There is a lot of anger on the casting of Grant Gustin as The Flash because he is only 23! I must remind people that Emily Bett Rickards who plays Felicity Smoak in Arrow was just 21 when the show started and look how she pulled her role off.

Grant Gustin is a pretty decent actor, his Sebastian & Santana’s take on Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal was the best thing that came of Glee. That was by far the sexiest thing on TV between two gay characters who were obviously not into each other. I mean straight character who are supposed to be in love with each other don’t have half of that chemistry in most shows. I have watched it in Youtube many times and will probably watch it some more …

I have faith in the production team of Arrow, I am sure they will write Barry in a way that will do justice to both Grant and the role. I have no idea what was people’s reaction to Stephen Amell when he was cast but I am sure there were many who thought he was not suitable considering his most prominent role before that was of a male prostitute. Look how that turned out.

Let’s give Gustin Grant a chance before writing him off. I, for one, am excited for Flash making an appearance and I am even more glad that he will work with Oliver and Felicity and if his characters goes a flirty flirt with Felicity, that would be the icing on the cake.
