maintaining order in the secret world.
The
65-year-old actor, acclaimed for his theatre work, has appeared in such films
as 1986's Manhunter, 1998's Rushmore and last year's Rise of the Planet of the
Apes.
He also
recently signed up to star in BBC Four comedy Bob Servant Independent.
Other stars
attached to Gotham include The Walking Dead actor Lennie James and former
Hollyoaks star Barry Sloane.
The River's
Michael Green has written the pilot, which will be helmed by I Am Legend
director Francis Lawrence.
