It was revealed today at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills that Prison Break star Wentworth Miller will play Leonard Snart, the man who becomes the Captain Cold, in CW’s Flash TV show.
Captain Cold is a comic book villain created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino as one of the rogues of Flash. He is a leader of The Rogues, a loose criminal association of enemies of the Flash.

Cold has battled the Flash in the comics for half a century. A fan favorite, Captain Cold has served as a bitter enemy to the Silver-Age Flash Barry Allen, both enemy and grudging friend to the third Flash Wally West, and one of the killers of the fourth Flash Bart Allen.
Miller will appear in the fourth episode as Leonard Snart.

Martin as Iris’s father, Detective West, Rick Gosnett as Central City Police Detective Eddie Thawne aka Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon aka Vibe, Danielle Panabaker as S.T.A.R.
