The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Robbie Amell will be joining The CW series The Flash in the juicy role of ‘Ronnie Raymond.’ The character is one-half of Firestorm and is also the fiance of Caitlin Snow (to be played by Danielle Panabaker).
“Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg, and myself designed the pilot and series to include Ronnie (aka Firestorm) — and to actually have someone with Robbie’s talent playing the role is beyond exciting. We can’t wait for viewers and fans of the character to check it out,” stated Berlanti to THR.
The Flash is from co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and Amell previously worked with Berlanti on The Tomorrow People. “I’m so excited to join forces with Greg Berlanti and The CW again on The Flash,” said Amell. “Being brought into the DC Universe is a dream, I can’t wait to get started!”
The cast of The Flash is led by Grant Gustin and features Candice Patton as Iris West, Rick Cosnett as Eddie Thawne, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, and Jesse L. Martin as Detective West.
The Flash will debut on The CW on October 7, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT.
