Earlier today, we learned who will be playing Captain Cold's sister in the New Year, and now we have some news about who'll be playing Cisco's brother. Come check it out! The CW's runaway hit The Flash returns with brand new episodes in January!
Earlier today, we learned that Peyton List (The Tomorrow People; Mad Men) had been cast as Leonard Snart's little sister Lisa a.k.a. the Golden Glider. Additionally, in a little bit of extra casting news, it's being reported that Nicholas Gonzalez (Sleepy Hollow; Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid) has been cast in a guest spot as Dante, the handsome and charming older brother of Carlos Valdes' Cisco. In addition to being the family favorite, he's also "a gifted pianist, who never reached his potential and secretly resents Cisco’s success." However, "When the brothers are thrust into extreme circumstances, Dante must rely on Cisco if they’re going to survive." It looks like the brothers may be coming face-to-face with the Golden Glider as Gonzalez, along with List, will also make his first appearance of the season in Episode 16: "Rogue Time."
Gonzalez himself confirmed his casting in a tweet, which you can read below:
What do you guys think of today's casting news? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry’s best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along. Barry’s latest obsession is a cutting edge particle accelerator, created by visionary physicist Harrison Wells and his S.T.A.R. Labs team, who claim that this invention will bring about unimaginable advancements in power and medicine. However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost and Barry is struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again – the accident has given him the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. In the months since the accident, the city has seen a sharp increase in missing people, unexplained deaths and other strange phenomena. Barry now has a renewed purpose – using his gift of speed to protect the innocent, while never giving up on his quest to solve his mother’s murder and clear his father’s name. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.
