Robin Lord Taylor instantly became a fan favorite when Gotham premiered last fall, for his excellent performance as Oswald Cobblepot… aka the Penguin. So what does Danny DeVito, who played Penguin in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, think? He’s a fan! Here’s what he told Access Hollywood yesterday at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour:

“I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin. He’s a terrific actor.”

 

Calgary Expo 2013

The Calgary Expo is over for another year. Kudos to the organizers and volunteers that made it a stellar show!

Here are some of the highlights for me

Dina Meyers from The Birds of Prey TV series. Great lady, nice to chat with, AND she responded to one of my tweets!

 

Next was Robert Patrick from Terminator 2 fame, and The Unit! Super guy, chatted with him for 10 minutes! He really took the time to talk to people, very grounded man. 

Weird AL!!! Great guy! took time with fans, very genuine man. 

AND........Scully! Gillian Anderson is a classy lady.

Remembering Heath!

River City to Gotham City

River City to Gotham City: Scots actor Sam Heughan dons the cape in Batman Live

IT'S a long way from River City to Gotham City, but Scots actor Sam Heughan is delighted to be swinging back into Scotland in his biggest role yet.

The former soap star takes to the stage in front of a home crowd as the caped crusader in the stunning new stage show Batman Live.

Heughan has been wowing crowds down south with his lead role in the multi-million pound, stunt-filled spectacular which arrives at Glasgow's SECC next Wednesday.

And while he may be best known for his work in the BBC soap, and as Hugh Tennent in the recent comedy beer adverts, 21-year-old Sam's hit run as the comic book superhero has made him one of the most talked-about young stars in the country.

Batman Live Auditions

Looks like an exciting show!

Actors and drama students lined-up to be seen for lead roles during the Batman Live open auditions. Auditionees came dressed as Batman, Robin, Catwoman, Joker and Harley Quinn, in the hope of being selected to play a part in the show.

Jonah Nolan sets us straight

So by now we all know that The Dark Knight has been nominated for 8 Oscar’s. BUT, it wasn’t nominated in top categories such as Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan…WTF?), and Best Adapted Screenplay. Co-writer Jonah Nolan sent his reaction to the fans at DarkCampaign.com:

hey — not sure who to address this to as it looks like a collective effort, but I just wanted to pass along my thanks.

It's truly humbling that you guys would take the time and effort to try to get the film recognized. I, like you, was disappointed that Chris didn't get some recognition this morning, but for Heath and so many of the people who worked so hard on this thing to get nominated is thrilling.

Any nomination for a comic book movie is a thing of beauty no matter how you slice it, and that takes the sting out a bit. Besides, I've been to the big show before, and, like any of these things, it's a little disappointing. Did you know it's not even an open bar once the show starts? At least this time I would have remembered to bring a little cash so I could buy myself a drink after losing.

The best part of this experience is seeing other people getting passionate about the film the way that we did. It has been a truly incredible experience. So thank you again.

best,

jonah Nolan

We, as fans, what the best for our heroes…including the Gold Statue. However, in true hero form, Jonah is telling us, it’s just an honor to be included.

The Commissioner passes...

Pat Hingle, a veteran actor whose career included a recurring role as Commissioner James Gordon in Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, has died after battling blood cancer. He was 84.
According to IMDB he has appeared in more than 190 film and TV roles. That's pretty amazing, concidering that Tom Cruise has only done slighty more than 30 and we are sick of him already (well I am)
