- Informaciones:

- La CW anuncia la renovación temprana de "The Flash" para una S2: “Cada una de estas series han ayudado a definir lo que la CW es hoy, una cadena que es el hogar para una programación inteligente, provocativa, de calidad, poniendo la mira en una audiencia adulta entendida,” dice el presidente de la CW Mark Pedowitz. “Al escoger estas series ahora, nuestros productores ejecutivos puedenb empezar a planear las historias de la próxima temporada, y el seguir con estas series durante la próxima temporada garantiza que la CW tendrá más series originales probadas para nuestro calendario de otoño, midseason y verano del 2016.”

- Pedowitz dice que ya está en discusiones sobre el expandir el universo de Arrow y Flash, pero declinó el proporcionar más información. "¿Podría haber otra hora en ése universo? Posiblemente. Siempre y cuando no haya cansancio en la audiencia". "Tienes que ser juicioso. Eso es por lo que estamos en discusiones preliminares. La serie tiene que mantenerse por ella misma".

- El productor ejecutivo de Arrow y The Flash Greg Berlanti, respondiendo a una pregunta sobre un spinoff de Atom (Brandon Routh), le dijo a los periodistas que están "en unas muy tempranas conversaciones sobre una idea muy general". Routh, por su parte, ha dicho que le encantaría seguir interpretando al personaje. “Cuando me propusieron el papel de Arrow, dudé en meterme de nuevo en el mundo de DC. Nunca pensé que interpretaría a otro superhéroe habiendo interpretado, en mi mente, al personaje cumbre. Pero fui con los brazos abiertos, porque aprecio el trabajo de la serie, viendo Arrow y el gran trabajo que están haciendo ahí. Y, sabes, no ha sido otra cosa más que una increíble experiencia, el poder interpretar a un personaje en el que voy y me divierto y ser alegre la mayor parte del tiempo, y divertirme con Emily Bett Rickards, quien interpreta a Felicity Smoak. Todos los de la serie son una gente increíble con los que trabajar, y es genial estar en una serie que es tan querida y apreciada. Me está encantando interpretar a este personaje. Así es que sí, me gustaría seguir interpretándolo tanto como sea posible”. "Con cada personaje que traes a la serie hay una oportunidad, dependiendo de cómo los fans reaccionen y cómo el personaje sea recibido y desarrollado. Sabes han mostrado con The Flash que tan sólo siendo una parte de Arrow eso puede funcionar. Es excitante. El cielo es el límite. DC y la CW han hecho un gran trabajo con las dos series y las plataformas en términos de ser sus propias entidades. Lo que el futuro depara, ¿quién lo sabe? Pero todo es una posibilidad".

- En cuanto a crossovers futuros entre Arrow/Flash, Pedowitz dice que los ve convirtiéndose en algo anual al estilo de los especiales de Navidad de "Doctor Who". Amell dice que los futuros episodios serán incluso mayores. Berlanti confirmó que veremos pequeños crossovers entre personajes (como el que vimos entre 'Felicity' y 'The Clock King' en "The Flash" esta temporada), añadiendo: "Haremos eso unas cuantas veces en la segunda mitad de esta temporada. Eso es lo excitante. Lo hacemos con los escritores, lo hacemos con la gente del elenco, lo hacemos con los especialistas, algunas veces lo hacemos con las casas de efectos especiales. Eso es también de muchas maneras el beneficio de hacerlo. Es realmente divertido para algunos escritores el decir, ‘¡Oh, voy a escribir en Flash esta semana!’ o vice versa. Todo eso siempre da vida y hace las cosas mejor porque tiene una nueva perspectiva todo el tiempo así es que vamos a hecer eso con los personajes también". Aunque en cuanto a qué personajes serán los siguientes, Berlanti respondió, "¡Estamos empezando a contratarlos así es que no puedo decirlo o aumentarán su precio!".

- Kreisberg dice que en cada episodio tiene que seguir reinventándose a sí mismos en cuanto al tema de los efectos de The Flash y que, cuantas más series aparezcan, más se levanta el listón en cuanto a los efectos y que es esencial el hacerlos bien.

- Miller dice que él es el responsable de su reunión con Purcell en la serie. “La última vez que trabajamos juntos fue como hace cinco años, y el primer día que estuvimos juntos en el set, estaba ahí,” dice Purcell. Dice que no estaba esperando el trabajar en THE FLASH, pero que recibió una llamada de Miller quien le pidió que estuviera en la serie, e inmediatamente dijo que sí, porque le gusta el trabajar con él. Y ahora, está impresionando a algunas personas claves: “Mis hijos piensan que es lo más guay que he hecho en toda mi jodida vida”. “Una de las mejores cosas de trabajar con Dominic es que tenemos química, tenemos historia” dice Miller.

- Grant Gustin bromeó cuando le comentaron que T. Wells está entre la lista de candidatos para ser "Reverse Flash", y Tom Cavanagh dijo que sí, que él interpretaba al personaje. Cavanagh dice que si la gente se pregunta si Wells es bueno o malo, que eso le encanta y que significa que está haciendo las cosas bien. Y que todos se están divirtiendo mucho con el proceso. "Su agenda no lo hace necesariamente un tipo malo... Necesita que Barry lo haga bien", dice el actor, aumentando con ello las especulaciones de que su personaje podría tratarse de una versión de 'Hunter Zolomon', una versión del Reverse Flash creado por Geoff Johns y que creía que todo el mal que estaba haciendo era para hacer de Barry un héroe mejor para que pudiera a ayudar a los otros a evitar pasar por un trauma por el que él pasó: la pérdida del amor de su vida como consecuencia de un accidente al que él pensaba que The Flash podía haber llegado a tiempo de evitar. En cualquier caso, sabremos más de esto en el episodio 1.17, donde revisitaremos la noche del asesinato de la madre de Barry Allen desde el punto de vista de Reverse Flash: “No dije que fuera desde el punto de vista de Wells, dije que es desde el punto de vista de Reverse Flash", apunta Kreisberg. "El episodio nueve realmente cambia todo. Algunas cosas, como Barry diciéndole a Iris que la quería -- obviamente eso va a cambiar sus vidas -- pero hay cosas que pasan en el nueve donde incluso los personajes no se han dado cuenta de lo mucho que está a punto de cambiar. Hay obviamente una gran sorpresa en cuanto al personaje de Tom, pero hay includo más sorpresas por llegar."

- Garber y Robbie dicen que están encantados de hacer su papel, que ya han trabajado antes juntos y que disfrutan mucho de su química.

- El nombre de Eddie no es un accidente. Hay muchas cosas planeadas para la serie y la conexión de Eddie con la tradición de 'Reverse Flash' va a dar sus frutos en la segunda mitad del año. Kreisberg añadió, "Eddie tiene una fuerte conexión con Reverse-Flash. No quiero desvelar nada, pero váis a conseguir el punto principal bastante pronto. En el episodio 15, tenéis una pista muy grande". ¿Hay entonces más de un Reverse Flash? Es interesante mencionar que Cavanagh añadió, “hay tan sólo un Reverse Flash.” Esto ha suscitado algunas locas teorías, incluida la que dice que Harrison es una versión mayor de Eddie. “Cuando lleguemos a ese momento y realmente empecemos a analizar los detalles de cuál es ese momento, va a ser muy gratificante para la audiencia. Tiene niveles más profundos. Hay mucho más sobre ello.”

- Está claro que habían dos Speedsters la noche en que la madre de Barry fue asesinada (uno amarillo y uno rojo). Y el misterio de quiénes eran va a tomar relevancia a medida que la temporada progrese. "Joe y Cisco inician una investigación para ver lo que realmente pasó esa noche. Es divertido, cada para de episodios obtienes una pieza gigante del puzzle. Así es que espero que la gente no sienta que lo estamos alargando demasiado. Vimos un corte el otro día, y Greg y yo decíamos, '¡Oh Dos mío, me olvidé de que eso pasaba en el episodio 13!' Así es que sí, definitivamente vamos a descubrir lo que pasó esa noche. Lo divertido es que vamos a seguir viendo ese evento desde los puntos de vista de muchas personas. Había mucha gente esa noche. Estaba la madre de Barry, su padre, los dos Speedsters. Así es que el verla desde distintas perspectivas, es divertido, porque los actores siguen viniendo de nuevo, y tienen que interpretar la escena una y otra vez pero de formas ligeramente distintas. Vemos cosas que no vimos la primera vez, o vemos cosas que llevan a eso o lo que pasó después. Así es que ese evento es obviamente la semilla de toda la historia de la serie. Pero definitivamente obtendréis respuestas."

- Habrá viaje en el tiempo: "Definitivamente por accidente. Hay un viaje en el tiempo inesperado y accidental que está por ellegar, que está hecho tanto por un bis cómico como por oscuridad. Sucede en un episodio por el que estamos realmente emcionados. Es el primer episodio de 'Weather Wizard' con Liam McIntyre" (1.15).

Tom Cavanagh Habla sobre el interpretar a Reverse-Flash, "Finalmente" (cbr)

Tom Cavanagh Habla sobre el interpretar a Reverse-Flash, "Finalmente"
Por Albert Ching, 13-01-15

Since the very first episode of "The Flash," it's been clear that Dr. Harrison Wells -- played by Tom Cavanagh -- had much more going on than just being the head of S.T.A.R. Labs. For starters, it was quickly revealed he wasn't actually disabled as a result of the particle accelerator explosion, as he stands up out of his wheelchair with ease at the end of the pilot. Oh, and also he was in possession of a future newspaper, stating that The Flash would go missing in about a decade's time during a "Crisis."

As the first season of "The Flash" has progressed, the mystery of Wells has deepened, with him often doing morally dubious things -- like, say, murdering morally questionable CEO Simon Stagg -- in the name of The Flash's best interests, while the rest of the main characters remained unaware. Then, last month's midseason finale, "The Man in the Yellow Suit," established a definite connection of some kind between Wells and the Reverse-Flash, who murdered Barry's (Grant Gustin) mother. Complicating things further, the Reverse-Flash and Wells met face to face in that same episode, with the former savagely beating the latter -- all of this generating plenty of speculation from fans online.

This past Sunday, during The CW's "The Flash" and "Arrow" panel at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, Cavanagh stated in fairly uncertain terms that he is indeed playing the Reverse-Flash, though precisely what that means remains to seen as his tale continues to unfold during the next few months of "The Flash." To gain more insight on what it all means for Harrison Wells, Reverse-Flash, The Flash and "The Flash," CBR News sat down one-on-one with Cavanagh immediately following the TCA panel for an in-depth interview on what's coming next, and the fun of playing his complex role.

CBR News: Tom, at the panel, you stated that Harrison is Reverse-Flash. But it can't be that simple -- right?

Tom Cavanagh: Or can it be that simple? As a betting man, I would wager that it can be that simple. On the other hand, I'm not a keeper of the flame. These guys no doubt have stuff up their sleeve as we progress.

For my own edification, I'm so very happy to finally be able to talk about it. It's the reason I signed on, and for six months of just dodging and parrying and deflecting, I'm happy to be able to talk about Harrison Wells and the Reverse-Flash, finally.

Have you kept an eye on all of the speculation that's centered on your character the past few months?

Leaving myself out of it, I think there's two levels here. One of the most enjoyable things about doing this show is these guys, like Andrew [Kreisberg] and Greg [Berlanti] and Geoff [Johns], are not interested in just teasing stuff along. The perfect example of this, it doesn't really involve me, is the Iris/Barry storyline. That's the kind of thing that in other hands, on other television shows, you'd see that going on for years -- longing gazes. You know how it works, you've seen it a million times. We're not doing that here. Stuff that would be a season-ending cliffhanger, to us, is just another episode.

They did the same thing, I feel, with the Reverse-Flash. Because they're so open in getting things out, it was nice for them, and I think nice for the viewers, to have stuff to mash on, stuff to consider, and stuff to question. I think the Reverse-Flash is a very good example of that. Even though we've done a bit of unveiling, there's a lot of questions about well, who is Harrison? Because Harrison is completely necessary in furthering Barry's agenda, which is good for humanity, and good for Central City -- it's a positive thing.

What is Harrison's persona to the Reverse-Flash? Will these good things keep happening? It gets a little complicated, and I think that's good. I think a lot of the speculation has been, what I've encountered in social media, "Is he good or bad?" I understand that, but honestly, in this iteration, it isn't that simple. It can't be that simple. You want Barry to succeed, then you can't just paint Reverse-Flash as bad, because Harrison and Reverse-Flash are responsible for helping Barry achieve his potential. And the reason that happens is, that helps Reverse-Flash achieve his potential. Eggs get broken along the way, certainly that's bad, but at the same time, there's complications to it. How do you sustain the Harrison Wells persona as the Reverse-Flash persona gets unveiled further? I think that's interesting. Does he just disappear? Well, no, he doesn't -- why doesn't he? That's all tied in, organically so.

It's explained clearly and satisfyingly. There's resolution. Even as season 2 has been unveiled to me, there are unexpected storylines that explain things, and allow us to sustain things, that make perfect sense. Joe West's pursuit of who the Harrison Wells character is, for example, is just a brilliant storyline. I guess the word, which you don't often run into television but I really like, is there seems to be a real respect for the guys who do our show, and the core community they do it for.

