I found Cameron Monaghan... Cameron Riley Monaghan on IMDB... on international movie database... Cameron Monaghan plays Jerome Valeska... recently on the "Gotham" television series... Valeska.. sounds just like the estonian word.. "Vaalaskala".. the estonian word for "whale".. for "whale" .. is "vaalaskala"... Cameron Riley Monaghan is playing the young fourteen or fifteen year old Jason Todd who is murdered (?) by .. the Joker (?) .. in "Death in the Family", written by Jim Starlin, art by Jim Aparo... Daniel Radcliffe plays the same Jason Todd who Cameron Riley Monaghan plays when he turns out to be alive after all.. and becomes now the partner sidekick of the Peter Gallagher Batman / Bruce Wayne, the earth 2 Bruce Wayne (is Peter Gallagher.. is Peter Gallagher) .. in a "Gotham; no man's land" movie, directed by Chris Nolan.. maybe starring me as actor Nikita Herzegovenia playing the earth 1 Bruce Wayne / Batman.. and Christian Bale as the Batman / Bruce Wayne of the Earth-3A... ben affleck is the Batman / Bruce Wayne of Earth-3B.. "B" for "Ben"...

Personal Quotes (16)

I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types.

I never really do the New Year's Resolution thing. I kind of just try to stay focused, not get too distracted, and do the best I can. And that's something I like to tell myself every year around New Year's.

I was home-schooled for my entire high school experience, so I never went to prom.

I do play the guitar, and I can sing, but just enough to carry a tune.

I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.

With Scarlett Johansson, I always thought she was pretty, but then when I heard her sing, there was just something about her voice that made her really, really attractive to me. And I think she would be fun to hang out with.

I play drums and guitar, I snowboard, I do martial arts and acrobatics. I go to the movies every Friday.

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'Fargo.'

'Prom' is a movie that follows a bunch of high-schoolers' lives leading up to the prom, the climax of the movie. It focuses all their struggles and the social pressures that prom creates on their lives.

The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.

I grew up watching movies and television, and one day when I was really young I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials. From there I moved up to auditioning for movies and television.

I love puppies, and I love animals in general. Besides that, I do martial arts: extreme martial arts. I also play real guitar and drums, and sing. And I'm taking some college classes, hoping to major in English and creative writing.

You can't just look at someone and guess their sexuality. There's no point in assuming that every gay man has just one personality type.

[on the original Shameless (2004)] I didn't know very much about it. I'd never actually heard of the British version when I auditioned or when I got it. I read the script and I was really intrigued by the character because he's so complex.

I think for any teenager, gay or not, sexuality is a really confusing topic. It's something that most teenagers are trying to figure out.

[on inspirations to his character of Jerome Valeska in _Gotham (2014)_] If anyone was to inspire my performance, it would be Mark Hamill's animated Joker, which I think I might have mentioned to you before but his portrayal was the only one that I felt comfortable at all taking anything from, and that's because there was going to be such a difference in translating from animated to live action. (...) the majority of my inspiration, when possible, came from the comic books themselves."
