Liam McIntyre is het meest bekend bij ons nerds en geeks door zijn rol als Spartacus, maar duikt sinds kort ook op in de CW TV serie The Flash waar in hij voor de verandering een villain speelt. Nu had hij een interview met de website Collider en daar kwam ook ter sprake dat Liam gek is op video games en comics.

Collider: We last spoke after you had joined Spartacus, which you were great on. Now, it's so fun to watch you causing some very different trouble on The Flash.

LIAM McINTYRE: I know! It's so much fun. I can't tell people how much fun it is to be a super-villain. Being a villain is cool, but being a supervillain is a different level of exciting, especially The Weather Wizard. I keep getting worried, with every episode, that they'll put too many powers in there and not be able to afford doing the effects for me anymore.

Were you previously a comic book fan, before doing this show?

McINTYRE: I'm a pretty big nerd. That's something I was trying to keep under wraps during the Spartacus days when I was trying be the tough gladiator. I couldn't be like, "Yay, comic books!" I brought my PlayStation to Bulgaria with me, while I'm filming a movie, because why not? It's a bit of a dream come true. It's unbelievably exciting.
