Coming hot on the heels of the casting of Candice Patton (The Game) as Iris West, it’s been announced that Broadway star Carlos Valdes has been cast as Cisco Ramon, “a mechanical engineering genius and the youngest member of the team of scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs.” Ramon is better known to DC Comics fans as Vibe, a character created by Gerry Conway and Chuck Patton who made his debut back in 1984’s Justice League of America Annual #2.
The cast of The Flash is starting to take shape ahead of filming on the pilot this March, with Grant Gustin’s Scarlett Speedster also set to be joined by Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order) as Iris’ father Detective West, Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th) as Caitlin Snow, a.k.a. Killer Frost, and Rick Gosnett (The Vampire Diaries) as Eddie Thawne, who is rumoured to be an alias for Eobard Thawne, better known as Professor Zoom / Reverse-Flash.