How do you translate all of that into your performance -- as you described, being so many things at once?

It's so much fun. It's just so much fun to do that. Any actor will say, when you get a chance -- not even a chance, an obligation -- to delver lines that have two different meanings, or come from two different places, or play on two different levels, that's tremendously enjoyable. It's been really enjoyable, because the way I always approached Harrison Wells was not from the Harrison Wells character, but rather the reason to be here for me was the Reverse-Flash. So approaching the Harrison Wells character was actually approaching it from the truest sense of who I am, and that is the Reverse-Flash. And there are little things in my performance, that if people ever were to rewind all of it -- God, I don't know why they would do that -- but when they would, there are moments when, as Harrison Wells, he completely unveils himself. Takes off the glasses and is essentially saying, "Take a good look." That's not an accident where I'm just like, cleaning glasses, but rather, it's like, "Uh-huh, uh-huh. Keep talking about who killed your mother. Uh-huh." There's stuff like that in there.

It's delicious to play. You're not just playing one character, you're playing two. And you're hiding one, but then you're unveiling it at some point. How real is Harrison Wells? There's a lot of different levels at play. What's great about it is, it's all been thought out by guys much smarter than me. [Laughs]

Since we can talk about Reverse-Flash, I'm going to get geeky with you: There are a couple of different Reverse-Flashes in the comics. None are named Harrison Wells. Is there one you see your character close to? To me, the character seems a lot like the Hunter Zolomon Reverse-Flash from Geoff Johns' "Flash" run -- he believed he was acting for the greater good of the Flash.

To me -- to me -- there is one Reverse-Flash. I think I'm not going to get in right yet to the specifics of it, but that is, as I approach it, when I play it, that's the starting-off point.

You have a clear idea.

Absolutely. A hundred percent.

Which is what you've been doing since you signed on -- you always knew this was the plan?

A hundred percent. That was the reasoning. That was [talking to] Andrew Kreisberg -- I've worked with him before, this is like my third show for Greg -- "Am I a scientist? Uh, no…" Literally, the door closes. "Sit down." I'm like, "Oh!"

In fairness, I will say they've done a great job with the complexities of the Harrison character, as well. At first, I thought it might just be a guy spouting scientific terms. But he's damaged, and there's history there, there's aloofness and arrogance and intelligence. All that alone has been fun to play, then coupled with the fact that he also has this colossal secret. It's been great. And any time you get to put on a superhero suit is a good day.

Have you done that?

Oh yeah. In episode nine, which we've seen, there's a massive fight between Barry and Reverse-Flash.

And that was you in the suit?

It was, and we had to like, vibrate it. But I've got some great shots of just Grant and I -- because it was finally like, "OK, here we go. We're finally doing the thing." That particular scene, we had a major league football stadium all to ourselves, shooting at 4:30 in the morning, with incredible production value, wearing suits and blood and all that kind of stuff -- if you were to tell your 6-year-old stuff that you have this to look forward to, it'd be a pretty happy day.

That's interesting that was actually you, because from the way it plays out on TV, it could have been anybody in the suit.

It could. We definitely have stuntmen and all that kind of stuff, but both Grant and I like to do that stuff, because that's who we are.

Well, why wouldn't you want to do that?

That's exactly it: Why wouldn't you?

To wrap: Try any new snacks lately? [Cavanagh and his former "Ed" co-star Michael Ian Black host the podcast Mike and Tom Eat Snacks, where they review snacks.]

We have two new episodes out on [Mike and Tom Eat Snacks]. We're actually looking to do a new one tonight if I have time. I'm glad you're on the MATES train.

I'm just a big fan of snacks!

Likewise! The power of snacks. People love snacks.

Desde el escenario al Superhéroe: Grant Gustin de The Flash siempre ha estado en la vía rápida
Por Sam Thielman 11 enero, 2015, 11:53 PM EST

It's the biggest show on the CW and on track to become the network's most-watched series ever. The Flash, it appears, really can outrun everything.

As with any prime-time property, especially one on the vanguard of a comics-driven movement reshaping the television landscape, it is essential to get the right guy to play the lead. The network found an unlikely—but ideal—superhero in Grant Gustin, whose most recent major role had him playing a conniving villain, the backstabbing Sebastian Smythe, on Fox's Glee. In The Flash, the six-foot-plus, 24-year-old theater veteran plays a crime-fighter who hasn't quite grown into his mask yet. It agrees with him.

You started out dancing before you played a superhero who runs, right?
Yeah, kind of from an early age I just did what I loved to do, which, at 8 years old, became tap dancing.

Why was that?
Because of Gene Kelly and Singin' in the Rain, specifically, and Donald O'Connor. I mean, I watched that movie hundreds of times probably, and I had played soccer and baseball growing up and was starting to lose interest. My mom said she would watch me watch that movie and others like it over and over again and eventually just kind of made me take an all-boys tap class, because she knew deep down that I would love it. And I resisted, and of course ended up loving it. I joined a community theater, and from 10 to high school, I probably did 30-some musicals.

You did theater professionally after that, correct?
I lasted two years at Elon University before I auditioned for the Broadway tour of West Side Story on my spring break. It, like, lined up perfectly with my spring break. Had a call-back the last week of school, during exams, and was able to get away, and found out I got it when I was doing summer stock theater that summer. I met my manager, Robert Stein, when I was performing at the Pantages [in Los Angeles], and he told me that he thought that I would do really well in L.A. and he wanted to start working with me. I just submitted tapes from the road, ended up having a call-back for Glee. Got Glee, one thing led to another, and now I'm the Flash.

Wait, back up. You were in the last production of West Side Story? The one that Arthur Laurents, the original writer-director, mounted right before he died?
Yes. Really it was the last production that he cast and he was involved with the Broadway production and everything, but we were the tour. We were the last company of anything that he had his hands on. He was there in Detroit with us when we were teching the show, and he was in a lot of the final rehearsals in New York at 42nd Street Studios. I was able to shake his hand, and I talked to him for a few minutes at one of my first auditions and that was about the only interaction I had with him. But yeah, he was involved with our show and it was pretty special.

Do you ever miss the theater?
All the time. But I know that I will absolutely be back in the theater—I would imagine many, many, many times over the course of my career, so I'm just kind of enjoying what I'm doing right now, because I never expected this.

So, this being your first big break, what do you want your career to look like?
I'd love to kind of go the Joseph Gordon-Levitt route, and do a lot of really good independent films that I love, and I'd love to get back to the theater in the next couple of years, if possible, just when we're on a hiatus. Those are kind of the two things I want to check off my list next, I guess.

You're kind of in an action-movie zone now on The Flash. How much of the stunt work do you do yourself?
Well, I'd be working 16-hour days every day if we tried to use me for everything. I mean, the crew works 14 hours a day and I'm right there with them most of the time. But as far as the stunts are concerned, I probably do about, I mean, 50 percent, and that 50 percent being mostly stylized movement type things. When it comes to throwing the Flash through a glass plate or pulling him through something, my stunt double will always do those things, cause they'll never let me do it. There's a lot of choreography-type things, just sliding into frame or stylized movement that I always like to do just because I want to. I think my dance background does come into play sometimes when it comes to the quality of movement I want to bring to the character.

Were you a DC fan beforehand?
Oh, yeah. I've actually got a Superman tattoo on my left arm. I'm a lifelong Superman fan.

What has been your favorite thing to do on set?
To be honest, I love the straightforward acting scenes because it's such a technical show and it's got a lot of stunts and special effects. I'm running around in a friggin' superhero suit, for Chrissakes. So I especially love working with [Jesse L. Martin, who plays the family friend who raised his character], and I get to work with Tom Cavanagh and Danielle Panabaker and the whole cast, but especially my scenes with Jesse Martin—those father/son scenes that get to the heart of the show, and the heart of those two characters. That's the most fun to me.

One last thing. I have never not heard a superhero actor complain about the suit. How is it?
Well, what we had in the pilot took a few people to help me get into, just because it was all one piece and it was just heavy, thick material. But there were some changes made after the pilot, and it essentially looks the same, but I can pretty much get in and out of it by myself. It's nice to have some assistance! On a hot day it is miserable to be in, and borderline dangerous to be in I think [laughs]. But thankfully it's not often hot in Vancouver. On the cold days, it's not so bad, to be honest. And at this point, it's not that uncomfortable either. It's a pretty soft material and it's not the worst thing to be in. The mask, on the other hand, is the worst thing to be in. I'm thankful that it comes on and off.

I think at least one Batman had veins of water running through the suit so that he could survive the various takes.
Yeah, that's not uncommon. I think John Wesley Shipp (who plays the Flash's wrongly imprisoned father) had that back when he was The Flash [on CBS, briefly, in 1990], too.

Did you watch the old show?
After we finished our pilot. I love it, actually. I love all that stuff. I loved the George Clooney Batman when it came out. When I was a kid, I loved that stuff, and I loved the Christopher Reeve Superman. I mean, the first Flash TV show was the year I was born, so I didn't watch it live.

- El actor Devon Graye interpretará al imitador de 'Trickster' en el regreso de Mark Hamill:

La CW acaba de anunciar que el actor Devon Graye (más conocido por su papel del adolescente Dexter Morgan en "Dexter") actuará frente a Grant Gustin y Mark Hamill en el próximo episodio 1.17 de la serie de la cadena "The Flash".

Graye interpretará a "Axel/Trickster," un joven imitador del veterano Mark Hamill que repite en su papel de la serie de los '90, encarnando a 'James Jesse', también conodido como 'The Trickster'.

'Axel' es presumiblemente 'Axel Walker', el segundo 'Trickster' de los cómics que fue creado durante la etapa de Geoff Johns. Él se hizo cargo de 'Jesse' en los Rogues cuando éste se enderezó y estaba trabajando para el FBI, robando el original traje de Trickster y sus armas y adquiriendo algunos nuevos juguetitos con los que divertirse.

Basado en las anteriores informaciones, se ha especulado con que será la aparición de 'Axel' lo que lleva a 'Jesse' a trabajar con las autoridades, al estilo de Hannibal Lecter cuando ayudó a derrotar a su imitador.

La fecha exacta de la emisión del episodio aún no se conoce.

- Las estrellas de Prison Break se reunen para aplastar a The Flash: 'Es como Cazafantasmas' (TVLine):

Las estrellas de Prison Break se reunen para aplastar a The Flash: 'Es como Cazafantasmas'
Por Vlada Gelman / 15 Enero 2015, 3:58 PM PST

It’s a cold and rainy mid-October night on the streets of Vancouver, Canada, and TVLine is on hand to watch The Flash face off against two worthy opponents: Prison Break‘s Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows!

Well, sort of.

On next Tuesday’s episode of the hit CW series (airing at 8/7c), Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell team up as the Rogue villains Captain Cold and Heat Wave. It’s a Prison Break reunion that has been in the works since Miller filmed his first episode of the comic book show, during which he was approached by executive producer/DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns with a character description of Heat Wave.

Asked who he would like to play his partner-in-crime, “The first and only name that emerged was [former Prison Break co-star] Dominic Purcell,” Miller says while taking a break from filming the hour, titled ‘Revenge of the Rogues.’ “Never in a million years did I think that they would be able to pull that together, but I’m so excited that they did.”

Purcell recalls getting a phone call from his agent that he had been offered a role on The Flash, followed by some coaxing from his former costar. “[Wentworth] actually sent me an email saying, ‘Come on board, it’ll be fun!’ And I said, ‘Absolutely!’” the actor shares. “Wentworth’s a very dear friend of mine, a very close friend, so it’s always a pleasure.”

The casting coup made for a “happy” reunion between the former “brothers,” who’ve only been able to stay in contact via email since Prison Break ended in 2009 thanks to conflicting schedules and geography, Miller explains. But despite how much time had passed since the actors last saw each other, they were able to pick up right where they left off when they met up again in Vancouver.

“It’s a little strange calling each other by different names, but we have a kind of natural rhythm at this point, a certain rapport,” Miller describes. “We played brothers for four years, so there’s just something that builds up over time. I know his style and he knows mine, and it’s brought an extra layer to these two characters and their relationship. Because they do have a history, Cold and Heat Wave, and it was nice that we already had that bubbling on the stove.”

But first came the work of developing the infamous comic-book foes, with whom both actors admit they weren’t very familiar when they landed the roles.

“What I responded to was this very powerful guy, who has been at the top of his game for a long time and maybe he’s gotten a little bored, a little complacent,” Miller says. “Then this extremely worthy adversary shows up and suddenly the game’s interesting again. While he has it out for The Flash, on some level, there’s also an appreciation and a certain degree of respect.”

As for Heat Wave, he “invokes a hot head,’ Purcell describes. “I’m bringing an animalistic kind of [growl] to him, and Wentworth’s playing it ice cold.” Underneath all that fire is also “a human side. There’s tragedy. He was burnt, severely. His whole body is burnt. So there are certainly metaphors of tragedy within him.”

With such an unpredictable partner, Captain Cold takes charge and his “responsibility is to rein in Heat Wave and develop a bit of a moral code, if you will,” Purcell says.

Adds Miller about the dynamic: “Everyone is potentially a pawn as far as Cold is concerned. Much like myself, Cold is a solitary, lone-wolf kind of character and may occasionally enjoy having some company. So there is a push-pull between the two. They aren’t friends, but they do have a kind of intimacy.”

