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.
