The Walking Dead’s Benedict Samuel to play The Mad Hatter in Gotham season 3

July 18, 2016 by Gary Collinson

The Mad Hatter is coming to Gotham, with Deadline reporting that former The Walking Dead star Benedict Samuel has signed on to Fox’s Batman prequel series in the role of Jervis Tetch.

Gotham’s incarnation of the Mad Hatter is “a talented hypnotist teetering on the edge of madness. He arrives in Gotham with an unwavering desire to find his sister, Alice, a young woman who went missing in the city years ago. It is anyone’s guess just how far down the rabbit hole he’s willing to go in order to find her.”

Samuel will be joined in the third season of Gotham by fellow new additions Jamie Chung as Valerie Vale, Maggie Geha as Poison Ivy and James Caprinello as Mario Falcone.