But to defeat The Flash, they’ll definitely need to band together, especially since the speedster isn’t one to back down. After filming the aforementioned big, fiery fight sequence with star Grant Gustin, Purcell describes the movie-like production as “ambitious.”

“Cold and Heat Wave are working together to bring down the Flash,” he says of the scene. “We’ve got our guns – I’m firing a heat wave, and Wentworth’s firing a cold gun. It’s all about crossing streams. It’s like Ghostbusters!”

- The Flash: Grant Gustin sobre cómo Barry se adaptará en el despertar de 'Reverse-Flash' y enfrentará nuevas amenazas (IGN):

The Flash: Grant Gustin sobre cómo Barry se adaptará en el despertar de 'Reverse-Flash' y enfrentará nuevas amenazas
Por Eric Goldman 18 de Enero 2015

By Eric GoldmanHaving gone on a break for a few weeks as the holidays hit, The Flash returns this Tuesday for the second half of its first season – and on the heels of the big news that the show got an early renewal for Season 2.

The same day the renewal was announced, I sat down with The Flash himself, Grant Gustin, to discuss what’s to come when the show returns, including how Barry Allen is dealing with the Reverse-Flash and new threats like Heat Wave and Peek-A-Boo. Plus, what does he think about the potential for The Flash to meet Supergirl, should CBS and CW allow crossovers?

IGN: When we left off, Barry had faced Reverse-Flash and really found himself unable to defeat him. Where is he at coming out of that?

Gustin: I think because of the talk that Barry has with Joe after that fight and everything, I think he’s not necessarily down on himself. I think he’s ready to move forward. Cisco has come up with new ways for Barry to train and Barry’s kind of refocused his energy on being ready for the next time and not really beating himself up too much for losing the first battle. He also gets distracted, as usually happens - he’s distracted by other villains coming in and other personal things in his life. Barry isn’t really weighed down by anything. I talked about it a lot earlier on, but in general with Barry -- Geoff Johns said it best -- is with an anchor you don’t cut it off and leave it at the bottom of the ocean, you pull it up and carry it along with you. He lost that battle with the Reverse-Flash but it’s not going to stop him. He’s going to keep moving forward and he’s going to be ready for the next time.

IGN: At this point, we have this knowledge of all of these things going on with Wells that he doesn’t have. Is he still 100% trusting in Wells?

Gustin: Yeah, when we come back with episode ten, it’s still 100%. Barry has no other option or reason for anything else at this point. Wells has been there for him. They’ve had their moments and they both can be emotional characters but Barry still trusts Wells with his life at this point, when we come back.

IGN: The next episode is the one I was on set for back in October, with Heat Wave’s introduction. Barry faced Captain Cold on his own and found him pretty formidable. Now that Captain Cold’s come back with a partner, how does Barry deal with that?

Gustin: It changes things. it’s unexpected, first of all, initially. It does prove to be too much in some ways and Barry needs some help, some back up, and many more people are about to find out about the Flash’s existence and not just the rumor of ‘The Streak’ but that there is this superhero protecting the city. And that is because there is, as you saw, a very public battle that’s going to take place.

IGN: Have you started filming the episode with Mark Hamill yet?

Gustin: No. I haven’t even read that script yet.

IGN: Are you excited about that though?

Gustin: It’s unbelievable, kind of. All the guest stars have been really amazing. Victor Garber, the fact that we got him blew my mind. Clancy Brown, who’s been in so many award-winning films and Tom Cavanaugh is a series regular, and Jesse L. Martin I’ve been a fan of my whole life. But Mark Hamill, that’s kind of a different type of holy s**t, you’re one of the most legendary iconic characters of all time. So it’s really f**king cool and I’m really excited to meet him and his storyline has some really cool twists involved that are connected to his stint from 25 years ago on the Flash which is cool that we’re doing that nod. It’s really exciting.

IGN: You mentioned Victor. I was talking to Greg [Berlanti] earlier and he mentioned there’s a big two-parter that’s firestorm related. Obviously Ronnie is an important person in Caitlin’s life but how will it affect Barry and what’s Victor’s role in it all?

Gustin: We don’t really know what’s going on with Ronnie at this point. He saved Barry’s life but then he said don’t try and find me and he flew away. So at this point, we don’t know what’s going on with Ronnie. He’s clearly on himself at this point and as we introduce Victor’s character, it’ll start to become more clear why he’s not himself and what exactly is going on. They’re both, first of all, a joy to work with. Robbie [Amell] and Victor they’re just two of the sweetest, nicest men and they’re so excited to be here and it’s great.

IGN: Seeing Reverse-Flash in action and what his abilities are, could that work as motivation for Barry to start seeing how much more he can do?

Gustin: Yeah. I mean Barry knows he can push himself now and Barry’s known that all along, but now he knows in more specific ways how he can push himself and how to measure his speed to. Because he knows “I have to be faster”, whatever that means. “I have to be better and faster than Reverse to stop him,” so it does set a bar.

IGN: Greg was mentioning we’re going to meet Peak-A-Boo on the show soon. Anything you can say about that?

Gustin: Yeah, that was… What is that, episode twelve? That’s a different kind of episode. I liked it. I hate giving away too much, but yeah, that was a different kind of episode because that episode was about relationships, in general, between our villains and our regulars. I can’t give away too much about that storyline because I don’t want to and most of her stuff is with her partner, her villain partner/boyfriend character. I wasn’t there for much of it but it’s a really interesting character. It’s really different from any other villain we’ve had on the show. It’s one of the ones you kind of feel for. That whole episode focuses on relationships between all of our characters.

IGN: Seeing Reverse-Flash in action and what his abilities are, could that work as motivation for Barry to start seeing how much more he can do?

Gustin: Yeah. I mean Barry knows he can push himself now and Barry’s known that all along, but now he knows in more specific ways how he can push himself and how to measure his speed to. Because he knows “I have to be faster”, whatever that means. “I have to be better and faster than Reverse to stop him,” so it does set a bar.

I wasn’t there for much of it but it’s a really interesting character. It’s really different from any other villain we’ve had on the show. It’s one of the ones you kind of feel for. That whole episode focuses on relationships between all of our characters.

IGN: Of course, as the show goes on we’re naturally going to meet more villains but with Heat Wave and Captain Cold and the Peak-A-Boo storyline, we are getting more and more multiple threats at the same time for Barry, so does that become an issue for him?

Gustin: Yes, and that’s why Barry hasn’t been able to stay focused on the Reverse-Flash. It’s in the back of his mind, getting ready for that and training for that and being mentally prepared, but yeah there’s a new foe all the time.

IGN: You just got word you’ve been given an early renewal for Season 2. The show’s been so well received - has it been amazing to see that it’s all clicked in like this?

Gustin: I hate to say - it’s not like we expected it, but it’s also not surprising me, I guess. It’s why I was so excited to get to be a part of this early on. I knew it was a character that was long overdue, and that if they did the effects right, which seemingly they were going to do with early stuff they showed me… I’ve been excited since the very beginning because I knew that we had the potential for this type of success. We all feel really fortunate and I’m having so much fun. I’m just glad I get to do more of it. It all feels like one, big experience thus far. I don’t think I’m going to really be able to look back and appreciate each little moment until this first season’s over. Maybe even later down the road, I don’t know. It’s all just one big thing that I’m kind of a day at a time right now. It’s hard to look at the big picture.

IGN: Because you’ve now had those sort of kid dream moments of putting on the costume yourself and the Arrow team-ups, do you still get those moments of, “Oh, wow!”, when you see a couple new villains show up in their costumes?

Gustin: Absolutely. Any day could be like an overwhelming day and might be a day that I’m just exhausted or sick even or just having a hard time being there. But coming back from the two week break with the holidays, I felt so grateful at the end of every day. Being back, it was so nice and I think I said out loud at least two or three of the days, by myself, in my apartment, after I got home, “That was a good day.” I have those moments all the time. Victor [Garber] was one of those moments. Getting to meet Victor… And I shot a flashback scene with Victor that takes place on the day that Barry was struck by the lightning. We get to see Barry and Stein have a moment together before that happened. And to shoot a scene like that, I was pinching myself.

IGN: It’s hard for a comic fan like me not to get excited whenever there’s the prospect of the crossovers and whatnot. Have you thought about the possibility of a Supergirl crossover, should that become possible?

Gustin: Supergirl, yeah. It also is exhausting to think about. But, if they’re like, “Hey we’re doing Supergirl now and we want the Flash to be on a Supergirl episode,” I’m going to get excited about that and then after that worry about how we’re going to make it work. But yeah, of course! I’m down. I’m down for any type of cool crossover as long as we can make it work.

- Dominic Purcell habla sobre Heat Wave (extratv):

Dominic Purcell habla sobre Heat Wave
19 Enero, 2015

Get ready for a “Prison Break” reunion on “The Flash” on Tuesday when Wentworth Miller aka Captain Cold meets up with Dominic Purcell, who is joining the show as Heat Wave.

ExtraTV.com caught up with Purcell on the set in Vancouver to find out about his hot new role as pyromaniac and Rogue member Heat Wave!

Q: Did you read the comic books to prepare for the part?
DP: No [chuckle]. No. It was basically finding the character on the floor, really. Heat Wave, it just invokes a hothead. I’m bringing an animalistic kind of [growls] to him, and Wentworth’s playing it ice cold.

Q: Is there a human side to him as well or is he just wreaking havoc?
DP: No, there’s a human side. There’s tragedy. He was burned, severely. His whole body [indicates arms and chest] is burned. So, there are certainly metaphors of tragedy within him.

Q: Will we be seeing that, and if so how long were you in makeup?
DP: Yeah, you will see it. Pretty extensive process… he’s pretty severely burned under all this stuff. [The process took] a couple hours.

Q: How would you describe Heat Wave?
DP: I see him as a likeable villain. I don’t think he’s as psychopathic as the Joker, but he’s still a badass. I don’t think you would describe Heat Wave as “evil.”

Q: What’s Heat Wave’s relationship like with Captain Cold?
DP: Wentworth’s character is in charge, and his responsibility is to kind of rein-in Heat Wave and develop a bit of a moral code, if you will. There are certain things that we will do and certain things that we just won’t do. At this point, Heat Wave is a likeable character, but they’re anti-heroes.

Q: Is there a power struggle between the two?
DP: There is a power struggle going on at the moment. Cold is calling the shots, and I think that’s part of the character development… from what I’ve been told, as the series progresses, Wentworth’s character starts to really shape and have an influence on Heat Wave and they become buddies.

Dominic makes his debut on The CW’s “Flash” on Tuesday at 8 PM.

- Barry está a la caza de Reverse Flash mientras que el Captain Cold regresa (EW):

Barry está a la caza de Reverse Flash mientras que el Captain Cold regresa
Por Natalie Abrams 19 Enero, 2015 at 5:58PM

When The Flash returns, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) will be determined to take down the Reverse Flash, but it may not be as simple as looking to Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) for answers. Though it has been revealed that Wells is actually the man in the yellow suit, Barry still doesn’t suspect anything amiss with his mentor.

“Barry is still defending Wells and still trusting of Wells at this point,” Gustin tells EW, noting that there’s “still more to find out” about the Reverse Flash reveal that will shock audiences. “There’s a big twist that even surprised me. I’ve seen all the predictions online. No one has predicted the big twist that’s coming at the end of this season.”

When we pick back up with Team Flash, the scarlet speedster is training to match the Reverse Flash, which is no easy feat. “He’s trying to get faster and not just straight up speed, but his agility and maneuvering within it and what he can do with this speed,” Gustin says. “He has a bar set. He has to be at least as fast as the Reverse Flash. That’s what he wants to focus on, but as per usual, other things start to get in the way and Barry has to focus on other things.”

Those other things include the return of Leonard Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and the introduction of Mick Rory, a.k.a. Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), who team up to take down The Flash. “It’s a very powerful love/hate relationship,” Purcell says. “My guy is volatile. He’s a force of nature and he needs to be reined in. Cold has that ability to rein him in.”

“I have heard rumors that there is a larger plan, but at the moment, Snart is eager to reestablish himself as top dog and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen,” Miller adds. Their first task will be kidnapping Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) in a bid to get to Barry. “My motivation is to figure out where Flash’s weak spots are,” Miller continues. “I’ve already figured out that he has a heart and he cares about people. He’s got a team and everyone on that team is vulnerable to predators like Cold and Heat Wave, and if I can go through them to get to The Flash, I certainly will.”

Tuesday’s episode will culminate in a very epic showdown between the trio that will force The Flash into the spotlight. “Many more people are going to find out that The Flash is a very real thing and not just a rumor,” Gustin says. “Barry is going to need backup and a lot of people are going to see him in action with a very public fight between the three of them.”

Aside from his superhero duties, Barry will also be dealing with the fallout of admitting his love for Iris (Candice Patton), who decided to move in with boyfriend Eddie (Rick Cosnett) in the midseason finale. “It’s actually different than what most viewers will expect,” Grant says, adding that Iris is getting closer to finding out about his alter-ego. “He’s less awkward than I would’ve expected. He’s going to make sure they still have their relationship and things won’t be messed up because of this honesty.”

