THE VAMPIRE DIARIES' Micah Parker Joins The Cast Of THE FLASH
The latest addition to the cast of the CW's take on the Fastest Man Alive is Vampire Diaries/Mob City actor Micah Parker. Apparently he'll play a character named Clay Parker, and it sounds like he'll have a pretty powerful girlfriend! More past the jump.
Comicbook.com are reporting that Micah Parker will appear in the 12th episode of The Flash, which is scheduled to air early next year. He'll be playing a character called Clay Parker (no relation I'm sure), who does actually have a comic book counterpart -- apparently "Big" Clay Parker was an Alvania University basketball player who popped up in issue #40 of The Brave And The Bold. Pretty obscure indeed, so it's likely they just went with the name and he'll bear little or no relation to that character. The CW provided a description which also suggests that Mr. Parker will have a girlfriend who might end up being familiar to comic fans.
Clay Parker, an inmate at Iron Heights Prison, is currently locked up for stealing money and working with a big-time crime lord in Central City. When Clay’s girlfriend breaks him out of prison, Clay exploits her feelings for him and convinces her to utilize her meta-human powers for one last heist before they leave the city for good.
Any ideas who that could be? The Flash doesn't have that many female villains, and since Killer Frost is already cast...Blackstarr perhaps? It'll be a while until this ep airs but I'm sure we'll get more in information on this in the interim. For now though, speculate away!
