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’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.
