The actor who portrayed the Flash in the 1990s CBS series version of the superhero story has reportedly signed on to appear in an updated version that’s in the works at the CW.
TheWrap.com reports that actor John Wesley Shipp will be a part of the new project about the speedy superhero.
Shipp’s role is being kept under wraps by the producers, but it will be a recurring guest role if "The Flash" is picked up to series, the story reports.
Shipp’s other TV credits include MTV’s “Teen Wolf” and The WB’s “Dawson’s Creek.”
A very classy move by the producers. The 1990’s version was a good show that was ahead of it’s time. Nice to see them pay tribute to it.
