Having joined the Arrowverse as a guest star in the third season of Arrow back in 2014 before taking on a leading role in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Brandon Routh has officially said goodbye to the role of Ray Palmer, with the actor sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram following his final day of shooting on Legends.
“My final day of filming with my #LegendsFamily,” states Routh writes. “I love you all and appreciate the 5 seasons we’ve spent together. It hasn’t always been easy, but I think that’s what makes it harder to leave — getting through the growing pains of the first few seasons has bonded us. And made the last three seasons a blast! I’’ve never been at a job this long, so this is new for me. I think I will miss you all and the fun we’ve had making this silly show on the Waverider —as much as I’ll miss bringing Ray Palmer to life.”
