Thanks to RD for the heads up.
He will guest-star as the abusive career criminal Lewis Snart.
The Snart family is getting a little bigger.
The CW's The Flash has cast veteran actor Michael Ironside as Lewis Snart, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. He is the estranged, abusive father of villains Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Lisa Snart/Golden Glider (Peyton List).
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Lewis is described as a cold-blooded, ruthless career criminal. Recently released from prison, he returns to Central City with a plan that will endanger both of his children. In the comics, not much is known about the Snart patriarch other than the fact that he was so abusive to his son — the future Captain Cold — that the boy spent more time with his grandfather who ran an ice truck.
Ironside will guest-star in episode 203, entitled "Family of Rogues." Miller and List will also be in the episode as their villainous alter egos.

Father? Interesting. I never thought we'd get to see him. They really building the character for LoT. I like the actor. The role fits him. This casting gave me Smallville feels.
ReplyDeleteThe third episode is going to be called Rogue Family! When was that info released? Do we know the title of the second episode?
why do we need to care about captain cold family? I guessing his father is also a villain...
ReplyDeleteThey are giving his character a backstory for the spinoff. I actually like Captain Cold. It would be interesting to see His father. Leonard and Lisa mentioned him so I would like to see why he was so bad. He is an abusive criminal who has been in jail.
ReplyDeleteOMG !!!
ReplyDeleteLoved Michael Ironside as Ham Tyler in the V movies and TV series.
I approve of this casting. Ironside is a great character actor who is very adept at playing SOBs.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% .
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite role of his ?
Great casting!
ReplyDeleteIronside played the angry old guy so well Hollywood had him playing it before he was actually an old guy himself!!
I'm with Kiloky. Bring on Lewis Snart.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteHe was great as Richter in Total Recall.
ReplyDeleteI want Leonard to introduce him to Barry. "Psycho dad, Flash. Flash, psych dad" lol
ReplyDeleteAwesome Darkseid himself is his dad.
ReplyDeleteIt gave me Darkseid feels.
ReplyDeleteLOIS AND LUCY'S DAD FROM SMALLVILLE?!!!!!!!!! It's hilarious that he's going to play Peyton List's dad again LOL
ReplyDeleteNice casting choice. Exciting to explore more of the Snart family. I wonder if maybe something happens to Lisa and Cold will try to fix it during his LoT run.
ReplyDeleteLove the title "Family of Rouges"
SO Cold would have his own SELFLESS mission for the first time?
ReplyDeleteNothing is selfless with him. He'll maybe twitch some things to his benefit.
