Arrow spin off The Flash continues to make news with the announcement today that Jesse L. Martin will be co-staring in the upcoming show as Detective West. The Hollywood Reported broke the news today.
If his name sounds familiar as a cop that’s because Martin had a combine 200 Episode run as Detective Ed Green between Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Detective West will be an blue-collar officer and a father figure to Barry Alley.
Although the flash began as a backdoor pilot as part of Arrow, the CW is filming a standalone pilot in hopes of launching a full fledged series alongside Arrow.
I wonder how Jesse Martin feels about being cast once again as a detective.
