TV Line is reporting that James Carpinello (The Punisher, The Mob Doctor) has signed on for a recurring guest role in season three of Gotham, where he’ll play Carmine Falcone’s son Mario Falcone.
The official character description reads: “The son of feared mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Doman), Carpinello’s Mario has rejected his family’s criminal ways and made a legitimate life for himself as a well-respected, Ivy League-educated ER doctor. He’s kind, honest and trustworthy, making him the black sheep of the Falcone clan. But his arrival in Gotham will create major waves in the personal life of Jim Gordon, who at the end of Season 2 left town to find and win back his pregnant fiancee Lee.”
Carpinello is the latest addition to the cast for season three of Gotham following Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch) as Valerie Vale and Maggie Geha (Ted 2) as Poison Ivy.
Gotham season 3 will get underway on Fox on September 19th.
