AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.: Edward James Olmos Gives Some Cryptic Details On His Character
All we know so far about Battlestar Galactica veteran Edward James Olmos' Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. character is that his name is Robert Gonzales. While that doesn't sound like an established Marvel persona, with this show you just never know! Olmos gives a few interesting hints to CBR...
Every time a new cast member signs up to Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D, fans speculate on whether they'll turn out to be a character we know from the Marvel Comics universe or not. You can't really blame them; after all Mike Peterson became Deathlok, "the Doctor" became Mister Hyde, and Skye turned out to be his daughter, Quake -- and that may just be the tip of the iceberg. We recently found out that fan-favourite actor Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner, Dexter) is the latest addition to the cast, playing someone named Robert Gonzalez. Will he turn out to be an established Marvel character? Olmos didn't comment on that during his interview with CBR but he definitely suggested there's a lot more to this mysterious fellow than we're currently aware.
Apparently his casting came "out of the blue", but already being a big Marvel fan he was very happy he got the call. Olmos also says that it'll be a "short arc. It's only about between three to five/six shows", and most cryptically, of Gonzalez: "Well, I'll just put it to you this way: When he smiles, the whole world smiles with him." he won't elaborate any further, but that should be enough for some of you Marvel nuts to run with!
