Secret Identities: The Cast in Other Roles

[Trini]

The only cast members I had heard of before they were on The Flash were Jesse Martin and Tom Cavanaugh. I had heard Grant Gustin was on Glee, but I hadn't watched any episodes with him.

[MarkHB]

Tbh, the most impressive thing Grant Gustin has done on this show, to me, is make me forget about Sebastian Smythe (his role on Glee); maybe it's the lack of the patented Dalton Academy hair gel.  I would recommend taking a look at some of Glee Season 3 to see the difference in the characters.

Danielle Panabaker played James Woods' daughter in that show, Shark, I think it was, that aired for a couple of seasons back in 2005 or 2006? So the only actors I was familiar with was Danielle, Tom and Jesse.

[bettername2come]

I knew Danielle Panabaker from Sky High and some Disney Channel and made for TV movies.

[phoenics]

Jesse was in Rent and of course Law and Order.

Jesse was in Rent and of course Law and Order.

 

 

And Ally McBeal. As a potential love interest for Ally, I think. Or maybe they dated. Then he was cast as Detective Green on Law & Order.

OMGOsh I totally forgot about that! That's right he did date Ally... they had nice chemistry.

I found Tom Cavanagh in a Lifetime movie on Netflix A Killer Among Us, in case anyone needs an evil Tom Cavanagh fix while the show's on hiatus. He even takes off his glasses dramatically in a moment of evil!

I had seen Candice Patton on an episode of Rizzoli & Isles and Harry's Law prior to this show. 

[FurryFury]

Tom Cavanaugh recurred as JD's brother on Scrubs. He was very different from Harrison Wells, too. I've only seen Scrubs recently (the entire run except season 9), and my mind was blown. 

[Trini]

So some of the Flash cast are working together to make a short film, The Letter Carrier.

 

Their Kickstarter page; Twitter, and Instagram.

Was Candice Patton also on The Game? I thought I heard that somewhere...

This sounds like a really compelling short film.

Heh; I was looking up Grant Gustin performances and came across this video. So I gather Sebastian was a huge jerk on Glee?

[Oscirus]

Danielle Panabaker was in the Friday the 13th remake. Couple that with Katie Cassidy being in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake and I start to see a pattern emerging. All we need now is for Danielle Harris to be in the newest spinoff and we'll have all 3 major slasher movie remakes covered.

[phoenics]

Also - was CP on The Game too?

[Trini]

[Wow, did I really not put the link in my last post....]

 

If you haven't been following, The Letter Carrier crew reached their fundraising goal; can't wait to see how the film turns out!

 

And a list of the musically trained actors in the Flash/Arrow-verse -- with video! (AKA, musical episode needs to happen)

[bettername2come]

They left out Carlos!

Robbie Amell cast in "Nine Lives".

[GHScorpiosRule]

I can't recall who mentioned it in "Tricksters", but Eiobard Thawne wasn't played by Aaron Eckhart. It was Matthew Letscher, who, ironically, played Tom Cavanaugh's son in Eli Stone. I got a kick out of that, before I cringed in horror at what Reverse Flash did to the real Harrison.

[Trini]

Danielle Panabaker stars in Time Lapse, being released this week:

 

Panabaker’s latest film is the science fiction thriller Time Lapse, which is released in cinemas and on VOD May 15. The film stars the actress, Matt O’Leary (Fat Kid Rules the World, the forthcoming giant wasp movie Stung), and George Finn (90210) as a trio of cash-poor roommates who discover that one of their neighbors has built a giant camera that can take photographs of the future. Directed by first-time filmmaker Bradley King, who co-wrote the script with B.P. Cooper, the result often comes across as a slacker-ized version of sci-fi cult classic Primer as our heroes’ attempts to financially benefit from their discovery leads to disagreement and disaster.

Britne Oldford (Peekaboo) has been cast as the female lead in Hunters, Syfy’s 13-episode, straight-to-series alien drama. I hope she can still show up on The Flash sometime, though.

So Rick Cosnett is going to be in The OC musical?

X-Files casts Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose as new agents

So since Flash episodes aren't on Netflix I sought out other things with the Flash cast on Netflix. I'm watching a Grey's Anatomy episode with Danielle Panabaker and her character just said "Snow is my favorite thing" and I could not stop laughing.

[Trini]

Rick Cosnett's first episode of Quantico is tonight  on ABC.

[Trini]

I saw the ad, but I couldn't find a video, but Candice (and David Ramsey) is part of an ad campaign for Guitar Hero.

Actors David Ramsey of Arrow and Candice Patton of The Flash will compete with each other in an actual Guitar Hero Live competition in special commercials. The spots will air on the network beginning on Wednesday night during Arrow. A commercial that will air on Tuesday night, Oct. 20, during The Flash, will reveal the winner. Guitar Hero Live launches on the 20th.  ...

 

The first 60-second spot will feature Patton playing Guitar Hero Live with some friends when Ramsey shows up and that leads to a challenge to compete against one another. The second 60-second spot will show some of the competition between them and reveal the winner.

