Cristin Milioti - Sofia Falcone
After The Penguin Episode 4 finally revealed why Sofia Falcone was imprisoned in Arkham, Cristin Milioti returns as the prodigal daughter of the Falcone family.
Sofia is enraged over the fact that Oz betrayed her again after killing her brother and she starts to make big moves to seek revenge against her former driver and ally.
She tortures Johnny Viti in the early moments of the episode before announcing to the remaining goons and underlings of the Falcone family that her previous namesake is no more. Instead, she wants everyone in Gotham to know that there is a new crime family in town: the Gigante (named after her mother's surname).
Sofia also makes an uneasy alliance with Salvatore Maroni, mainly because they have one common yet dangerous enemy: The Penguin.
The actress also starred in The Wolf of Wall Street, Fargo, and Palm Springs.
Michael Kelly - Johnny Viti
Michael Kelly is back as Johnny Viti, the underboss of the Falcone Crime Syndicate whom Sofia spared in the final moments of The Penguin Episode 4, "Cent'anni," after she killed everyone but him and her niece, Gia, in the Falcone family tree.
In The Penguin Episode 5, Viti reveals the truth to Sofia, telling her that her mother was about to leave Carmine during the night of her death. Viti argues with Sofia to let him help her now, an act that he wasn't able to do to her mother in the past.
However, Sofia killed Viti during the grand family meeting after interrupting her speech.
Kelly's notable credits include Special Ops: Lioness and Jack Ryan. He also starred in the DCEU's Man of Steel.
