Whether or not Tom Cavanagh deserves an Emmy, he deserves a shout-out for a huge, largely unsung, chunk of the popularity of CW's The Flash. He's played, effectively, multiple characters on the show, and each has been neatly crafted and portrayed, either as a villain or as just someone to amp up the pressure on the hero (through encouragement, discouragement, or sometimes both). Scenes with him tend to sparkle with tension as he rarely lines up neatly with what everyone else wants or thinks is right.
Without Harrison Wells, and without Cavanagh playing him (them), The Flash would be a far weaker show.
The Flash: The Many Faces of Harrison Wells
Tonight’s episode of The Flash, “Back to Normal,” may focus on the now powerless Barry Allen. But it’s also an important episode for this season’s Harrison “Harry” Wells.
He’s got the best characters on the show. And I really enjoy the program and all the characters. Danielle Panabaker is nearly as good with both of her versions of her character, but the differentiation between the goody goody Caitlyn and Killer Frost is easier to do because they are sharp variations.
I’m still not sure about Teddy Sears as Zoom and “Jay Garrick.” Again Black and White is easier to pull off than Grey vs Gray.
Agreed. I really like him.
Rarely has an actor had a role where he is called upon so often to do good things for bad reasons and bad things for good reasons.
