Gotham Season 2: James Frain Cast as New Bag Bad

at .  Updated at .

James Frain's resume is getting a little longer.

The actor, who just wrapped up Orphan Black Season 3 and can currently be seen on True Detective Season 2, has been cast on Gotham at Theo Galavan, the brother to Tabitha Galavan aka DC villain Tigress.

Galavan is a new arrival to the city of Gotham, described as sexy, heroic and lovingly devoted to his sister. Apparently he's hiding a centuries old vendetta behind his altruism, and he and Tabitha plan taking chaos to a new level in order to make Gotham bleed, creating new villains while destroying others.

With Gotham Season 1 villain Fish Mooney seeming out of water after the finale, viewers have been wondering what the new direction might be. This certainly helps! The role of tigress has yet to be cast.
