Cory Michael Smith (pictured) is a virtually unknown actor whom recently appeared in the new movie Camp X-Ray and can be seen in the forthcoming Midnight Rider. Yet Fox and Warner Bros. must have seen something they liked in the young actors performances, as according to EW they have signed him on to the cast of their new TV serial Gotham as Edward Nygma AKA the Riddler.The series is due to air later this year.
Reportedly Gotham's iteration of the character wil be...
"a brilliant young forensic scientist working for Gotham PD and a penchant for speaking in … rather cryptic language. Inquisitive, eccentric and outgoing — yet socially awkward — he wants to be liked, but he doesn’t quite know how."