“Barry has other things he has to deal with, so the relationship is a little bit on the back burner,” Gustin continues. “The tables have kind of turned. Now that Barry has been honest with Iris and maybe she’s not being fully honest with herself, she’s now the awkward one. Barry is trying to move forward with whatever friendship they can have right now.”

Meanwhile, Caitlin will be attempting to uncover the truth about her fiancé Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), who suddenly reappeared in her life and was literally on fire. But there will come a point in time when she’s forced to give up her quest. “She discovers the truth of Firestorm and decides she has to let it go because Ronnie is no longer Ronnie anymore,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. “Episode 13 is called ‘The Nuclear Man,’ and we have Victor Garber and Robbie Amell in that episode, so you’re going to get a lot of the answers of what happened to Ronnie the night of the explosion. Even episodes 10, 11, and 12 have bits of the puzzle to figuring out the secret behind Firestorm, and then General Eiling, played by Clancy Brown, shows up because Firestorm is his new target.”

- Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell de Prison Break se reunen como el Captain Cold y Heat Wave (IGN):

Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell de Prison Break se reunen como el Captain Cold y Heat Wave
Por Eric Goldman 19 Enero 2015

Wentworth Miller made his debut a couple of months ago on The Flash as Captain Cold and when he returns in Tuesday’s new episode he’ll have a notable ally – DC Comics villain Heat Wave, played by Dominic Purcell.

Yes, Miller and his former Prison Break costar – the man who played his brother for four years – are reuniting on The Flash, as the two now both have recurring roles on the series.

I sat down with Miller and Purcell to discuss their big TV reunion, getting to play the bad guys this time and more.

IGN: I was on the set of the next episode, and it was exciting watching you guys in full costume, playing out this big fight scene in the streets with Grant [Gustin], dressed as The Flash. Whether you knew the source material or not going in, is there just that fun little kid thing – like, “This is such a crazy part of our job”?

Purcell: Absolutely. As I said before, I’ve had the most fun with this character and a lot of characters I’ve done. It brings you back as a child, playing Cowboys and Indians. It just allows freedom for me and fun.

Miller: It brings me back about five years to when I was playing Michael Scofield in Prison Break and that experience was playing a good guy for four years and it was my job to stand there and spout exposition while the bad guys tore up the scenery and did cartwheels all around us. So to kind of taste what that’s like and enjoy a bit of that material. It’s been really satisfying.

IGN: Wentworth, you were talking about how you were cast first and you knew there was this other character coming and suggested Dominic. Obviously you knew you worked well together...

Miller: I didn’t even think about my own level of comfort as an actor. I just heard the character described; edgy, unpredictable, force of nature. Is there an actor you can think of that would be right for this part? That was the question that Geoff Johns asked me and I immediately said “Dominic Purcell.” I was 90% serious, 10% joking because I didn’t really think they could make that happen. Lo and behold, here we are.

Purcell: Add I thank Wentworth for that because, again, for me, I’m humbled to be a part of a successful show and I’m fortunate to be playing an iconic character like Heat Wave. It’s very exciting for me.

IGN: Can you talk about what the dynamic is between your characters? Are they pretty much on the same wavelength or are there some disagreements?

Miller: It’s hot and cold. We’re meant to be polar opposites in every respect. I’m cold, calculating, everything is thought out. He’s impulsive. I think he’s going to go left, he goes right. It’s a nice balance and there’s always tension that we get to play and enjoy playing.

IGN: Is there even a question of who’s calling the shots?

Miller: I am, technically. Technically Cold is calling the shots, begrudgingly.

Purcell: We’ll have to explore that as we go down the line.

IGN: Wentworth, we talked on set about how when we met him, he was a guy who was very sure of himself and kind of felt like there were no big threats left. So he saw The Flash as an exciting challenge. Now that he’s faced him once and seen what he’s made of, how does he approach the rematch?

Miller: I think he knows that The Flash is not going to go down so easily. It’s about finding his weak spots. Where is The Flash vulnerable? I think Snart understands that Flash has a heart. He cares about people, he’s in the business of saving people. That’s something that Snart can exploit, but I think Snart is also aware that this is a man in the mask. He’s got identity issues, things he’s keeping quiet, and in this way he is also perhaps vulnerable to Snart.

IGN: And what does Heat Wave make of him? He hasn’t encountered The Flash before so what is his first take on this guy in the red costume?

Purcell: He’s very impressed. Just the fact that there’s this dude who moves a million miles an hour… And he wants to take him down as well, because there’s an agenda behind our motivations to take down The Flash which hasn’t been really articulated at present.

IGN: As fun as it is to watch on screen and at times on set, there is also the technical aspect while you’re making something like this. Are there times where it’s like, “This will look really cool, I think,” but you have to put yourself in the hands of the special effects people?

Purcell: Yeah, there’s a tendency to feel frightened by what you’re doing because as you’re doing it. You kind of feel goofy when you’re holding a plastic gun and it’s supposed to be a flame and you’re doing this [waves arms around, as though pointing gun] and you’re making audible sounds like, “Vroomm vroom vroom!”, and you’ve got to stop yourself from doing that. But again, when you look at the production values in The Flash, you know you’re in safe hands so you know it’s going to look authentic and brilliant.

Miller: It calls for a level of trust ,and having seen the pilot [when I joined the show], that’s all I really needed to see. That level of care and attention being paid to both the visual effects and the character stuff was top notch.

IGN: Having had this great history working together, was it very easy to click back in once you were on set together?

Purcell: Simple. Absolutely simple. I’ve said it in the past, Wentworth and I, apart from everything else, are great friends. So just working together is just simple, easy.

Miller: It was like riding a bike. Although, the first time I called him by a different [character] name was a little strange - something other than "Lincoln." [Laughs] But we quickly adapted.

IGN: What’s it like seeing Grant going through what you did a few years ago, as far as the sudden attention that being on a hit TV show brings?

Purcell: I look at him and I empathize. Because with great success comes great responsibility and great invasion. He’s having to deal with that and he’s also still very young. When you get to a point where I’m at in my career, where I’m a grizzled veteran, you have the ability to look after yourself a bit more. When you’re that young, it’s easy to take advantage in a way but he’s learning. The great thing about Grant is he’s a wonderful human being, very modest, very talented and he realizes he’s in a fortunate position which makes being around him a pleasure.

IGN: How much will we be seeing you guys, moving forward?

Miller: I think the idea is to have us in a handful of episodes this season and maybe the season finale. The future is up in the air.

IGN: You were saying there’s an agenda we’ve yet to learn about these two. Have they given you some idea of what’s ahead and what’s driving them?

Miller: Not what the larger plan is, but I have been told that there is a larger plan. At the moment I’m focusing on the personal relationship, like what Snart sees in the Flash; how he’s challenged by the Flash. I think he’s even obsessed with The Flash to a certain degree, and figuring out what the Flash’s weak spots are and exploiting them, taking him down as quickly as possible, becomes agenda number one, in service of whatever that larger plan might be.

IGN: Obviously you’re going to have a lot of stuff with Grant, but are there other actors on the show you’re getting to interact with and get to see what your characters make of each other?

Miller: They just cast Peyton List as my sister [Lisa Snart / Golden Glider], so the Rogues are now three, I guess, and that’s made for some interesting complications.

Purcell: Heat Wave has a thing for Peyton’s character. She’s a beautiful woman and at this point, she tends to calm him down, I think. I know Cold’s not happy about this developing and I’m sure the writers are going to play with that are going to use that up and there’s going to be conflict with him. So I think there’s a lot of room for that.

IGN: The Flash has managed to hit this great sweet spot as far as tone is concerned. It could go too goofy, but it doesn’t. When you’re on set is that something it feels that everyone’s figured out - like, here’s how we play this that’s real and also having fun with it, but not going cartoonish?

Purcell: I think you can give credit to the actors. If an actor makes a choice that’s not working, then it becomes goofy. As actors, we’re able to know the nuance and we’re sensitive to that. But it’s also in the writing as well. The writing is terrific. I think a combination of all those stops it from being goofy.

IGN: When you did your first episode, did you quickly think, “Yeah, this is the way to play this?

Miller: It was challenging, because the character’s not in every episode so I’m not there day in and day out with the luxury of exploring the character at my own pace and in my own time. I show up every six episodes and I do my thing and then I go. What’s clear to me is that tone is so critical on a show like this and we do have the freedom and permission to be operatic, to really go for it. But it becomes even more critical that you ground that in something that feels real, some sort of real emotional base that supports those choices. And I think that’s what fans are tuning in to see. Characters that are out there and extreme but are still relatable to a certain degree.

Marc Guggenheim: "Superman" - El Nivel de la pelea cambia la vida de Barry para siempre
Por Aaron Couch 8:00 AM PST 20/01/2015

A big change is coming to The Flash.

Tuesday's episode will feature a massive brawl revealing to the world that The Flash is real. Barry (Grant Gustin) squares off against Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) in what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg describe as a fight worthy of Superman.

"The Flash does this knockdown, drag out Superman II fight in the streets with the rogues, and everyone sees The Flash," Kreisberg tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It's no longer an urban myth. He can't be dismissed. The world starts to change and is starting to have to accept that there are these crazy things out there. That will have repercussions going back into Starling City as the world starts to change."

The episode, which is the first time Prison Break alums Miller and Purcell have appeared together on screen since the show wrapped, also is the first supervillain team-up of the series.

"It's the first time villains have said 'our goal this week is to kill The Flash,' " says Kreisberg.

That's not all Barry has to contend with this episode.

"He's thinking about Reverse Flash after the last episode," Gustin says.

And fresh off his admission to Iris (Candice Patton) that he has feelings for her.

"He's not as bummed as you would think," Gustin says. "Iris is actually the one who is being more awkward about it."

¡Grant Gustin sobre los viejos enemigos, nuevos amores y un homenaje al 'Día de la Marmota'!
Por Philiana Ng 20 de Enero, 2015 7:30 AM PST

Hope you're ready The Flash fans, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

The CW’s comic-book drama is back tonight with a brand-new episode after more than a month off and if you’ve been going through withdrawals, we don’t blame you. Plus, we’re still listing off all those unanswered questions following the bonkers winter finale – Is Harrison Wells really Reverse-Flash? Is Barry done with Iris? Is Eddie close to unmasking The Flash?

Fortunately, tonight’s return is a doozy, as it marks the anticipated Prison Break reunion between Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell as The Flash foes Captain Cold and Heat Wave. Considering all the drama Barry has to deal with already, dealing with angry probably isn’t the best.

We recently caught up with Grant Gustin, the lovable star of The Flash, for the lowdown on tonight’s winter return – and beyond!

Barry’s reaction to Iris’ rejection is surprising: Barry takes Iris’ rejection well considering how long he’s yearned for his childhood friend. “You would think Barry would be incredibly awkward now because that’s his nature and he was just rejected by a life-long love, but the relationship is so important to him,” Gustin tells ETonline. “Once it goes down the way it goes down and Iris is moving in with Eddie, he accepts that and he wants to be able to still have her in his life, whatever that relationship is.”

“He’s not going to not have Iris in his life, so he’s being really good about it actually,” the 25-year-old star explains. “The tables have turned and now Iris is the awkward one. Barry’s been honest; she’s put in a place now where she’s wondering if she hasn’t been completely honest with herself about her feelings.” That doesn’t mean their friendship is over (“Iris is the love of his life,” Gustin insists), though Barry will be busy with other pursuits. “Their relationship is moving forward, [though] Barry’s mostly focusing on training and getting ready to face off against Reverse again, whenever that may be."

Karaoke + alcohol = best night ever? Mark your calendar, Barry Allen dusts off his pipes in episode 12! It’s not a planned moment by any means, Gustin says with a smile. “We’re in a karaoke bar, and there’s alcohol involved.” But since Barry can’t get drunk, who is the one getting tipsy? “Somebody is drunk – his singing partner is drunk,” he teases. Hmmm… who could it be? “It’s someone we know and it’s a very funny scene.”

Barry’s “refreshing” new love: It’s during Barry’s karaoke night where he bumps into new love interest Linda Park (Malese Jow) – though they don’t start out that way. Over time, Barry tries to “make it work” with Linda in order “to move on in whatever way he can,” Gustin says. It could be just what the doctor ordered, too. “Different” is the word he uses to describe Barry and Linda (Balinda? Linarry?). “They have a lot of fun, and [it’s] a refreshing relationship for Barry and for Linda, I think,” he teases. “She’s never met a guy like Barry, and it’s new for both of them.” One plus: They’re a blank slate. “They can talk about things that Barry and Iris don’t talk about. It’s a nice change of pace.”

The Flash’s accidental coming-out party: Remember when Joe told Eddie about the metahumans? Well, that won’t go over well. “It’s going to be as if that conversation never happened to be honest,” Gustin reveals. “There’s going to be a very public battle that puts Flash into a situation where he has to accept that it’s no longer going to be a rumor about him anymore. The whole city is going to know The Flash is this guy out there protecting them, and the city is going to start to learn about the metahumans.” What?! Don’t think The Flash will go rogue. He’s “going to be embraced in a much different way than the Green Arrow is ‘embraced’ in Starling,” he hints.

Does word of Oliver’s death reach Barry? If you thought the news made it to Central City in a flash, you’d be wrong. “Everyone keeps asking if Barry got word and I hadn’t even thought about that because of everything that’s going on,” Gustin admits. “But no, word doesn’t travel to Central City that Oliver is dead and missing.” Sounds like Team Arrow is keeping things contained, at least for now. “I don’t think they know what’s going on at this point.”

