AWKWARD Star Ashley Rickards Joins THE FLASH Season 3 As The Top; Captain Cold's Return Set
Another member of The Rogues is gearing up to make their small-screen debut, albeit with a major makeover. A new report has revealed that The Flash has added Awkward star Ashley Rickards as The Top!
E! News is reporting that The Flash has cast Ashley Rickards as Rosalind "Rosa" Dillion a.k.a. The Top and she'll make her debut as the extremely dangerous DC Comics villain in the fourth episode of the upcoming third season.
Rickards' iteration will be a new take on The Top, a male character in the comics, but she'll retain the same metahuman abilities, which are to make people's heads spin. Her version will also likely share a fairly intimate relationship with Grey Damon's Mirror Master as she's being teased as the Bonnie to his Clyde.
Rickards is best known for her lead role as Jenna Hamilton on MTV's comedy drama series Awkward and has also guest-starred on episodes of Zoey 101, Ugly Betty, One Tree Hill, Entourage, and American Horror Story: Murder House. Her film credits include Fly Away, Sassy Pants, A Haunted House 2, and Behaving Badly. She can be seen next in the comedy The Outskirts.
Additionally, episode 304 is shaping up to be a big one for the series as not only will it introduce one of the Scarlet Speeder's most formidable foes in Mirror Master, it will also feature the return of fan-favorite Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. "It's kind of the origin of Mirror Master...We're really excited," teased executive producers Aaron & Todd Helbing, "It's the origin story of him, but it's this struggle between Mirror Master and Captain Cold and you get to see who comes out on top." Sounds interesting enough and while the duo wouldn't reveal anything more, they did enthusiastically express their excitement on working with Miller again.
