Warner Bros Television says Donal Logue (Vikings, Sons of Anarchy) has landed the role of Detective Harvey Bullock in the dramatic action series Gotham. The news of Logue’s casting comes hot on the heels of the casting of Zabryna Guevara as Captain Essen, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth, and Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin). Ben McKenzie is in place to play Detective James Gordon.

Per the network, here’s the description of Detective Harvey Bullock: “Jim Gordon’s partner and mentor, the rough-around-the-edges Detective Harvey Bullock plays loose with police procedure, but he gets results… and he does it with old-school, forceful panache.”

The series is based on characters from DC Comics and will delve into the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains that made Gotham famous. Danny Cannon directs the pilot and is on board as an executive producer. Bruno Heller wrote the pilot’s script and is also attached as an executive producer.
