Smallville’s Johnson Is Flash

April 11, 2007 By Michael Hickerson 5 Comments

Former “Smallville” regular Eric Johnson has been cast as the lead in the SCI FI Channel’s new “Flash Gordon” series.

sv_whitley.jpg“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.

    Awesome, I hope they do it in the 40s style like the BW Holodeck scenes in Voyager.

    You mean Captain Proton?

    I think that was one of the best parts of “Voyager”.

    Am I getting old or does he look about 16?

    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.
