Like father, like son?
The CW’s upcoming superhero series “The Flash” has found its role for John Wesley Shipp, who played the speedy, red-tighted hero in CBS’s “The Flash” in the 1990s.
In a move that’s perhaps not surprising, Shipp has been cast as Henry Allen, the father of Barry Allen, AKA the Flash, who’s being played by “Glee” alum Grant Gustin.
