Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia To Guest Star On Gotham
He’ll play the Ogre, a serial killer praying on young women
Heroes alum Milo Ventimiglia is headed to Gotham.
FOX announced today that the actor has been cast in a major recurring role for the DC Comics’ first season — that of Jason Lennon, a.k.a. the Ogre. He’ll make his first appearance in episode 19.
Handsome, wealthy and seductive, the Ogre is a serial killer who has been preying on the young women of Gotham for nearly a decade, luring them into his web and confronting them with a series of “tests” as he searches for his perfect mate. When the women fail to live up to his impossible standard, Lennon disposes of them quickly and viciously.
His obsessions, combined with Gordon’s determination to bring him down, send both Gordon and Lennon — and those around them — on a course toward tragedy.
Meanwhile, NBC is getting ready to resurrect Heroes with a new limited series this summer. Jack Coleman will reprise his role as Noah “H.R.G.” Bennet in Heroes: Reborn, but there is no word yet on participation from Ventimiglia (who played Peter Petrelli) or other former cast members.
Gotham airs Mondays at 8/7c on FOX. Head over to SciFi Stream’s series guide to keep up on the latest with the show!
