How ‘Gotham Knights’ Star Misha Collins’ Son Convinced Him to Play Batman Villain Two-Face

Kid approved! Misha Collins wasn’t thrilled about the idea of leaving his family in California to play the iconic Batman villain Harvey Dent/Two-Face in Gotham Knights after more than a decade filming Supernatural in Canada — but his son made it an easy choice.“In all honesty, the only thing that made me not want to take this job was the fact that my kids are in Southern California,” the Massachusetts native, 48, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the CW show’s Tuesday, March 14, debut. “The show was gonna film in Toronto and Atlanta, and it was gonna take me away from them quite a bit.

Yeah, I had a really hard time wrapping my head around that, and I broached it with my children.”Collins shares son West, 12, and daughter Maison, 10, with wife Vicki Collins (née Vantoch), who he married in 2001.“My son in particular — who knows well who Harvey Dent/Two-Face is — I said, ‘You know, I’m gonna be filming in Atlanta and I’m gonna be gone a lot if I take this job.’ And he was like, ‘Do it.’ And I was like, ‘Well, honey, listen, I’m not gonna be able to be around as much.’ And he said, ‘Dad, do it, please,'” the Roadfood host recalled.“He was so eager for me to take the role and it actually hurt my feelings,” Collins joked. “He thought it was cool enough that it totally trumped wanting to spend time with his father.

I think both of them are harboring some excitement about maybe potentially having some small feeling that their dad is in one way cool for the first time.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesIt’s easy to see why they’d be excited.

Collins is playing one of the most famous Batman villains, Two-Face. However, Gotham Knights introduces Harvey Dent before he loses touch with reality.
