‘The Flash’ Star John Wesley Shipp Shares How He Found Out He’s Playing Jay Garrick After Henry Allen’s Death

John Wesley Shipp didn’t expect that he’s going to play Jay Garrick in Season 3 of “The Flash.” In fact, the actor — who originally played Henry Allen on the CW series — had no idea that he’s playing Earth-3 Flash until a costume fitting.

“I went up to do the last four episodes of the show, last season, figuring that Henry Allen was drawing to a close,” Shipp said during a recent interview with Collider. “What I didn’t know was that I would be coming back.”
