he one day fights alongside before an altercation with Sal Maroni transforms him into Two-Face. According to Deadline, "Harvey Dent is a bright, charming, idealistic Assistant District Attorney whose sole mission is to eradicate the crime and corruption that has poisoned Gotham. Although he will one day serve as the white knight Gotham needs so badly as a DA, Dent also gives us a fleeting glimpse of the hideous villain he will become — Two-Face." D'Agosto was set to star in the scrapped How I Met Your Mother spin-off How I Met Your Dad and has appeared in both Heroes and The Office. How do you guys feel about this addition to Gotham?
