Harry Potter Star Tom Felton Joins The Flash For Season Three
Updated : July 01, 2016 12:22 PM ISTThe Harry Potter alum Tom Felton has joined the cast of the upcoming third season of The Flash, a rep confirmed to Mashable. The news was first reported by TVLine. The site notes that Felton is expected to make his Flash debut early in Season 3. The character of Felton appears to be entirely new, and not pulled from the comic series that The CW drama is based on.
The 28-year-old actor will be a series regular in the upcoming third season. His character is “a fellow CSI at the Central City Police Department who suspects there’s more to Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) than just his good guy reputation,” according to TV Line. Felton will play Julian Dorn, a detective motivated by a strong suspicion against protagonist Barry Allen, in his second primetime television role. Felton starred on the first season of TNT’s anthology drama Murder in the First in 2014.
The actor is known for playing Harry Potter's arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy throughout the eight Harry Potter movies, and he represents a big coup for the CW series as it heads into its third season. He makes his The Flash debut on Tuesday, October 4.
