Dark Knight Rises detectives will find interest in this story. White Heat star David Gyasi was recently cast in an unknown role for The Dark Knight Rises and his brief description of who he talks to in the movie has raised some speculation!

According to ThisIsFakeDIY (I know, reliable name huh?) via CBM the actor recently sat down while promoting White Heat to tell a relatively touching story about the casting/shooting process for The Dark Knight Rises, including the names of the characters he talked to while on set.

From ThisIsFakeDIY:

I read you have a part in The Dark Knight Rises – how did that happen?
I was in the States doing pilot season last year, and this audition came up, with this amazing monologue that I was sent. I had to put myself on tape, and I learnt it, worked on it for days and nights and went in there and performed it for this casting director. He was just like, dude, I would like you to come back and read for Christopher Nolan. I said yes I can. I went in, and I met Christopher for the audition; I was really nervous, and shaking. I was staying in LA with an actress who said to me, David, if you feel anything in an audition, just embody it into the character. So I used it, and then I didn’t hear anything for three months. I got back to England and got this call saying, are you sitting down? I got told by both my American manager and my agent over here they want to use you on The Dark Knight [Rises]. 24 hours before, I went on a young walk with my son, then three, and was just thinking, what is the best way for me to provide for my family? Because we’d come through a tight period, and I was wondering if I could continue acting. I had spent a lot of money going to LA. So to get that call was such a godsend, and such a sign. Because I was questioning myself and my ability. The next day, White Heat came through as well! For me, Dark Knight was much more about that moment, about answering questions about whether I could work globally, and also to be able to go in front of a director like that, and for him to say yes, you’re the chap I would like to use. That was life-affirming.

Can you tell us anything about your role in The Dark Knight Rises?
I can tell you a little bit about my experience. I didn’t get a script, so basically I had the audition in my head. I arrived on set, and Christopher Nolan was giving me the lines I had to say. He would literally say, this is what just happened, and this is what you’re reacting to. I know absolutely nothing! I know that sounds like a cop-out, but I was there, and I worked with Tom Conti and a little bit with Christian Bale, but I was there on a need to know basis. I’m hoping that I’m still in the film, as I’m a fan of the films, so I’ll be watching with vested interest!

Debby Downer at ComicBookMovie has a theory about what the monologue could entail as well as where the monologue might be spoken from.

First, check out this picture below from the latest trailer.

This is Tom Conti and Christian Bale in what has been speculated to be a temporary holding facility for the upper class Gotham citizens that might be imprisoned by Bane and his army.

If this is true, then it would be very possible to assume that Gyasi will also play one of Gotham’s elite members stuck in the prison with them.

We have a report detailing what will happen to Gotham’s 1% in the film and confirmation that Bane will appoint Cillian Murphy as the new judge of Gotham to sentence the Gotham social and financial elite to either death or exile, so this monologue of Gyasi’s may be in reaction to being kidnapped, tried by a villain and being sentenced to permanent incarceration.

We know Nolan likes for his smaller actors to have weighty monologues, so it isn’t unthinkable. Could you see David Gyasi bearing his soul about Bane’s attack on Gotham’s wealthy?