Will Barry get back to kicking butt? It’s been a tough go for the Fastest Man Alive, but the punches he endured in the winter finale were the worst of it. Gustin attributes Barry’s inability to keep up as his character’s “growing pains,” but he’s positive the tide is turning. “There are some villains coming up that Barry can handle much better than others” – i.e. Peek-A-Boo.

Trippy time-travel timelines: If there’s one thing the star is passionate about in regards to Flash cannon, it’s time travel. Luckily for us, it’s happening! “That’s what I’ve always wanted and now it’s happening, slowly at first but in a big way by the end of the season.” And they’ve already begun filming those sequences: Episode 15 is when it all begins! “It gets logistically very confusing because now we’re dealing with different timelines.”

A Groundhog Day homage: Time travel may have something to do with it but Gustin reveals that Barry “will relive a day twice in the near future.” What day could it be, and is it significant?

Is a Flash-Glee crossover coming? Gustin already has a Glee member in mind for The Flash should the stars align. “I was just talking to Darren [Criss] recently and saying that,” he shared, citing Criss’ friendships with Carlos Valdes and Andy Mientus. “I’m like, ‘Dude, we gotta get you on this show, we gotta get you in on this thing.’ I don’t know in what capacity but he’s got to.” The timing may just work out: With Glee done filming in February and a second season of The Flash ordered, maybe we’ll see Blaine in Central City one of these days.

- El regreso de FLASH a TV presenta una 'Pelea al estilo de SUPERMAN II con The Rogues' (newsarama):

El regreso de FLASH a TV presenta una 'Pelea al estilo de SUPERMAN II con The Rogues'
Por Chris Arrant, 20 enero del 2015 11:39 AM ET

The Flash may be one of the quickest superheroes ever, but waiting for his CW series to return from its midseason break has been excruciatingly slow for those that have become fans. But on Tuesday, The Flash returns in what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells The Hollywood Reporter is a fight which will change the show's world.

"The Flash does this knockdown, drag out Superman II fight in the streets with the rogues, and everyone sees the Flash," says Kreisberg. "It's no longer an urban myth. He can't be dismissed. The world starts to change and is starting to have to accept that there are these crazy things out there. That will have repercussions going back into Starling City as the world starts to change."

The Rogues in question are Captain Cold and Heatwave, played respectively by Prison Break alums Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell. This will be the first villain "team-up" seen in this recently launched TV series, but far from the last if you've followed the Flash's history in comics.

And speaking of villains, the Reverse-Flash will continue to permeate the show according to series star Grant Gustin even when he's not on screen.

"He's thinking about Reverse Flash after the last episode," Gustin says.

And as far as knockdown, drag out superhero fights go, none seem to be more of an attention getter than the one promised in the forthcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film's fight choreographer, Guillermo Grispo, recently spoke with the Spanish language website Los Andes Diario (and translated by Batman News) about staging the fight scenes between the two and looking for a more realistic, MMA approach for the Dark Knight.

"There’s a thought that Batman has no chance, that the other [Superman] will squash him like a bug. But when you see the movie, and how it all comes out, there’s a very intelligent explanation as to why they would have a firsthand confrontation though it seems to be totally to Batman’s disadvantage," says Grispo. "Now Batman it’s going to fight the way I’ve always dreamed seeing him fight… he’s a character so prepared in martial arts that you can do a lot of things with him, but filmmakers usually don’t go all the way with it. Even in the last Nolan movies the action scenes aren’t very good from a technical, martial arts point of view to things like choreography, filming, bad camera movements…"

Grispo, who said he was in talks to work on the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy but couldn't come to terms with them at the time, has worked with Zack Snyder since 300 and choreographed the fight scnes in Man of Steel.

- Amell & Garber Se preparan para las discusiones y conflictos cono el Firestorm de "The Flash" (cbr):

Amell & Garber Se preparan para las discusiones y conflictos cono el Firestorm de "The Flash"
Por Albert Ching, 20 de enero del 2015

Debuting in 1978 by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom, DC Comics' Firestorm stands out from the superhero pack even now, nearly 40 years later, for having not one secret identity, but two: high-school student Ronnie Raymond and brilliant physicist Martin Stein. The two fused together as Firestorm, with Raymond in the nuclear-powered driver's seat and Stein as the voice inside his head.

Multiple Firestorm incarnations were subsequently introduced, but it's this classic take that serves as inspiration for the version on "The Flash," The CW's DC-based freshman hit series. Viewers have already seen Raymond -- played by Robbie Amell, cousin to "Arrow" star Stephen Amell -- who on the show is not a high school student, but an engineer, presumed dead following the particle accelerator explosion, leaving behind fiancée Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker). "Alias," "Argo" and "Titanic" alum Victor Garber is slated to join the show in February as Martin Stein, with the two banding together to form Firestorm in his live-action adventures.

CBR News spoke with both Amell and Garber -- who previously worked together on a 2013 TV movie titled "The Hunters," based on the Joshua Williamson-written comic book "Mirror, Mirror" -- earlier this month at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, talking the on-screen dynamic between Raymond and Stein, the real-life dynamic between Amell and Garber and the soon-to-debut Firestorm costume.

CBR News: Victor, Robbie, based on the TCA panel, it seems like there's definitely a fun dynamic between the two of you -- plus you've already worked together, so how exciting is it that things worked out this way?

Victor Garber: It's something that rarely happens. My affiliation with Greg Berlanti, and Marc and Andrew, that was the first thing. Then, they said, "Oh, we've cast Robbie Amell." That's like a gift.

Robbie Amell: It's a two-fer!

Garber: It's rare. It's great.

What has that familiarity lent so far to the unique relationship between Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein?

Amell: We didn't have to get to know each other. Our first episode together, we're supposed to have been battling for control mentally against each other for over a year now, so there would be a familiarity -- and we already had that. We went out for dinner before we shot anything together, in Vancouver -- we saw each other at the table read, and went out to dinner that night, and got to catch back up. It was nice to come in knowing and having a friend, and having fun.

Garber: There's an immediate trust, that you can just throw the ball, and they'll bat it back. That's what acting mostly is. It's just listening and responding, and Robbie is really good at that.

Amell: What did you say? [Laughs]

Garber: It makes the whole process easier and more fun.

What's the dynamic like between the two characters? In the comics, there's usually a lot of banter back and forth, often to humorous effect -- how does it play out on the show?

Amell: We haven't gotten to do too many scenes like that yet, but from what we've shot, there's definitely a frustration with each other. We spend a lot [of time] in my head, battling for control. You spend a year that close to somebody, you need some time apart, so I think a little bit of the humor comes from us wanting nothing to do with each other, and being brought back together and having to team up to help out Flash. I'm really excited for future episodes, where we will get to have a little more fun together.

Garber: In my second episode, we come together knowing that we have a responsibility, and we both take that seriously. Frustration happens at first -- where I just say, "You're an idiot, I just want to get out of here" -- but then, as things progress, we realize that we have a responsibility, and we both accept that. From there on, of course, there will be banter and conflicts, which is what makes it fun.

Viewers haven't seen Martin Stein on screen yet. There's an idea of what the character might be like based on the comics, but Victor, what can you tell us about him on the show?

Garber: He is sort of a reluctant hero. He's somebody who came into this without meaning to, this conjoining experience, and then, when we are finally separated, he's sort of at a loss. He doesn't know quite who he is or what he is. I think it's a process of rediscovering his atoms, and finding himself again. He's a really smart guy who the Flash enlists for help. Barry comes to him, and they have a great meeting. I think he becomes sort of an advisor, mentor guy.

Robbie, we've seen the character of Ronnie Raymond already be two different things -- in the flashbacks, he has his life together, and then he's gone through a transformation and is definitely lost. Now it looks like he's moving to a third place, a more heroic area, as Firestorm. What's that been like for you, playing a character that in a short time, has had a wide range?

Amell: I got to have my introduction episode, with the flashbacks, quick scenes with Danielle -- all we really wanted to do was establish this relationship between the two of them, so people care when he gets killed trying to save her. The nice thing was, the producers let us have a little freedom with the lines, do our best to flirt and establish this connection on camera.

But most of my character so far has been this schizophrenic homeless guy, who's really nothing like Ronnie Raymond at all. The nice thing is, that character will soon be a thing of the past, and it's back to, like you said, a more heroic version of the first guy you saw. I like that he's a little goofier -- Danielle's character always says he's the only guy that can make her laugh. It's nice to play around with a character that's a little more lighthearted, even after going through all of this transformation.

Also on the panel, we saw the clearest view yet of the Firestorm costume.

Amell: It's got a lot of evolution to go through. It will definitely evolve. Right now, it just happens to be the wardrobe I was wearing when the splicer gets put on. The splicer is really the only piece of the costume that I think will be consistent, and that'll be a staple. I think the rest of it is interchangeable.

Garber: They're going to have more money next season, so they'll change it. [Laughs]

Sort of on that note -- obviously, both of these shows have been very successful for The CW, and there's acknowledged talks of further spinoffs. Firestorm has had his own comic several times in the past, has his own name value -- do you have any indication of a future life for the two of you together beyond "The Flash"?

Garber: Honestly, we really don't. Like Greg [Berlanti] was saying, there's a lot of talking going on, and I'm sure that we're part of that, but we're not privy to any of that.

Amell: They don't tell us crap. You guys will probably know before we do.

Garber: Really, I think all will be revealed at the same time, and it will come as a surprise to all of us.

Amell: I was the first person that told Stephen "Arrow" got picked up, because I happened to see it on Deadline. I called him, and he was like, "What are you talking about?" He had already booked it, they shot the pilot, but the announcement it got picked up, I saw it, I called him -- and then his phone started ringing. Sometimes it goes out to the trades before the closest people to it.

How soon will viewers see both of you together on "The Flash"?

Amell: You'll see us in February. The show comes back -- I think it airs five episodes straight without a break, and you'll see us a couple times in there. The episodes are really great for both of our characters, and our combined character. It's really a back story. One of them is called "The Nuclear Man," I believe.

The show is called "The Flash," but it's a strong ensemble. You both are now a part of it -- how much are you enjoying mixing up with the cast as a whole?

Garber: That's everything.

Amell: They've got great people.

Garber: That's the joy of being on a show: the ensemble.

Amell: When you're excited to go to work every day, you now you're working with special people.

- Captain Cold y Heat Wave Ponen a Barry a Prueba (Variety):

Captain Cold y Heat Wave Ponen a Barry a Prueba
Por Laura Prudom 20 Enero, 2015 | 10:42AM PT

When “The Flash” returns from its winter break on Jan. 20, The CW drama wastes no time getting right back to the action, with Grant Gustin’s titular hero racing to improve his abilities in order to defeat the Man in the Yellow Suit — revealed to the audience in the midseason finale as none other than Barry’s STAR Labs mentor, Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh).

At The CW’s recent TCA Winter Press Tour presentation, the show’s producers and Cavanagh confirmed that Wells is indeed the villain known as Reverse Flash in DC Comics lore, but in a subsequent interview with Variety, Gustin cautioned, “that’s not necessarily the whole truth… There’s a lot more to it.”

The star added, “There are really still a lot of twists and turns with that. There’s still a big, big twist to come that caught me completely off guard when I heard about it.”

And that’s not even touching on producer Andrew Kreisberg’s cryptic promise that Rick Cosnett’s Eddie Thawne has a “connection to the Reverse Flash lore [that] is going to pay off big time in the back half of the year.” The plot thickens…

While the Reverse Flash is still a major concern, Barry has a more immediate threat to deal with: the return of Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold, played by “Prison Break’s” Wentworth Miller) and his pyromaniac partner Mick Rory (aka Heat Wave, portrayed by Dominic Purcell), who are hellbent on destroying The Flash and making Central City their playground. (Check out an exclusive clip of the duo in action above.)

“It’s two powerful men and it’s going to be out in the open and Barry can’t do it by himself this time, so a lot more people are going to find out about The Flash,” Gustin previewed. “It’s not going to be the rumor of ‘The Streak’ anymore, it’s going to be the hero of the city.”

Miller and Purcell’s “Flash” appearance marks their first on-screen reunion since “Prison Break” went off the air in 2009.

“It was amazing being on set with them because they were so happy to be together and they just kept both saying, ‘Thank you so much; this is so much fun,'” said Kreisberg. “Snart is the cool, calm, collected one and Mick is the hothead. And in episode 16 we’ve got Snart’s sister, [played by] Peyton List. Just having Wentworth was amazing and then you add Dominic to it and it just gets bigger and then you add Peyton to it and it becomes a whole different thing.”

And if the Scarlet Speedster survives his run-in with the Rogues, there are plenty more bad guys on the horizon, according to Kreisberg: “We have Pied Piper played by Andy Mientus, who’s in two episodes, who’s great. We have Liam McIntyre as the Weather Wizard — continuing our strong run of stealing from ‘Spartacus.’ And Mark Hamill is The Trickster. It was an idea that we had early on. We’re actually going to have both the James Jesse Trickster and Axel Walker Trickster. So the episode is called ‘Tricksters.’ There’s a lot of callbacks to the old show… but it’s a [new] version of the character. Geoff Johns and I got to talk to Mark on the phone and he said he couldn’t believe his luck that his two favorite roles had come back to him this year. That made us really happy and we’re really excited about it.”

