Ben McKenzie shares the stress and pressure he put on himself to perform the fan-loved Commissioner Gordon up to snuff on GOTHAM
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ben McKenzie (Gotham, The O.C.) joins me this week to talk about how the anxieties and insecurities that you may have can sometimes contribute to your appeal as an actor. Ben also opens up about what it was like dealing with early internet hate during his time on the OC compared to how social media has evolved now. We talk about the start of his relationship with wife Morena Baccarin while on set, making sense of life without the lights on, and how to fight through nerves to deliver a confident performance on set.

I honestly really enjoyed the show and felt it got better each season, the finale itself could’ve been better but I think they were always limited by what they could show due to rights to the characters,

@Nirch0 3 года назад

Yea and they were limited to how much season they could have. They said season 4 would be the last one, they had the beg and please Warner bros to continue the show. So it was definitely a fight, it was the best show that I’ve ever watched, the structure of the show was unbelievable and the casting was on point. Phenomenal show, personally I don’t think it had any faults.

I wish Ben had came to Gotham Con, because I would have liked to have told him what a great job he was doing. He put 110% in it, until the end of the show, and you could see the work and effort he really put into the show. It was awesome!

@AzguardMike 3 года назад

the idea is Batman creates the villains. Its a response to him. But by the ed of the Gotham show, they've done the whole Ras storyline, Joker, all the villains are established and in Arkham or on the run or dead. Even Hugo Strange is outed as crazy with Bruce as a kid still.

@@ItApproaches just out of curiosity, Batman books or films fan. Only asking because as a book fan first villain origin rewrites are common; for that matter as a film fan you also get reimagined villain origins frequently, if you count the animated shows and movies.

Honestly, Ben was the PERFECT Year One Gordon. It wasn’t his fault that show got so not great. In fact, I’d argue him along with Penguin carried the show on their backs while the writing got progressively worse as they ran out of ideas. I started watching with the understanding that it’s Gotham Central, but having Bruce be a child when the rogues come along messed it all up. I didn’t need any Bruce or Selina in that show Honestly, the only better cast for Year One Gordon would be Bryan Cranston, the guy who actually played Year One Gordon in the cartoon
