Out actor Russell Tovey has been cast
as gay superhero The Ray on The CW's upcoming four-part series Crisis
on Earth-X.
The show is part of the network's
Arrow-verse, which includes Supergirl, The Flash,
Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
Tovey will also voice The Ray on the
animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray, which will be
broadcast on the CW Seed network. The series is produced by Marc
Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti, who is engaged to LA Galaxy soccer
player Robbie Rogers. Last year, the
couple welcomed their first son, Caleb Berlanti.
The 35-year-old Tovey is best known for
playing werewolf George Sands in the BBC supernatural drama Being
Human and Harry Doyle on the ABC drama Quantico. He also
played Kevin Matheson in HBO's short-lived gay drama Looking.
The Ray is reporter Raymond “Ray”
Terrill, who received light-based powers while working on a story
about a secret weapon of mass destruction being developed by
government scientists. He fights injustice wherever it exits as a
member of the Freedom Fighters.
According to Entertainment
Weekly, Crisis on Earth-X will be broadcast over two
nights: Monday, November 27 and Tuesday, November 28 on The CW.
Freedom Fighters: The Ray will premiere sometime in the fall.
