Milo Ventimiglia comes to Gotham as Jason Lennon, “The Ogre,” starting with the Monday, April 13 episode, and promotional trailers and photos for the episode have teased a connection or scenes between his character and Barbara Kean, who is played on the show by Erin Richards.
Ventimiglia participated in a press call this morning, where he described his character as “smooth and charming” at times before flipping on a dime and being “evil, evil, evil.”
So what is going on between those two?
“He picks a girl up at a bar, and you see what happens,” he says about the Ogre’s M.O.. 
“But if you look at who the Ogre is and what his motives are… he’s looking for unconditional love with a woman, but also when the detectives are investigating him, he chose someone close to them. So you have to ask yourself ‘who is possibly close to Jim Gordon?’ and what that would probably entail,” he teases.
Gotham “Beasts of Prey” airs Monday, April 13 on FOX. Come back soon for more from Ventimiglia’s press call. You can find photos from “Beasts of Prey” here.