While the colorful villains are undeniably part of “The Flash’s” charm, the heart of the show lies in Barry’s relationships. Gustin teased that although things between Barry and Iris (Candice Patton) are strained after he revealed truth about his feelings for her in the midseason finale, “Barry is not as awkward as you would imagine him being moving forward after that… You would think after her rejecting him that now it would be really, really weird, but their relationship’s really important to him and it’s not like it’s the only thing in his life that he’s focusing on right now.”

He added, “Now that he knows the Reverse Flash is out there, he confirmed to Barry’s face that he is the one that killed Barry’s mom, so Barry knows that he hasn’t been chasing a ghost his whole life and this is real. He’s training for that. As far as their relationship, Barry’s just moving forward and Iris is really important to him. He hasn’t given up even a little bit. He is, for the time being, moving on and he is with somebody else in the near future. But the tables have kind of turned and Iris is the awkward one now between [them], because now she knows and maybe she’s kind of ignoring some feelings that she really does have, or doesn’t realize that she has. They’re actually in a pretty good place. Not immediately, but moving forward they’re in a pretty good place in the next couple episodes.”

The existence of the Reverse Flash will also serve as a catalyst for truth in Barry’s relationship with his father, Henry (John Wesley Shipp). “Their relationship is becoming more and more honest. One of the reasons I think the scenes between Barry and his father are so emotional and heavy right now is because Barry’s keeping such a big thing from him for his safety. It’s killing him that he hasn’t told his dad and he hasn’t told Iris. That will change in the near future between Barry and his father. Things will become more and more honest, which is I think a big weight off of Barry’s shoulders.”

- Tras la Reunion de “Prison Break” En “The Flash” (buzzfeed):

Tras la Reunion de “Prison Break” En “The Flash”
Por Jarett Wieselman 12 enero, 2015, at 11:53 p.m.

The CW’s The Flash has tapped one of the most popular television pairings in recent memory to play a duo of sinister villains. Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, who starred as incarcerated brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows on Fox’s Prison Break from 2005 to 2009, will reunite as Captain Cold and Heat Wave, beginning with the Jan. 20 episode of The Flash.

Miller already made his debut on The CW’s freshman superhero series last year, playing Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold). But next week, he’ll officially be joined by Purcell, who takes on the role of Snart’s cohort, Mick Rory aka Heat Wave. While fans are looking forward to seeing Miller and Purcell team up once more, the actors themselves are even more excited, considering they had not seen one another since Prison Break ended more than five years ago.

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, California, following a recent joint panel for The Flash and Arrow, Miller and Purcell sat down with BuzzFeed News to look back on the four seasons they spent behind (fictional) bars. They also talked about the hard lessons they learned about typecasting, how they came to love their inextricable association with those characters, what it felt like to work together again, and why we may not have seen the last of Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows just yet.

It’s been more than five years since the Prison Break series finale. With that distance, how do you feel about your time on the series?

Wentworth Miller: Working on a one-hour drama is like throwing down track right in front of the train. We were in the business of cranking out great material for 81 episodes and it took everything I had. Then, the show was done and I was ready to move forward and put it behind me. Recently, I did a Q&A at a college campus and I showed up expecting the crowd to be interested in what I’m up to — my writing, various things that are present tense. But the only thing they wanted to talk about was Prison Break. And everyone in the room was 17, 18 years old, so they were just coming to it. For them, the show is present tense. And that hammered home for me that, because of technology and social media, this stuff has a second life.

Dominic, do you find that to be true as well?

Dominic Purcell: The films I have done are completely redundant. I am Lincoln Burrows forever.

How do you feel about that?

DP: After the show, I had a problem with it. But now I embrace it because I realize what a wonderful opportunity it was and what a great thing is was to be part of that great show, a show that people really loved and still do, you know? There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t hear, “You’re the guy from Prison Break! I love that show.” You just have to embrace it. I’m very humbled by Prison Break’s success.

Do you get similar reactions, Wentworth?

WM: I have people calling me Michael left and right. As an actor, I had, naturally, I think, some concerns. How do I distance myself from this iconic character? And it’s one of the beautiful things about our current situation — it didn’t really factor into my thinking at all that by signing on to play Captain Cold, by him signing on to play Heat Wave, this will move us farther away from Michael and Lincoln than a million legal procedurals ever would.

DP: Ever. It’s also very unique that two actors get an opportunity to play characters, like Michael and Lincoln, who become iconic, and now we’re playing two iconic roles again. We’re very fortunate. It’s wonderful.

How did the Captain Cold role on The Flash come about for you, Wentworth?

WM: I hadn’t acted in a while. I was focusing on my writing. But I was missing the community that happens on set when a cast and crew are putting a TV show together week in and week out. So I told my reps I was interested in getting back into the acting game. Suddenly, there was a call from [executive producer] Greg Berlanti’s office. They wanted to meet me, there was the role, there was the offer, and it was just the right role at the right time.

During my first episode, in a conversation with [DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer] Geoff Johns, he said, “We’re trying to cast this Heat Wave character. He’s this hothead, aggressive, unpredictable, force of nature. Are there any actors you can think of?” I said. “Dominic Purcell.” I was 90% serious, 10% joking, because I didn’t think they could pull it off or that they would even be interested in such a pairing — not knowing they were huge Prison Break fans. They must have made the call that afternoon.

DP: They did.

What did they say?

DP: Wentworth dropped me an email and asked if I would be interested and I said, “Fuck yeah!” To work with Wentworth again? Yes. I was just excited to see Wentworth. It wasn’t about The Flash; it was about reconnecting with him and having a blast. Now that I’m on the show, I’m very thankful that the show is the success that it is. I’m humbled by it, I appreciate it, I love the cast, and it allows us to be operatic. As actors, that’s all you ever really want to do: You want to go big!

WM: My training ground was Prison Break. That was a show that was not unlike a comic book. The challenge every episode was, We’ve got explosions, we’ve got stunts, we’ve got gunfights, but we have to care about you as a character at the same time, so can you ground this in something that feels real and honest and true? And that’s what we’re doing here — we have the opportunities to play these larger-than-life characters and do something operatic at the same time. As an actor, I want to make sure that it also feels human on some level.

How much had you kept in touch over the last five years?

DP: The unique thing about Wentworth and I is we have profound respect for one another. Wentworth is a dear friend, very, very close, but I think one of the reasons our relationship works so well is because we’re not in each other’s faces. It’s like having a brother — you don’t need to see him every fucking day. So we didn’t see each other for four or five years. We kept in touch via email or whatever, so, again, when the opportunity came to be on set with Wentworth again, I jumped at it.

Was that time apart necessary after working together so closely for five years?

WM: After Prison Break was over, it occurred to me that Dominic and I had a drink in the hotel bar when we shot the pilot. And that was the last time we ever saw each other out socially for the next four years.

DP: Totally!

WM: I spent 14 hours a day with this man, five days a week (laughs).

DP: We didn’t need to fucking hang out with each other (laughs).

What do you think it is about your chemistry that audiences respond to?

WM: I think it’s that we are so different. We come from different universes, we have very different temperaments. Dominic is his own model of manhood, I’m my own model of manhood. And yet, there is love there. There is respect there. There is camaraderie there.

DP: Very much.

WM: For me, it’s been satisfying and affirmative and fulfilling. For fans tuning in, they get a taste of that.

What about as actors? What do you get from one another in that regard?

DP: Comfort. Ease. There’s no ego with Wentworth and I. None whatsoever. There’s no jousting.

WM: Dominic could tell me, “You’re not standing where you’re supposed to be standing. Go over there,” and I’ll do that. If another actor says that to me in that way, maybe there’s an issue.

DP: And vice versa. If Went says, “Dom, we need to do this.” Cool. All right.

Was that immediately there again when you reconnected for The Flash?

DP: Yeah.

WM: It’s intuitive at this point.

DP: Exactly. It’s intuition and instinct. It’s like a married couple, the couple that fucking lasts 80 years together. When I look at an old lady and an old man holding hands, I’m like, How the fuck did you do that? And they can’t explain it. It’s just an innate thing and that’s the same with Wentworth and I. I will always work with Wentworth in anything he wants to do.

WM: Likewise. It’s about a level of respect and trust. I’ve been on sets where the actor you’re working opposite isn’t interested in letting you have a moment. They’re not on your side, they want all the moments for themselves. If Dominic wants a moment, I’m happy to be of service to that and that current runs both ways.

What was it actually like when you were back on set together after five years apart?

WM: Emotional.

DP: Exciting! It was like seeing a long-lost brother. And it was also like we just stepped away one day ago from Prison Break. There was no awkwardness. It was just fucking what we did on Prison Break.

WM: I remember really looking forward to it. This is a man I hadn’t seen in the flesh for five years and to be working alongside him on this new show, playing this new character, deepened the experience for me.

Do you feel like you’ve re-rung the Prison Break call-to-arms bell for fans by reuniting on The Flash? Are you expecting questions about a reunion movie now?

WM: I would welcome it. I remember being on the set of Resident Evil … behind bars (laughs). I thought, Well, I could either fight this or I could go with it. Cut to me, first week on the set of The Flash, getting my mugshot taken. Never in a million years would I have imagined that would be part of my casting, but it is and I’m happy to serve what’s on the stove.

DP: Exactly. I mean, I went through a period there where, after Prison Break, it was very important for me to go out there and explore different character roles. I’m not even sure it’s necessary for me to say, but, I trained at drama school for three years and did Shakespeare and Chekov, but when I came to the States and got Prison Break, people began to see me in a certain way, and I’ve embraced that because it’s affording me opportunities in life I wouldn’t normally get. I’m running with my brand, if you will.

Is that a realization actors often have to reconcile, that you will be typecast, and fighting against it can sometimes be more trouble than it’s worth?

DP: I think it comes with maturity. I think, as a young actor, you’re naive to a certain extent and being in the industry as long as I have, you understand how the business actually fucking works. I’m always going to be seen as the tough, brooding guy. There’s a sensitive side to my brutality, so I don’t get cast as the psychopath, but I do get cast as the man’s man, the tough guy. That’s fine with me, man. I’m totally cool with it.

Wentworth, did you get a lot of offers that were similar to Michael after Prison Break ended?

WM: I remember getting offered a lot of parts where the character was either fresh from prison or on his way to prison (laughs) and it just wasn’t interesting to me. That’s why I took a break and went off and started writing again. I wanted to be my own boss and create my own universe. For me, it’s important to recognize the gift in every opportunity. Michael Scofield was a gift, Captain Cold is a gift. If I’m handed a part that feels familiar, I say yes and even if it’s not on the page, I find something in there that’s new and fresh and surprising.

DP: Yes! And that also comes with life experience, with maturity. As a 25-year-old, you probably wouldn’t be making those choices.

WM: You don’t have the perspective.

DP: Or life experience.

What appealed to you about your characters on The Flash?

WM: One of the things I like and respect about Snart is that, yes, he’s a villain, he’s up to no good, but he’s not wearing a mask. He’s not pretending to be anything. He’s always Leonard Snart as opposed to his adversary, who is wearing half a mask and has identity issues and secrets that need to be kept. Snart is a fully integrated and assimilated man who is always speaking his truth whether you like it or not and that’s something I really dug.

DP: Very similar to what Wentworth said, I like that Mick Rory is what he is: He’s a firebrand, he’s a force of nature, he doesn’t give a fuck. He’s out there to fucking cause havoc. He’s not apologizing for anything and I respond to that because I’m kind of the same.

What are you looking to do next?

DP: We want to work together again. We want to come up with a TV concept [where] we can work together. If we can come up with something brilliant, we’ll make it happen.

WM: I’m looking to do a bit of both. Maybe I’m working on a show as an actor and I’m writing the odd episode. I’ve had the experience of working in Hollywood as a feature film writer. Unfortunately, I did not encounter a lot of respect there, but in TV, the writer is king. That’s the fountainhead, that’s the source.

DP: And I’ve said to Wentworth, “You’re a fucking brilliant writer, so why not be the executive producer, the guy that writes the fucking pilot, and the guy that chooses to act in five episodes rather than 15?” We’re also exploring the possibility of doing a Prison Break reunion, end of chapter or whatever it is.

WM: A hidden chapter, a limited series, something. That model of [24: Live Another Day] and either flash back, like, This is what you didn’t see, or Where are they now? in a reunion set-up.

What excites you about the idea of playing these men again?

DP: Just to discover what’s happened to them, how far they’ve journeyed. I don’t see it being another series; I see it being a standalone movie or a miniseries. But, again, I want to work with Wentworth on something completely separate from all that and make that work.

WM: I’m also excited by the possibility, or the potential of going back and taking a look at Michael Scofield as a man who is now 43, as opposed to when I was starting out at 33, because I will come at it from a different angle. I have a different set of skills and experiences to bring to the table.

DP: Fuck. Has it been that long?

WM: Yeah.

DP: Jesus Christ.

WM: (Laughs) A lifetime.

Is a reunion movie something you’re exploring in a legitimate way with Fox or is it just an idea for now?

DP: Legitimate.

WM: We were shooting the breeze on set of The Flash and having a good time being back together and reminiscing and out of that came this, “Wouldn’t it be cool…” The wheels are in motion, but things take time.

