'The Flash' Casts Victor Garber as

Alias star Victor Garber (whose other credits include Sleepy Hollow, Louie and The Good Wife) has been cast as Dr. Martin Stein, the other half of Firestorm. He'll make his debut in the first season's twelfth episode and it's described as a recurring role. Variety have an official description of the character in The CW series, confirming that he will indeed become the hero after being bonded with Ronnie. "Martin Stein is described as a brilliant but arrogant nuclear physicist who has sacrified everything, including a marriage, for his work in transmutation. After he discovers the particle accelerator fused him with the younger, more impulsive Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), he races to find a way to separate the two before it’s too late." It's going to be very interesting to see how they handle the character, especially as they're clearly looking at the pre-New 52 Universe as Jason Rusch is currently the other half of Firestorm.

It would be awesome if they did a Firestorm show on CW. Firestorm is one of my favorite 3rd tier superhero in DC comics.

Can anyone confirm if Robbie Amell is a better actor than Stephen Amell? I enjoyed the Flash pilot...but Stephen Amell almost ruined the whole thing in 15 seconds. If Robbie is like him, I'm gonna shoot someone.

I think I'll dress up as Jake from State Farm this year. Khakis and a red shirt with a nametag. The most important thing about a costume is how easily you can drink and take a piss.

I know Martin Stein was the original, but I would have preferred Jason Rusch more. I would say he even is the one the general public knows more of. He was in the Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and The Bold shows. That being said the actor is good.

@MercwithMouth I blame how that scene was written it just seemed forced and unnatural. Stephen Amell's acting in the season 3 premiere was pretty good. He has grown as an actor since season 1.

She sounds hideous.


I usually put one of these on my finger and go as Shark Bit Victim.


I one put a superman towel on the back of a wheel chair and went as Christopher Reeve. I don't think the GF will allow me to do that though.

Gus, makes sense. You already have the adult diapers so all you have to buy is a pacifier and sash.

I think bananero has a good chance of that happening since he asked in a disciplinary and yet tender manner.
