Als je dit bericht nu leest, is afgelopen nacht in Amerika aflevering 7 van The Flash op TV geweest. Hier in was te zien hoe de villian Blackout de stad op stelten heeft gezet en The Flash met hem op de vuist ging. Michael Reventar speelt de rol van Blackout en gaf gisteren een interview aan de website Collider, waar in hij onder andere het volgende vertelde:

Collider: So, how cool is it to get to play a villain on a big superhero show?

MICHAEL REVENTAR: Cool is an understatement. It's been a trip, man. They always say you should enjoy the ride, but sometimes you get on and life just gives you something that you could never plan for. It was just an amazing time.

How did you come to be playing this character on The Flash, and did you even know exactly which character you were auditioning for, or did they keep that a secret?

REVENTAR: It's funny, I was actually in Toronto for the second night of TIFF and I got a call from my agent who said, "I need you to do a self-tape, right away." My best comes out when I'm under pressure, and he was like, "By noon, you've gotta get a self-tape to me." Doing a self-tape is a beast, in itself. It's not the easiest thing to do. So, I went into the studio and did the self-tape. I actually didn't even really like the take that they did, but the director stopped me and said, "That's it. Don't touch it." He sent it off and, six hours later in Toronto on September 5th, we literally went from 41 degrees to the humidity being so crazy that a lightning storm broke out in downtown Toronto. In the midst of that, people were running everywhere and the roads started running. We started joking that the roads were rivers because everything had backed up. And then, I got a call from my agent and he said, "Pack your bags. You're filming The Flash." It was pretty cool.