DP: That’s the other thing about Prison Break: It never stops. That’s the thing about new media. It’s like we have a new generation of Prison Break fans, thanks to Netflix.

WM: Although I noticed when I get off a plane now, and there’s a fan waiting for me with a picture to sign, chances are it’s not Michael Scofield; chances are it’s Captain Cold, which is gratifying.

- Los Villanos de Flash Dominic Purcell y Wentworth Miller adelantan la reunión de ‘Prison Break’: ‘Todo es cruzar chorros’ (thewrap):

Los Villanos de Flash Dominic Purcell y Wentworth Miller adelantan la reunión de ‘Prison Break’: ‘Todo es cruzar chorros’
Por Travis Reilly 20 Enero, 2015 @ 4:04 pm

Heat Wave and Captain Cold “aren’t friends, but they do have a kind of intimacy and that’s been fun to explore,” Miller tells TheWrap

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller team up on Tuesday’s episode of The CW’s “The Flash,” marking the actors’ first shared screen time since wrapping on Fox’s “Prison Break” in 2009. But when they spoke to TheWrap during an on-set press visit in Vancouver, they said their focus was trained on thwarting Grant Gustin’s titular hero.

“[Captain] Cold and Heat Wave work together to bring down the Flash and we’ve got our guns,” Purcell said. “I’m firing a heat wave and Wentworth’s firing a cold gun. It’s all about crossing streams. It’s like ‘Ghostbusters!’ … It’s a lot of fun.”

For those who don’t remember, Purcell played a wrongfully incarcerated Death Row inmate on “Prison Break” and Miller was his loyal brother dedicated to helping him escape. But when they go toe-to-toe with Barry Allen (Gustin) on Tuesday’s episode of “The Flash,” they risk taking another turn in the slammer.

“We played brothers for four years, so there’s just something that builds up over time and I know his style and he knows mine and I think it’s brought an extra layer to these two characters and their relationship, because they do have a history – Cold and Heat Wave — and it was nice that we already had that bubbling on the stove,” said Miller.

“We had such a great time on ‘Prison Break’ and I haven’t worked with him since then. So, working with him again is great,” Purcell added. “We have a unique chemistry, so this gives us a chance to come into a different world, and it affords actors [a chance] to really play, and that’s what I’m really enjoying about this role.”

The duo were basically good guys on “Prison Break,” but on The CW’s freshman superhero drama they join forces for a much more nefarious cause — bringing down the Flash.

Miller plays Leonard Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold, a villain who first appeared as a thorn in Barry Allen’s side on an earlier episode this season. Purcell, meanwhile, makes his CW debut as Heat Wave on Tuesday’s episode entitled “Revenge of the Rogues.” His villain is a fireman gone, well, rogue.

“It was basically finding the character on the floor, really. Heat Wave, it just invokes a hot head. I’m bringing an animalistic kind of [thing] to him,” he said with a growl.

But Snart’s villain is more calculating. “Cold is a solitary, lone wolf kind of character and may occasionally enjoy having some company,” explained Miller. “So there is a push-pull between the two. They aren’t friends, but they do have a kind of intimacy and that’s been fun to explore.”

Purcell and Miller’s reunion has been the stuff of headlines since the guest casting was first revealed back in September. Fans clearly respond to the actors’ rapport, though Purcell can’t explain it.

“I don’t think there’s an answer to chemistry,” he said. “With Wentworth and I there was no ego. There was never any sense of competition, we just kind of worked very easily together. I don’t know what the chemistry is, but people respond.”

Gustin, the show’s breakout lead, agrees.

“It’s just really cool to have Dominic and Wentworth,” he said. “The first time I saw them together, like in costume, walking down the street with their weapons … it just looked pretty badass. It’s pretty exciting to have them.”

VANCOUVER, BC. It's a rainy October night in Vancouver, but on the location for The CW's "The Flash," they're having a Heat Wave.

Sorry.

Actually, out in the Vancouver street, it's The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) having a showdown on the rain-soaked pavement as umbrella wielding PAs stand by to shelter the two actors.

Speaking of shelter, a small group of reporters is poised on a ledge 100 feet away from the street. We were given permission to shoot non-spoiler pictures from our distant pedestal and, with the light and the drizzle and my cell phone camera, this was the best I could do. At least The Flash is visible.

VANCOUVER, BC. It's a rainy October night in Vancouver, but on the location for The CW's "The Flash," they're having a Heat Wave.

The set of 'The Flash'

We're scurrying in and out between the rain and a warm makeshift interview room in which we've talked to all of the "Flash" stars.

That interview room is where we're having a Heat Wave, or at least getting our first look at Dominic Purcell in his Heat Wave attire.

Purcell will be making his first appearance in the 10th episode of the first "Flash" season and he'll be reteaming with "Prison Break" co-star Wentworth Miller, a reunion that wasn't coincidental.

"I got a call from my agent saying, ''The Flash' offered you a role in the show' and I knew Wentworth was doing it, and he actually sent me an email saying 'Come on board, it’ll be fun!' And I said, 'Absolutely!'" Purcell remembers. "Wentworth’s a very dear friend of mine, a very close friend, so it’s always a pleasure. We had such a great time on 'Prison Break,' and I haven’t worked with him since then, so working with him again is great. We have a unique chemistry I think, so this gives us a chance to come into a different world and it affords actors [the chance] to really play, and I think that’s what I’m really enjoying about this role."

Purcell and Miller played brothers for four years on FOX's "Prison Break" and while they haven't been hanging out together recently, they've been in touch and Purcell says that their acting bond remains intact.

"It’s hard to articulate," he muses. "I don’t think there’s an answer to chemistry. I think it’s just one of those things. With Wentworth and I, there was no ego, there was never any sense of competition, we just kind of worked, very easily together. I don’t know what the chemistry is, but people respond to it."

As Purcell is smart and quick to note, he's not a stranger to the comic book world. Thanks to "Blade: Trinity," he's a small footnote in the Marvel Universe. Although he's about to have a bigger place in the DC world, Purcell was whisked onto "The Flash" so quickly he didn't have time to research.

"At the moment, and the limited research that I’ve done, and the knowledge that I know of this character, I see him as a likable villain," Purcell explains. "I don’t think he’s as psychopathic as the Joker, but he’s still a badass. I don’t think you would describe Heat Wave as 'evil.'"

Viewers will get to decide for themselves when Heat Wave makes his first appearance on Tuesday (January 20) night's "The Flash."

- Tom Cavanagh sobre el ser The Reverse Flash y las dos vertientes de Harrison Wells (TVFanatic):

Tom Cavanagh sobre el ser The Reverse Flash y las dos vertientes de Harrison Wells
Por Jim Halterman 20 enero, 2015 9:00 am.

Yes, we now know the identity of The Reverse Flash.

During The CW day at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour last weekend, Tom Cavanagh - who plays Harrison Wells - admitted that he is the mysterious man who is actually faster than Barry Allen ... and is also responsible to some degree for the death of Barry's mother.

What other details did Cavanagh, his cast mates and the writers say about his alter ego on the popular Arrow spin-off? Well, not much.

It’s a good thing,then, that I had the chance to sit down with Cavanagh to see what he could tell me about this new information and what we’ll see moving forward. Is The Reverse Flash purely evil? Or is there more to his plans that may actually be for something good?

The Flash Season 1 Episode 10 airs tonight and, in the meantime, let’s see what Cavanagh can tease about what we’ll see next.

TV Fanatic: The Reverse Flash news is out there.

Tom Cavanagh: Yeah, I’m the Reverse Flash. It’s funny because there are still ways to go. In [The Flash Season 1 Episode 9], you never see him in the suit. And I think they did that on purpose but one of the nice things about [the writers] is they aren’t really interested, and this is a perfect example, of teasing people. Up until now, it’s been nice to have that. It hasn’t been what I would call a tease, it’s been a storyline and if I were a viewer, I’d be interested in that. I would be like, ‘what’s going on?’ I think that’s deft screenwriting and then at some point…like when you have a girl and a guy and it’s a will they/won’t they thing and that’s okay for a bit but after a while it becomes too annoying.

What’s nice about this show and not just my character, or characters in particular, but rather the whole thing is they come out swinging. We’re not just mimicking the pilot every week. There’s new developments. I liken it to when you actually buy a hard copy, a fiscal comic book, and you open it up, you have rewards in there from cover to cover and that’s what we’re trying to do with each episode. So it’s not just ‘stay tuned next week and we didn’t really add anything to it.’ They’re telling full stories, they’re having explosions, they’re having heart, they’re having some humor and it’s done every week and it’s done on purpose by Greg [Berlanti] and Andrew [Kreisberg] and Geoff [Johns]. It’s good because you’re giving people their money’s worth, so to speak.

TVF: Harrison is a great character because he is someone that we’re trying to figure him out. Even Oliver had a comment in the crossover.

TC: Yeah, ‘I don’t trust that son of a bitch.’

TVF: We have seen him do some villainous things so…

TC: The one component of all of that and it’s really delicious is he doesn’t do things we’d construe as bad because he wants to do bad things. The Reverse Flash has a massive agenda and in many ways his agenda is helpful in expanding The Flash’s powers, beliefs and The Flash’s reach, which is good for mankind, it’s good for The Flash and good for the Reverse Flash. It’s not just him twirling a mustache and saying ‘Oh, I’m going to do mean things!’ It’s all justified.

The way I approach it is here’s a man who, like all of us, is trying to get whole, who is trying to reach his potential. So when you ask is the guy good or bad, there are arguments for both. That’s what is a boon to play as an actor. He’s both!

TVF: How much does redemption play a part in what Harrison does? He is responsible for a lot of what’s happened with everyone. Does that play a part in what he’s doing?

TC: I think there’s redemption in as much as pride is involved. Because everyone wants to be seen for their merits and for their abilities and I think when we join The Flash, that is not the case with Harrison Wells. I think that’s a nice starting point. They’re knocked down and they have to get back up and so I don’t know if redemption is the right word exactly but it does fit in with all the furthering that he is trying to do personally, with The Flash and Central City. It’s all intertwined together. You can’t really separate one from the other. That’s not really known to everybody when we join The Flash but it becomes more a part of the discussions as we progress.

I think it’s smart. I think they’ve taken something that is…I don’t know if smart would be the first thing that comes to mind but certainly smart in terms of what I get to do. It’s intelligently drawn out, and so you have to approach it with that and give it some respect and it makes it really fun to play. All the lines, all the tiny little things, the little character peccadillos that I’ve done, people will look back on them now. Like when he takes the glasses off, it’s like ‘Oh, he’s wasn’t cleaning his glasses!’ That’s happened a number of times in every episode but people didn’t notice but if they were to go back they would say ‘interesting!’

When I approach him, who he really is is not Harrison Wells. He is that but I’d say closer to home is who he is as The Reverse Flash. That makes it delicious to play because then you have to ask, how much is cover? How much is acting? How much is really him as Harrison trying to solve a scientific problem? That’s true, too. He uses his intelligence to further his agenda. That in many ways is the Harrison Wells persona.

- La estrella de 'The Flash' adelanta una importante historia de viajes en el tiempo (THR):

La estrella de 'The Flash' adelanta una importante historia de viajes en el tiempo
by Aaron Couc 6:00 PM PST 20/01/2015

Is CW's The Flash poised for a major blast from the past — or maybe a jaunt to the future?

Grant Gustin says the CW show will explore the time-travel aspect of characters this season, and it has the potential to change the show itself.

In Tuesday's episode, The Flash (Gustin) foiled his first supervillain team-up, defeating Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heatwave (Dominic Purcell). But the major battle could be small compared with what's to come.
"We are diving deep into the time-travel element and it is going to be wild," Gustin tells The Hollywood Reporter about this season.

There have been plenty of hints of a time-travel storyline. Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) has a newspaper that displays headlines from the future, and his Reverse-Flash alter ego was at the scene of Mrs. Allen's death.

"It's ultimately why I signed on to this job. Not to play a scientist, but to play a time-traveling bandit," Cavanagh tells The Hollywood Reporter.

He goes on to say those curious about the time-travel element might want to brush up on The Flash comic books.

"In comic books, when you start talking about time travel — if anybody has followed The Flash, then they know Reverse-Flash and The Flash are not just doing this right now in the present day," he says. "They have a long history and there's nothing that we're not going to pursue when we try to tell the story. We're trying to tell all of it."

But if Gustin has his way, the time-travel element won't be confined to season one. Gustin says time travel could potentially flip the show on its head for season two — though he stresses that's up to the writers to decide.

"I think it would be fun if it totally changed the show for season two," Gustin says.

Only time will tell.

- Entrevista con Andy Mientus sobre 'Pied Piper' (nukethefridge):

Entrevista con Andy Mientus sobre 'Pied Piper'
Por Fred Topel 23 Enero, 2015

The January 27 episode of The Flash introduces the comic book character of Pied Piper, played by Andy Mientus. We got to speak with Mientus by phone about his appearance. He called from New York where he is currently on Broadway with Les Mis, but he was excited to talk about The Flash.

Mientus went to University of Michigan and holds a theater degree. His theater work includes national tours and off Broadway, then his TV debut on Smash before landing Les Mis. The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 on The CW.

