Spoiler warning: This article contains information about a character who will be introduced in an upcoming episode of Gotham.

James Remar has joined the cast of Gotham in a recurring role as Frank Gordon, Jim Gordon’s uncle.

According to Fox, Frank is “a master at playing both sides and a man who knows how to keep a secret.” He hasn’t spoken to Jim in 25 years, but has come to Gotham to find his nephew and reconnect.

However, Frank “harbors a dark secret, one that will upset the very foundations of Jim’s world and force him into a terrible choice between saving his family and saving his city.”

James Remar as Harry Morgan in Dexter.

Remar is perhaps best known in recent years for portraying Dexter’s father Harry Morgan in Dexter, and can also be seen as dual-roles in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and recurring roles in The Shannara Chronicles, The Legend of Korra, State of Affairs, and many more. He’ll soon be seen in Hulu’s The Path, which will return for season 2 in January of next year.
