Hoewel Gotham heel erg lekker weg kijkt, en het ijzersterk begon. Is het nu op een punt aangekomen dat ik me begin te irriteren aan de jonge versie van Bruce Wayne en ook Cat Woman die over acteren. Maar Robin Lord Taylor (en ook Jade Pinkett aka de vrouw van de frisse prins) is toch wel de grote show steler in zijn rol als The Pinguin. Nu had de website Collider een interview met deze erg opvallende acteur en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.

Collider: When you signed on to do this, did you have any idea how much of a break-out performance this could or would be? Did you have a moment where you thought, "This is a dream role and I'm going to make the most of it"?

TAYLOR: Definitely, once I found out what it was, but there were a series of hurdles, first. Right before I auditioned, I found out what the project was, and I was like, "Oh, my gosh, this is a lot bigger than I thought it would be." And then, they called me to go test for it and I was like, "Okay, now I'm getting closer to this." But I've been close on big things in the past, so I wanted to keep my cool. Whatever happened, it would be fine. And then, I went in and did incredibly well, and I found out that I got it. I was like, "This is really happening." All you want, as an actor, is a part on any show. You want any pilot, or anything. I just couldn't believe it was real. And then, once I read the script, I was just excited and like, "This is something that I really can do and sink my teeth into. This is a big break. This is actually happening." It's so big that it's really hard to wrap my brain around it.

What's it like to see so many people, including Patton Oswalt, talking about your performance on social media?

TAYLOR: I know! How insane is that?! Of all people, he played The Penguin in a College Humor online video. He has such an amazing critical eye, especially for comic book stuff, and he had such a positive response. I'm used to being a supporting player in the background. All I ever wanted, at the very most, was to have a small part in something where people were like, "Oh, right, that one guy, whoever he is, was pretty good in that." That's all I ever really strived for or expected. But then, to have this kind of reaction and to be on this kind of show, and to have people really appreciating my work, the humble Midwestern part of me refuses to believe it. It doesn't feel real, in a way.
