Former “Smallville” regular Eric Johnson has been cast as the lead in the SCI FI Channel’s new “Flash Gordon” series.
“Flash Gordon” has a 22-episode commitment from SCI FI and is scheduled for an August 2007 premiere.
Johnson is best-known to genre fans as Whitney, Lana Lang’s boyfriend from the first season of the (then) WB hit, “Smallville.” Johnson reunited with long-time “Smallville” director, Rick Rosenthal for the two-hour “Flash Gordon” pilot.
“Flash Gordon” is still in the process of casting and is looking for actors to take on the roles of Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov.
Jeremy from Seattle says
Awesome, I hope they do it in the 40s style like the BW Holodeck scenes in Voyager.
Kyle Nin says
You mean Captain Proton?
I think that was one of the best parts of “Voyager”.
Barry from Athens says
Am I getting old or does he look about 16?
Kyle Nin says
I think that’s an old picture. He hasn’t been on “Smallville” for about five years, and he was playing a teen on that show. So now he should look a lot older.
