Firestorm debuted on
The Flash with Victor Garber playing Martin Stein, and Robbie Amell playing Ronnie Raymond. However, when it was decided that the characters would be coming over to
Legends Of Tomorrow, a new partner for Stine needed to be found as Amell could not reprise his role as Raymond. That partner came in the form Franz Drameh who plays Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson.
Garber recently talked to Digital Spy about making the jump and his apprehention about it.
"I was nervous about it," Garber said.
"Robbie and I are friends and we had such a great time together, so when it was not an option for him to do [Legends], I was very nervous. But I went in and did a chemistry read with Franz and the minute I met him, I just had this sense that this casting was a really good idea. He's one of the most inventive and interesting people I've ever worked with."
He then went on to talk about what he enjoys most about working with Drameh,
"I love him, and I really find him challenging – he raises my game, because he's so inventive. I think he's a great addition and I think that he provides a dynamic that the show can really use, so it's been great."
With the ever changing, and rotating cast, Garber says that the show really found its footing in season two.
"I think we found our stride in season two," Garber said.
"There's been a huge bump in people's appreciation for the show. "Starting originally with it being eight principals... it's a very challenging day. When you have a scene with eight people, sometimes you can lose your mind... it's really hard. So the changes... I think in a way it's been good."
Legends Of Tomorrow season three will premiere on The CW on Tuesday October 10, 2017.
