Chris Chalk's 'Lucius Fox' Is The Latest GOTHAM Character To Achieve Series Regular Status
Another day, another promotion on Gotham! Following bumps for Morena Baccarin and Nicholas D'Agosto, Chris Chalk is the latest guest star to gain series regular status for Season 2 - and according to the show's EP, Chalk's 'Lucius Fox' will have a more vital role this time around...
The main cast of Gotham's second season is getting rather large, isn't it? Chris Chalk is the latest guest star to be promoted to series regular status on the FOX show, having made a small but memorable guest appearance as 'Lucius Fox' in the late stages of Season 1. This news, revealed first by TVLine, should not come as any surprise though, as Chalk was apparently brought onto the series with an explicit 'option to return' during the sophomore season.
When we last saw Mr. Fox, he had a few things to say to young Bruce about the state of Wayne Enterprises. According to Gotham EP John Stephens, Lucius will become "another person who’s going to help Bruce on his journey to find out what happened to his parents and what his parents were doing, and also his journey to manhood and Batman-hood." Stephens also claimed that “[Adult Bruce is] like a science genius, and some of that’s going to come from Lucius Fox.”
Are you excited about seeing more of Bruce Wayne's trusted ally in the future? Were you impressed by what you saw of Chalk last season? And could his increased role signal the start of Bruce's 'extra-curricular' activities - maybe even some... spelunking? As always, leave your thoughts below!
