Afgelopen nacht is in Amerika het tweede seizoen van de TV serie Gotham van start gegaan, en daar in gaan nu alle remmen los en wordt het een totale chaos. Er gaan dit seizoen een aantal nieuwe karakters hun intrede maken en één hier van is Carmeron Monaghan die een jongere versie The Joker gaat spelen, en wie de show volgt kon hem in het eerste seizoen al kort voorbij zien komen. De website Collider had een interview met deze acteur en daar van kan je hier onder een klein stukje lezen.


One of the things that your character is known for is his maniacal laugh. How was it to fine tune that and get it how you wanted it to be?

MONAGHAN
: I practiced so obsessively that I lost my voice because I was doing it so much. I heard that I had gotten the role, and then I had a few weeks during winter break where I was thankfully able to sit at home in my apartment, lock myself in, and just stare at myself in the mirror and make weird faces and laugh, obsessively, to the point where I was concerned that my neighbors were going to call the cops on me because I was, at 3:30 or 4 in the morning, laughing maniacally at myself. Similarly, when I found out that I was going to be a part of the second season, I continued to do that. It was beneficial to get to the hotel in New York a little bit early, and be able to work within the space of the hotel and be cut off in a city that I'm not familiar with and where I don't know a lot of people. I was able to focus on that.
