John Wesley Shipp Will Appear In ‘Crisis On Infinite Earths’

The CW is pulling out all the stops for this year’s annual epic crossover event. As first reported by TVInsider, John Wesley Shipp is returning to the Arrowverse for Crisis On Infinite Earths.

Shipp is perhaps best known for originating the role of The Flash on TV. He starred in The Flash original series in 1990-1991 on CBS. More recently, the actor has been a part of The CW’s DC TV shared universe. He has played Dr. Henry Allen, Jay Garrick, and Barry Allen over the show’s last few seasons.

The crossover event will bookend the midseason finales and premieres of all of the DC shows on The CW. Beginning on Supergirl in December and concluding on Legends of Tomorrow in January. It will also include Bruce Wayne (played by Kevin Conroy) and Superman (played by both Tyler Hoechlin & Brandon Routh).
