Ben McKenzie discusses revisiting Gotham's Jim Gordon
Fan Expo Toronto 2024 - Fan Q&A with Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin. Original footage in higher quality with full Q&A.
Transcript:
I don't know if you're aware of this but (- Morena: I remember this moustache drama) but to actually grow a moustache does not happen overnight, it takes time. Television shows shoot very quickly, and we were in the present for the last season until the very end, then we jump forward in time and get onto the moustache, but I didn't have time to grow it, so they just put a thing on my face. I am displeased with it. It was a long conversation and ultimately I relented. I did it because I felt it was right to send off the show, and for the fans, and for everybody at home it was the right move, but it kinda pissed me off that I couldn't grow out the moustache. Yeah. I would like to revisit the character at some point down the road. I'm not sure if I've ever said that before, I mean, I've thought it but I don't remember articulating it. I would actually like to revisit him, you know, at a little later chapter in his life, and I think the moustache would be appropriate. I think the moustache on a 20 year old guy who's a rookie cop, kinda sends the wrong message. A little bit older and then he can pull it off so, I'll grow into it, grow into the moustache.
Gotham, the show that brought riddlebird to a wider audience. Who can forget the canon confession or Ed opting to stand by Oswald to the bitter end. But the story was left untold due to early cancellation. We'd like to #SaveGotham so why not use a #riddlebirdweek prompt for it?
There is going to be another trending event for Gotham on Twitter on July 17, 2021.
I’ll copy the info from the original tweet:
July 17, 2021 is the date for our next trending event. We're asking everyone who loves #Gotham to join with us on that date, to trend the #SaveGotham tag. We'll start at 2 pm UTC.
Our last trending event was May 15, 2021. We were happy to see so much love for Gotham! This time, our goal is to go beyond our total of 11.8k tweets with the #SaveGotham tag.
Here are some do's and don'ts for trending. Please keep these in mind for July 17.
Another important thing to remember: trending depends on a sudden surge in the number of times a tag is tweeted. So don't start tweeting before 2:00 pm UTC on the day we're trying to trend.
To sum it up:
Tweet with the #SaveGotham tag on July 17, 2021 after 2 PM UTC and for however long you’d like.
Avoid using more than two hashtags in a tweet and try not to go over 100 tweets per hour.
If you want to help the tag to trend, quote-retweet others and add the #SaveGotham tag.
Or schedule some tweets if you can’t or don’t want to tweet live. Every little bit would help to get more support for Gotham.
