THE FLASH Casts 'Dr. Martin Stein', The Other Half Of 'Firestorm'
The Flash has chosen an actor to play Dr. Martin Stein, the brilliant but arrogant nuclear physicist who finds himself fused with the younger Ronnie Raymond (The Tomorrow People's Robbie Amell) and turned into the heroic Firestorm. Hit the jump to find out who they've chosen...
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.
