Brian McManamon (Project Beth, Gossip Girl) has been cast as Basil Karlo/Clayface in Gotham.
A description of the character in the comics can be read below:
“Basil Karlo made his first appearance in Detective Comics #40 (June 1940) and was created by Bob Kane. He was a once-famous actor who went insane with rage when he learned thatThe Terror, a classic horror film he starred in, was being remade without him. To exact his revenge, Karlo dressed up as the film’s villain, Clayface, and killed members of the cast in the order in which their characters died in the film.
At that time, Karlo didn’t possess any super-powers, but that all changed when he reappeared in 1989’s “The Mud Pack” story arc of Detective Comics. The four-part series featured Karlo joining forces with the other incarnations of Clayface — Preston Payne, Matt Hagen and Sondra Fuller — to take down Batman. After they were defeated, Karlo imbued himself with shape-shifting abilities by taking samples from his downed allies (who he tricked) and injecting the samples into himself.”
No details on which episode he will be appearing in have been revealed.
