The Penguin Praises The Penguin
Robin Lord Taylor has been one of the breakout stars of the hit Fox TV show Gotham as Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin. But of course Taylor isn’t the first one to portray the Penguin. In Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, Danny Devito portrayed the Penguin and brought a whole new element to the character.

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Devito was asked about Gotham and Taylor’s performance as the latest incarnation of The Penguin.
When asked if he would be willing to do the show, Devito responded:
"I don’t know about that. Again, it’s all about the schedules and the parts and like how the thing is written and what it would be and there are so many particulars."
So while the chances aren’t high, don’t count out a guest appearance of Danny Devito on Gotham sometime in the future. Devito did have extremely high praise for for Taylor’s performance though:
"I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin. He’s a terrific actor."
Devito is a legendary actor so praise from him is high indeed. Be sure to watch Gotham Mondays on Fox to check out Robin Lord Taylor’s amazing performance as The Penguin!
