THE FLASH: Teddy Sears on Playing Jay Garrick

THE FLASH introduced Jay Garrick at the very end of last week’s season premiere, as Jay arrived at STAR Labs to deliver a warning to Barry.

It marked the first time Jay had appeared in a live-action story, something that delighted his portrayer, Teddy Sears.

“It’s thrilling…I didn’t anticipate how thrilling it was going to be when I said yes,” Sears told reporters after a recent screening of THE FLASH. “What I didn’t anticipate was how important it felt when I was doing it. It’s weird, and hokey, and maybe very actor-y, but there was something very important that began happening. And most specifically, putting on that helmet…there was a real awe and reverence for seeing this thing. That was absolutely not acted at all. There was such substance in that moment. I keep coming back to this moment of ‘Wow, this feels really important.’ I can’t sum it up any better than that.”

Jay’s Flash costume is very distinctive — and could have posed a problem translating to a real-life outfit.

THE FLASH: Grant Gustin Previews What’s ‘Weighing Heavily’ on Barry in Season 2

We’re just six weeks from THE FLASH’s return, and when viewers find Barry Allen in season 2, he won’t be in the best place.

“Barry has some acclaim, and a lot of love from the city for being the hero he is, and he doesn’t really feel like a hero,” THE FLASH star Grant Gustin (Barry/The Flash) told reporters in the video below. “One of the things that’s really weighing heavily on Barry is he knows Eddie stopped Wells [in the season finale], and that he was the hero that day. But everyone’s giving that credit to The Flash. That’s not fun or easy, I think, for Barry.”

Check out the video for more from Gustin, including why Barry will attempt to be a “lone wolf” in the sophomore year, season 1’s emotional moments, and more… Read more
