The Flash – Paradox Scene
Tom was also mentioned in various interviews.
IGN: We’re finally meeting Tom Felton’s character Julian Albert in episode 2. What can you tease about what role he’s going to play broadly in The Flash this season, and why are you excited about people meeting his character?
Helbing: First, Tom is amazing. Every scene he has with Barry, they’re amazing. We just really got excited. [Barry] is a guy who, at 25, has sort of had free reign in the CSI lab and he’s been easily able to use all the information he gets on the metahumans to solve the crimes and take that information back to Star Labs. We really were excited about having a workplace antagonist and to have that extra obstacle through the whole season and to have a guy that is on to you, that something’s not quite right with who you are and what you’re doing and the absences you have at work and all of this time that you’re gone. Julian is a smart guy, so he starts to figure out exactly what it is that Barry is doing. Not in the regard that he figures out he’s the Flash, but in the regard that everybody else has turned a blind eye to what you’re doing, but I don’t. It was an exciting scenario to put Barry in.
Access: Tom Felton [makes his ‘Flash’ debut in this episode]. … When you were crafting that character, you didn’t know who you were going to cast, right? I am curious if he had any influence on the tweaks you made to that character once you knew you got Tom in?
Todd: You write the character a certain way, and I mean, he was always going to be this prickly antagonist who is Barry’s — in a lot of ways, his boss and sort of is on to his disappearances and he’s a smart guy, so he starts to figure out something is wrong with Barry, and he doesn’t like him because of that. But … as the season goes on and you start to see more and more scenes, [you] start to pick out what’s really working and the chemistry between these two guys and then you can just write to make the scenes that much better, just more informed. So it certainly changes and evolves over the course of the season. A perfect example is last year, I think in our first table read with Harry, Tom [Cavanagh] was crossing out dialogue, and we’re like, ‘Oh crap he hates this.’ But it wasn’t that. He just felt like his character said less. And you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s so right. Why don’t we do that?’ And it’s just more informed moving forward. Read more atAccess Hollywood
Entertainment Weekly has released an exclusive first official look at Tom Felton’s debut in the TV series The Flash. In the article below, EW also reports how ‘The Flash’ will handle ‘Harry Potter’ jokes.
Tom Felton is coming to The Flash — and EW has an exclusive first look at his debut.
With Tom Felton joining The Flash in season 3, one burning question remains unanswered: How will The CW’s super series now handle Harry Potter jokes? The Flash — particularly when it comes to the Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) character — has always been ripe with pop culture references, Harry Potter being no exception. But now that Felton has been added to the cast as CSI tech Julian Dorn, will that throw a wrench in future jokes about the boy who lived? In short, no!
“Tom Felton is portraying a character on our show — he’s not portraying Tom Felton,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “Cisco will continue to make pop culture references. We’re, generally speaking, not afraid to have a little bit of a meta-moment.”
In fact, Felton hopes his character is the first to make a Potter joke in season 3. “I’m so excited for the references,” Felton says. “I don’t doubt the talent and creativity of the writers. I’ve got a feeling they’ll come up with some real good ones. I hadn’t thought about me saying it — I assumed it would come at me from Cisco — but maybe I should give it to Cisco. Maybe he should misquote something and I could correct him.”
Though Felton doesn’t appear in the premiere episode, executive producer Todd Helbing teases that he’ll act as a rival, of sorts, for Barry (Grant Gustin) this season. “He’s a direct result of Flashpoint,” Helbing says. “Barry’s had that lab to himself, but now he’s got to share it with this guy, who doesn’t really like him and is kind of prickly.”
The CW has also released more official preview photos from “Paradox”, the second episode of The Flash’s third season, where Tom will have his first appearance.