During the two weeks between the first commercial that will air during Arrow on Oct. 7 and the second commercial on Oct. 20, which will run during The Flash, The CW will air assorted 15-second vignettes across its shows that will include footage of the two stars preparing for the competition. For CW fans of the two shows, there will be lots of inside dialogue back-and-forth between the two, says Barbra Robin, senior VP, integrated marketing at the network ...

Let's see if this works, Trini:

Carlos' video for his single "Open Your Eyes":

Also Gustin will be presenting with Melissa Benoist at the Golden Globes awards tonight.

Didn't Tom Cavanagh say he used to be on Broadway? I can't seem to remember. The article says that Stephen Amell doesn't sing, but he sang at one of the comic con things and was pretty decent-- his version of a Little Mermaid song was pretty funny.

 

I just started listening to the music video with Carlos and I had to cringe. His singing is fine, but am I the only one who noticed that in the first 30 seconds the sound was very unbalanced and the music was much louder than it should have been, almost sounded off key, and then ended abruptly? Maybe its the quality setting I'm watching, but the music sounded sort of tinny or something-- like a video game (back when they used .midi files). It's not a bad song though.

 

I saw that Tom Cavanagh and David Ramsey were both in the same episode of "Blue Bloods". In a weird twist, David's character was in a wheelchair.

I heard what you heard at the beginning.  It was like one of those 30-key synthesizer keyboards you got as a kid.  You can hear snippets of it later in the song, just not as offensive.  It sounds very much like the song is overproduced.  

That being said, he has a great voice.  

 

Edited because grammar is important.

Heh, when I was a kid it was before those 30 key synthesizers-- instead I had a small electric organ that sat on a table or floor and had to be plugged in. It sounded cooler than the synthesizer thingies. I think I got one of the synthesizer keyboards in my 20s though.

 

I just saw a youtube clip that Tom auditioned for a role on Sliders. I think the did well with the casting choices they ultimately made, but I sometimes wonder what the show would have been like with him on it.

 

I thought Sky High was a cute movie, but I remember very little of it.

 

I loved Jesse L. Martin on Law & Order. I still remember when they basically killed Lenny Brisco off-sceen. He had left and the actor died of cancer shortly after, but they just had him retire on the show. Then they had Jesse's character say something about how sometimes he had dreams where Lenny told him he was alive but when he woke up he realized Lenny was dead. That was a gutpunch moment.

[bettername2come]

Robbie Amell's first X-files ep is on tonight. Really making me appreciate his role as Ronnie, which I think might actually be his strongest performance (although I liked him in The Duff). Also, he's wearing a suit and he looks twelve.

[zannej]

I recently watched the movie Straight-Jacket with Matt Letscher. It was pretty funny. It was hilarious seeing "Eobard" scream like a girl a couple of times.

Teddy Sears (Jay Garrick) cast in the pilot of the 24 revival.

I'd completely forgotten this kid is in these Divergent films. Pic of Keiynan from the Allegiant premiere.

Grant in a indie film:

In his first feature role since his breakout turn as the title character in the hit CW series The Flash, Grant Gustin has agreed to star in Krystal, the indie film that is being directed by William H. Macy. Gustin will star alongside Rosario Dawson, who plays the title character, Nick Robinson, Macy, Felicity Huffman and Kathy Bates. Will Aldis wrote the script and shooting begins next month in Atlanta. Rachel Winter and Dan Keston are producing.

Edited March 29, 2016 by Trini

[Trini]

Grant is on set already for Krystal.

Malese Jow (Linda Park) was in a couple of episodes of NCIS:LA, and it was revealed that she is the daughter of one of the regulars; so she may still show up occasionally.

Peyton List's (Golden Glider) new show:

Quote

Here’s the logline: In this reimagining of the 2000 New Line film, Peyton List stars as a female police detective who in 2016 discovers she is able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father (Riley Smith), whose also was a detective but died in 1996. They forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case, but unintended consequences of the ‘butterfly effect’ wreak havoc in the present day. Devin Kelley, Lenny Jacobson, Anthony Ruivivar and Daniel Bonjour also star.

Patrick Sabongui (Capt. Singh) joins Homeland in recurring role. Crap, I hope he still can be in a few episodes of Flash this season!

And Shantel VanSanten (Patty Spivot) also has a regular role in Shooter for USA network.

I heard Keiynan Lonsdale had dance background, but I didn't know he's a singer too! http://www.keiynan.com/

And apparently, Tom Felton also sings -- this musical episode has the potential for greatness, I'm telling you.

I don't think I would consider that singing. LOL. However, I do remember that they said he sang in a choir when he was younger.

I didn't know much about him, so I read through his wikipedia page, and it says he put out a couple albums a few years ago under his own company. So if they use him for the musical, he won't be completely out of his element!

In other news, Candice is scheduled to be a guest star on Whose Line Is It Anyway? on Sept. 14th.

It was probably pushed to the last Wednesday in September.

Ooh! Thank you! I love that style of music! I want to see the whole thing now. I love stuff set in different time periods, so this is something I would love to watch.

On a side note, I came across this silly short with Matt Letscher and Melissa Joan Hart. Matt's facial expressions were highly amusing and I couldn't help but think that the Reverse Flash's speed powers would have come in handy. Love the last line in it too.
