Tom Cavanagh is kind of like a legend, since Ed has never and may never get a home video release. Tom, Julie Bowen, etc. Anyway, I'm excited for Flash.

Also, Candice Patton has a sort of similar look to Katie Cassidy from Arrow. At least to me, subconsciously there is some resemblance. Maybe I have too much time on my hands...lol.

Nice casting, but I wonder why they changed his name from Garrison to Harrison.

Good actor, good news. Let's hope the chemistry between Iris and Barry is amazing cause we need a giant female following to make Flash a success.

Tom is a pretty funny dude. Those unfamiliar with him should check out the podcast he does with Michael Ian Black.

That's awesome he'll be on The Flash show!

@SuperSomething616

You'd be wrong for two reasons.
1. Reverse Flash has already been cast
2. It says right in this article that he is going to be the head of S.T.A.R. Labs.
