Arrow Casts Glee's Villain as The Flash Sep 13th 2013, 23:15, by Michael Ausiello Glee alum Grant Gustin has landed a Flashy new role. Arrow has tapped the actor to play the pivotal role Barry Allen (aka The Flash), TVLine has confirmed. RELATED | Arrow Meets The Flash: Powering Up, Casting Leads and More Burning Questions Answered Barry will be introduced in Episodes 8 and 9 of Arrow Season 2 (premiering Oct. 9), as a forensics scientist working for the Central City police department — "just an ordinary man," EP Andrew Kreisberg has said. "That's how the audience will get to know him before life gets a little bit faster." Barry will also appear in Episode 20, a formal backdoor pilot more focused on this new character. DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, Kreisberg and fellow EP Greg Berlanti will cowrite the three Barry Allen episodes, while Arrow/Smallville pilot director David Nutter is on board to direct Episode 20 aka the backdoor pilot. Though the show’s creatives had said a blonde actor “would be preferred,” ultimately they wanted “the best actor for the part” — and/or "someone who look good in red," Johns quipped.
