Ethan Slater takes on the role of Thomas Godolkin in Gen V Season 2

The announcement for Ethan Slater joining the cast of Gen V Season 2 was released earlier this year. He already has a long list of movies and TV shows under his belt. Hence, his addition in Gen V Season 2, which gives the viewers a distinct story of the training of the Supes and the world of The Boys, is quite intriguing.

His character, Thomas Godolkin, comes with many layers of secrets. Initially, Thomas Godolkin started off as a behavioural scientist working with the Supes. Soon, he became involved with Frederick Vought and opened Godolkin University with him. Their plans were much sinister than what meets the eye. Godolkin University acted as the front for much darker experiments that were going on behind the public eye.

This can be seen in Gen V Season 2 when the viewers are acquainted with Project Odessa. Thomas Godolkin helmed the project, but it also became the reason for his eventual fate. Project Odessa involved the creation of a serum. However, the serum was not stable.

So when the scientists injected themselves with this unstable form of the serum, it quickly became a lethal situation. Thomas Godolkin tried to warn the scientists, but eventually ended up dying himself, or so it seems. As some of the episodes of Gen V Season 2 are yet to be released, many fans are expecting Thomas Godolkin’s character to make a return.

Ethan Slater started off working in the theatre and quickly gained recognition. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt became one of his early works, after which he starred in Diner. Soon, he moved to working for musicals and bagged the lead role in SpongeBob SquarePants.

His performance soon brought him fame and recognition in the world of entertainment. After receiving a nomination for the Tony Award, he soon shifted his focus to movies and TV shows. He began to appear in smaller roles in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Murphy Brown, Instinct, and many more.

Though he was getting smaller roles in TV shows and movies, in the world of musicals, he was making it big. With Assassins and Camelot, his acting career was propelling at a new speed. In Wicked, he received a major role as Boq Woodsman.

He is also working on the second installment of the Wicked movie and will be playing the role of Boq Woodsman here as well. Some of his other notable works are Good Night, Oscar, Spamalot, and Gutenberg! The Musical!, Elsbeth, and many more. For his performance in SpongeBob SquarePants, he received multiple awards besides the Tony Award nomination.
