AND he will also play. HIS version on The Flash from the Multiverse You DID see the 90's Flash in the wormhole to Earth-2 didn't you? But I am expecting more than just that 1 second cameo

Boy, he's got a great positive vibe. His scenes in the lab with the rest of the team in Flash 117 - let's have more of that, please. And yes, we want to see Henry reveal the fact that Barry's powers were just triggered by the explosion of the particle accelerator.
The Speed Force was handed on to him by his father. Henry Allen, the first Speedster.
JWS in full costume, running side by side with his son - now that's the stuff of legends.

LOL, a 35 year gap between father and son. That's not long at all. Many parents have kids in their 30's.
I always thought Laurel Lance and Quentin Lance's were closely aged, same with Malcolm Merlyn and Tommy Merlyn.

Of course it's realistic. I'm 25 and my dad is 73. And he's still strong as an ox and looks 55.
Judging by how fit Mr. Shipp was in the original Flash, I think he'll do just fine as his father.
Interesting metaphor: he "gave life" to the Flash.

He's playing like oldest dad ever.

He's playing Henry jay

its cool cw is bringing people that used to play characters into the updated versions. smallvill had chris reeves before he died and I belive linda carter who played wonder woman?

I saw the trailor here on IMDB yesterday and saw the scene when Barry's mother was surrounded by the speed demon in the Allen house as young Barry watched and as I tried to slow it down and freeze the scene when Barry and another man was present it did indeed look like JWS behind Barry.

Here is the trailer at the :23 mark it looks like JWS is playing Barry's father
In a time of ancient Gods, Warlords and Kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero The power the passion the danger

I think he might be playing
Barry's father, Henry Allen.
But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's really awesome that he is going to be returning to the Flash's story, he was so good in the old series from the 90s and it sucks that it didn't get a long run.

Rick Cosnett is playing Eddie Thawne/Zoom/Reverse Flash,JWS has a recurring role could be Garrick or Barry's Father
I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through

It might be Professor Zoom. The Reverse Flash?

Yeah you have a point,i read that he will be playing a recurring character if the series get picked up
I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down
Just a phase I'm going through

I hope he is cast as a character that is seen more often that once a month when Barry has time to call on him in prison.
Yes, it would be great if he played Jay Garrick and appeared rather frequently.

I am guessing Barry's Father
I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through

It's Barry father.
