While we don't know very much about Tom Felton's role in season 3 of The Flash, we do know the actor will be playing CSI Julian Dorn, who will be a colleague of Barry Allen's in the new Flashpoint timeline. Speaking to SciFiNow, the actor revealed that his relationship with Barry isn't exactly the friendliest.
“He’s a forensic expert, so he treads on the toes of much of what Barry is good at,” said Felton. “Hence they have a slightly abrasive relationship at first. I say abrasive, but I mean that — clearly because of the events of the season — none of the relationships that Barry has had with other cast members is the same."
Given his actions in altering the time stream, Barry won't have any memory of the antagonistic relationship between the two at first. "He’s not familiar with me, but I’m familiar with him, so it’s an odd dynamic,” said Felton. “It seems like a love/hate thing at first.” Given his history of playing an antagonist, Felton was asked if Dorn would contrast with his previous roles. “Absolutely not,” Felton laughs. “I would hope the opposite.”
Casting an actor like Felton continues the trend of The CW getting some pretty big names to appear on their shows, including Summer Glau on Arrow, and Mark Hamill on The Flash. Many have speculated that Felton could secretly be playing Dr. Alchemy (who will be voiced by Tobin Bell).
