In recent interviews, Jeffrey Wright—who portrayed Jim Gordon—reacted to claims that he faced racist backlash after being cast in the role.

He expressed frustration at the notion that society perceives casting a Black actor as Jim Gordon as a form of racial defilation, emphasizing how such reactions are rooted in race-based ignorance.