Nuke the Fridge: Do you have a big entrance on The Flash?

AM: Yeah, I’d say so. I’m definitely the main thrust of that episode. I get a proper origin story and everything, so it’s very exciting.

Nuke: Tell us about the Pied Piper.

AM: I’m playing Hartley Rathaway, AKA The Pied Piper, who is one of the original Rogues. The character’s been around in the original comics for decades and decades and notably is one of the only out gay characters in the DC universe. Something I find really cool about him is that he’s got a history and a relationship with several of the other characters which you’ll see pretty quickly when I come in. So it’s a bit of a different dynamic than a typical villain of the week on The Flash.

Nuke: Do they have time in the episode to mention that he’s out, or is it not part of this episode?

AM: I wouldn’t say that it’s the focus of this episode. It’s definitely not an Afterschool Special about being gay, but it’s also not something that they’re shying away from or trying to downplay. I think it’s really tastefully and successfully integrated as just being a part of this character but not the only thing or the most interesting thing about his character. It’s just another fact. He’s got brown hair, he wears glasses and he’s gay. There’s a lot of other things going on too.

Nuke: How did you get this part? Was it a big audition?

AM: It was a pretty simple audition, luckily for me. I met everybody over at The Flash when I auditioned for the pilot. I actually auditioned for Barry in the pilot. That went well. I got good feedback on it but Greg Berlanti and everybody thought that while I wasn’t quite a fit for Barry, I maybe could be somebody else on the team, somebody down the pike so they would keep me in mind. So then I sort of forgot about it, because you hear that kind of thing all the time. “We’ll see you later.” So I was going about my career and my business. I’m doing a show on Broadway right now in New York and I took a few days off to go on vacation. While I was on vacation I got a call about auditioning for this role. And I took a look at it and I just thought it was a really great fit and something really interesting, and something I really, really wanted. But I was on vacation in Disney World and was terrified about trying to slap together some self tape in my hotel room. I didn’t think it would show me in my best light, so I begged them to let me come into L.A. the following week as soon as I could get in. So I flew into L.A. just to audition, and thankfully they agreed to see me. It was just one audition. I went in and read just for casting. Nobody was even there, no producers or anything. They just put it on tape and then I had the part two days later and then it was announced three days later.

Nuke: Is the Pied Piper a metahuman?

AM: He is not a metahuman. He’s a gadget guy, so he’s very human. It’s really interesting actually. He gets by with his genius which is naturally born.

Nuke: Do you have a lot of action in the episode?

AM: I do, yeah, and I’d never done anything like that before, so it was a big learning curve and just really exciting and a little scary but generally really fun. I had never done anything with green screen. I had never done any combat on camera. No pyro and effects other than the little bits of stuff I’d done on stage. So seeing that stuff actualized on that scale was incredible. You’d read at the table read that now he’s going to blow up this car. I just assumed that’d be visual effects in post. I’d throw my hand at a green screen and they’d so it later, but no, cars were blowing up 20 feet away from me. It was really exciting.

Nuke: They’re such pros with that on The Flash and Arrow. Did they help you through it?

AM: Oh, absolutely, yeah. The stunt people were so patient and made me so comfortable. I think I actually was a little surprising to them because with my theater background, I wasn’t really scared to get on the ground, get thrown around a little bit because I’m doing eight shows a week of Les Miserables on Broadway which is this incredibly physical war story so I’m falling off this barricade and getting shot and all this stuff. So there as a scene where I had to fall to the ground, from standing to the ground, maybe three feet. They padded me up so incredibly. I was like, “You’re very sweet but I promise I’ll be okay.” So it was a lot of fun.

Nuke: Who do you have a lot of scenes with? Mainly Barry, or some with Harrison, Caitlin and Cisco too?

AM: I get to play with everybody which is really, really cool. Without giving too much away, as I said, I’ve got a relationship which is extrapolated pretty quickly but I’ve been in a relationship with everybody at STAR Labs so there’s a lot of opportunity for me to talk about the past with everybody and you get to see us as just human characters, not as super adversaries. I had a lot to do with Grant which was great because we’d been friends for years so it was just really fun for us to be in our super costumes having a battle when he’s been to my house for a Halloween party. It was pretty surreal, and I had a lot with Tom Cavanagh which was really great because I just really respect him. I think he’s such a great actor and a generous scene partner, so I learned a lot from working with him.

Nuke: Did Grant know you had auditioned for the role of The Flash?

AM: No, I don’t think so. Grant and I had known each other for a while so I got good feedback on that audition but I didn’t test or anything like that, so I just let it go. When I heard that he was testing and then when he in turn got it, I was so thrilled for him. I called him and congratulated him because everyone loves Grant. All of his charisma that you see on screen is completely genuine and I think everyone who knows him is so thrilled for all the success he’s been having. It’s a cliche to say but it’s really true that it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. I was just completely thrilled that it was him and I was like, “Oh, of course it’s him. It’s got to be him.” But then when I found out that we were going to get to play together and in this hero/villain relationship, I was just completely psyched and so was him. Our first day together we were standing in this elevator waiting to go make our entrance and do this scene. We’re standing there waiting for “action” and looking at each other in our superhero costumes and just started laughing because it was so surreal and fun. We’re just like little boys in costumes playing pretend, but for millions of people.

Nuke: Were you a comic book fan before you auditioned for The Flash?

AM: I’m embarrassed to say that I wasn’t, which is not to say that I wasn’t such, such a nerd but I was a real video game nerd. I know that I would’ve been into comics but my parents didn’t provide them for me. I think they said the video games are enough and made me go outside a little bit. I was definitely familiar with this universe and especially with The Flash, the main character of The Flash and everyone else in the Justice League/greater DC universe, just because I feel like to a certain generation of kids, these characters feel like Greek heroes or something. They’re people that have always existed and you hear about and know about even if you never actually leaf through one of the comics. So as soon as I got the e-mail with the audition and I saw The Flash, I was immediately excited even though I didn’t have a personal connection with Pied Piper specifically or didn’t know the universe back to front, I saw that red costume and it immediately made me nostalgic for being a kid and playing in my backyard.

Nuke: Was there time to give you a bunch of comics and do a little reading?

AM: Yeah, so that was one of my major geekout moments when I got this job was that a few days after I got cast, I was in touch with DC and they sent over this care package basically of a big old stack of comics with my bits labeled so that I could jump to specifically what I needed to get this crash course on this character and the other characters around me, which was the most fun. After having read Les Miserables in its entirety to prepare for that show, this enormous unabridged French novel where Victor Hugo’s talking about the intricacies of the sewer system of the day for about 500 pages, to then get to read a bunch of comics was a real treat.

Nuke: Is Les Mis the ultimate Broadway show to do?

AM: It’s definitely one of the classics. One of my costars says it’s sort of like the Star Wars of Broadway which I think is really true just in terms of its scope and its fan base and its legacy. So I feel like that. I sort of feel like I couldn’t have asked for a better Broadway debut. It’s definitely not the way most people make their Broadway debut. Most people are lucky to understudy or work their way through the ensemble or be in a few flops before they are in a show that runs long enough that they don’t have to go right back onto the unemployment line, but luckily for whatever reason I’m making my debut in a great role in this show that’s really beloved and I’ve been able to play out my full contract. We didn’t have to worry about the show closing early. So it’s been a real blessing. I couldn’t have imagined it going better.

Nuke: Do you have your eye on movies eventually?

AM: Yeah, that’s sort of the final frontier for me, now that I’ve finally done Broadway and I’ve done a few things on TV. Definitely. People ask me all the time what I prefer, stage or screen? They both have their own advantages. One of the advantages of doing a stage play is that it’s finite. You have one script that is only so many pages long and you do it again and again and again and can sort of get better at it and learn more about it and plan accordingly. Whereas with TV, you don’t know what is coming at you until a few days, a few hours, sometimes even minutes before you shoot it. So you sort of have to just stay on your toes and know the character really well, but there are surprises and sometimes you look back and say, “Oh gosh, if I had only had a little bit more time with this, I could’ve made something more interesting.” So I feel like a film is really the perfect marriage of those things where you have one finite script that isn’t going to change too much and you get to rehearse a little bit more than trying to bang out episode after episode of TV to get a season done. You get to study for a little while and pore over it, but you then get the opportunity to do the intimate work that you’re able to on camera and not have to push your performance out to the last row. So I’m really excited to get the opportunity to do that in the future hopefully because I think it’s going to be the sweet spot of all the things that I like about both mediums.

Nuke: Is The Flash open for you to come back in future episodes?

AM: Without giving too much away, absolutely.

Nuke: I mean, it’s a comic book so that’s not giving anything away.

AM: Right, you know that in comics Piper’s a major, major character. I can’t really speak to what they’re planning. This is obviously its own iteration of this story and there’s going to be some differences of course but the way it’s left, I think with all of the opportunity that they’re giving his relationships with the other characters and how much there is to tell about this one character, I think the probability is pretty high that we’re going to hear from him more.

Nuke: Would you like to cross over on Arrow too?

AM: Oh, absolutely. I’d be thrilled to. I don’t know anyone on that show. I’d make some friends. One of the luxuries of working on Flash was I knew Grant. I went to school with Carlos. He stayed in my apartment when visiting the school and then we did a couple years together at school and did concerts and shows together. I knew Jesse Martin from Smash so I felt like I was coming into this group of friends that I already have and playing around. So I’d like to make some friends on Arrow too.

Nuke: Now you know Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim.

AM: Yes.

Robbie Amell sobre THE FLASH, el origen de Firestorm, la otra mitad de Ronnie Raymond, y más
Por Dave Trumbore 25 enero, 2015

The CW’s The Flash is so hot right now. Lending his smoldering good looks to go along with his character’s pyro powers is Robbie Amell, who stars as Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm. While his cousin Stephen leads the network’s Arrow, you can expect to see a lot more of Robbie in the coming weeks. As he reveals in this interview, new episodes of The Flash will feature Firestorm’s origin story, further complications in the relationship between Ronnie Raymond and Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), and just what Victor Garber’s character Dr. Martin Stein has to do with the nuclear-powered superhero. Check out what Amell told our reporter Sheila Roberts’ about The Flash below and look for our full interview about The Duff soon.

What’s it been like being part of The Flash?

ROBBIE AMELL: Oh, it’s great. I had a show on the CW called The Tomorrow People which was so much fun to shoot. It’s the same executive producer, Greg Berlanti, who offered me the role of Firestorm. Of course, I said yes because I get to play a superhero. I flew back up to Vancouver. I found out while I was shooting Max. I wrapped Max, went to Toronto to see family, and then flew to Vancouver. It was great. About 80 percent of the crew was from The Tomorrow People so it was like going back for a second season. They’ve given me such cool stuff to do with the fire on my hands and shooting stuff out of my hands and flying. It’s just every kid’s dream. And I get to work with Victor Garber. That’s as cool as it gets.

The show has quickly become a fan favorite which is very rare for a season 1 show. When did you first realize the show was so popular?

AMELL: My cousin (Stephen Amell) is Arrow so I’ve seen the unbelievable ride he’s gone on and the amount of fan base that they’ve built. When they did The Flash crossover episode — not this season on The Flash and Arrow – it kind of acted as the first episode of The Flash or the first time that they introduced Flash. You could see that there was going to be something really special there. Grant (Gustin) is so great and the cast they put together is so unbelievable. And The Flash is just such an iconic character. I feel like they’ve really done it right. The visual effects are incredible. They’re pulling all the stops on this. I’m just really excited for all of them. It kind of is what I expected it to be. I expected it to be this big. I would have been a lot more surprised if it wasn’t this big.

What can you tease people about Firestorm and Ronnie Raymond in future episodes?

AMELL: Well, you’ll see in February, I’ve got a couple episodes coming up. You’re going to see my character and you’re going to be introduced to Victor Garber’s character, the other half of Firestorm. Things are not going to be easy. The last time you saw me, I flew away and told Danielle’s (Panabaker) character not to look for me again, and obviously she does if I come back. The relationship there is really difficult. You’ve got two minds inside one body fighting for control. So, it’s going to be dangerous. There are going to be repercussions. But there’s some really cool stuff coming up. It’s tough. I can’t tell you too much. (Laughs)

What were your thoughts on The Flash and Arrow crossover episodes?

AMELL: They were actually the two best episodes of both shows that I have ever seen. I thought that it was the best episode of Flash and the best episode of Arrow. I just thought they were so great. Flash added a little bit of comedy to Arrow and Arrow added a little darker grittiness to Flash. I thought they worked unbelievably well together. I know how hard the cast worked for those episodes because they’re already shooting such incredible hours on each show individually. To go and wrap one show and go shoot the crossover with the other, it was well deserved.

What have the producers told you about future episodes and where your story arc is going?

AMELL: (Laughs) I can’t tell you any of that, but there is some very cool stuff coming up. The next two episodes I’m in, the first one is almost like the origin story of Firestorm. You’ve seen the accident that created it, but this shows you what’s been going on in the time leading up to that and currently inside Ronnie’s head, and hopefully they can figure out what to do about it.

Is it possible there could be a DC spin-off for Firestorm?

AMELL: I don’t know. I mean, they always talk about it. But the tough thing is they’ve already got The Flash. They’ve got Arrow. They’re doing a Super Girl show on CBS. All the people involved are very busy. Who knows?
