Robin Lord Taylor talks Road from Terminus Trough to Gotham’s Penguin!

Regardless of the new hair-do, you may recognize this man as Oswald Cobblepot (the penguin) from Gotham, but Robin Lord Taylor is no new-comer to Television or the silver screen.

After attending Northwestern University, Robin earned his Bachelor of Science degree in theatre in 2000. Of which, Robin’s roommate at the time was none other than actor Billy Eichner! Whoa!

In 2006 Robin appeared in Accepted as Abernathy Darwin Dunlap and moved on to work on independent films such as Would You Rather, Cold Comes the Night and Another Earth.

Robin also had a two episode stint on The Walking Dead, appearing in Episode 4, Season 4 “Indifference.” His character Sam unfortunately met a pretty grisly demise at Terminus in the premiere of Season 5.

Sorry Robin :/ We don’t mean anything by it.

He has always had a fervent passion for theatre as well. Co-creating and co-starring in Creation Nation: A Live Talk Show with former roomie Billy Eichner. Also worth mentioning is that he appeared in multiple productions in Stephen Sondheim’s Young Playwrights Festival, including Henry IV, No. 11 Blue and White and The Shooting Stage.

Starting in 2014 Robin started his on-going journey as Oswald Cobblepot in Fox’s Gotham. He describes the experience as transformative, playing a character who goes through the whole spectrum of emotions on a consistent basis.

Esquire claims that as Penguin, Robin “steals the show.”

Now that you’re familiar with his breadth of work, watch and listen as Robin talks about his acting process, dream roles, and even discusses his first job EVER (hint: it involves telephones and telephones only). Enjoy!
