AceShowbiz - "Gotham" is bulking up the new cast, hiring "Being Human" actress Kristen Hager to play Nora Fries. The character is the wife of new Batman villain Mr. Freeze, who is played by "House of Cards" star Nathan Darrow.
In the comic books, Nora was happily married to cryogenics researcher Victor before he turned Mr. Freeze. "Thanks to her smarts, sincerity and a lighthearted sensibility, she's the only person who's managed to connect with the otherwise emotionally cold cryogenicist," FOX told Zap2It.
When Nora became ill, Victor froze her in the hopes of finding a cure. However, GothCorp cut the funding to his work, which propelled him down a villainous path. "As her condition worsens and her husband becomes more desperate to save her life, Nora must make the ultimate choice: play the willing participant in Victor's mad plan or sacrifice herself to stop the monster inside of him," the description from FOX continued.
Her first episode was shot on Thursday, October 29 but the air date is not yet revealed. "Gotham" airs Mondays at 8 P.M. EST.
