(MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN: How's it going, people?
All right, I am Damian Holbrook from TV Guide magazine.
Thank you, guys, for being here for the Flash panel.
I'm gonna bring everybody out right now.
So, first we got executive producer, Todd Helbing.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Mr. Keiynan Lonsdale.
-(CROWD CHEERING) -(LAUGHING)
Um, Candice Patton.
(CROWD APPLAUDING)
Jesse L. Martin.
-(WHOOPING) -(CHEERING)
Grant Gustin.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Tom Cavanagh!
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
Miss Danielle Panabaker.
Carlos Valdes.
MARTIN: Yay. PATTON: Whoo!
HOLBROOK: And new to this crazy family,
Mr. Tom Felton.
-(CROWD CHEERING) -(WHOOPING)
And executive producer, Aaron Helbing.
-WOMAN: Whoo, whoo! -(CROWD CHEERING)
(WOMAN LAUGHING)
WOMAN: (SCREAMING) Grant! VALDES: Love you!
(LAUGHING)
All right, let's get right to this.
Helbings!
Executive producers.
How big are the changes
that Barry has enacted?
TODD: Ah, well, you saw a little snippet of it. HOLBROOK: Yeah, yeah.
Um, yeah, that mean, this is something that, uh,
is gonna ripple throughout the whole season.
Um, obviously, you know, Barry grew up now
in a different family. His parents were still alive, um...
He didn't grow up with Joe
and Iris in his house.
Um, Cisco, obviously, has gone to make some money.
(LAUGHING)
-Um... -VALDES: I don't know what the hell is going on.
-PANABAKER: Grant's stealing your thunder. -(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Yeah, Grant, still doing a selfie.
GUSTIN: I'm done.
We saw a quick glimpse
of a couple characters in there that seemed to be new
to this Flashpoint.
Um...
A certain black-hooded, masked person.
-Yep. -What was that?
Uh, so, we are doing a really cool thing this year
that we haven't done before. We are doing two big bads.
Um, one is the Speedster
that we'll reveal later,
but the other, uh,
the guy that you saw, the creepy guy with the mask
is Doctor Alchemy.
-HOLBROOK: All right, okay. And what, uh... -(CROWD CHEERING)
Aaron, what can you tell us about Doctor Alchemy?
He's a bad dude. And he's going to, uh,
be a formidable adversary to The Flash and everybody on the team
throughout the season.
And, again, much like last year,
uh, you've got the character and then you've got the voice.
And you guys wanna tell us who's doing the voice this year?
Yeah, it's gonna be voiced by Tobin Bell.
HOLBROOK: Who you guys might know as Jigsaw.
-Jigsaw from Saw. -MAN: Nice.
Because you had to find the one person who is creepier than Tony Todd is.
-(WOMAN CHUCKLES) -HOLBROOK: And that would be Jigsaw.
Um, all right, so...
David Ramsey and Stephen Amell have both mentioned this weekend
that, uh...
the Flashpoint Paradox will affect Arrow.
Uh, can you tell us anything about that?
TODD: Hmm.
Yeah, I mean,
it does affect... Has it's ripple throughout the whole Universe, you know.
So, um...
One of the effects is with Diggle himself.
Um, not gonna be able to give any detail but, uh,
you have to tune in and see exactly how.
Okay. All right.
Um...
So, let's get to our characters and actors,
because, God bless 'em...
-(ALL LAUGHING) -You guys... You guys...
(CROWD CHEERING)
You guys had... You had a rough year.
-(PATTON LAUGHS) -You guys went through it last year.
Um, let's talk about this.
Barry's actions, um...
-Barry. -Sorry.
-He's... (LAUGHS) -(CROWD LAUGHING)
Grant, what is...
How is he going to be... How does he feel about these?
-About these changes? -Yeah.
Yeah, uh, well,
at first Barry doesn't realize how much has changed.
So, I think, I mean, the whole reason he did this is so
his parents would be alive. And they are.
Um, so, I think,
when we find him, he's still kind of living in that,
like, blind bliss.
And just ignoring what other changes are out there,
unaware, at least, when we first find him.
HOLBROOK: Okay. Um, he tends to beat himself up a bit.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-(CHUCKLES) -And as things start to fall into place,
and he starts to realize, like, "Oh!
"The woman I love is the woman who does not know me."
Yeah, well, he knows that, like, a little bit.
I think, Barry, he also knows though
that the conversation from season two finale,
on the porch with Iris
-still happened. -Uh-hmm.
I mean, as far as he remembers.
Like, he remembers that happening, so...
I think, his plans is, like, "I'm just gonna find her,
"Like, and it's gonna work out."
-Like, so, you know. -(ALL LAUGHING)
Good old Barry logic.
Barry logic.
And, uh, how long from the clip we saw, um,
obviously, it comes out that he's done this.
How long is he gonna sit on this secret?
When we find him, it's been... He's been in this timeline
for three months. Yeah, he's been living in this timeline for three months.
So...
He knows... He didn't grow up with Joe.
He didn't grow up with Iris.
Joe and Iris, and Barry are just kind of acquaintances.
They went to school together.
Barry's still CSI, so he still knows Joe from work.
Umm.
Well, like I said, I think he's just kind of, like,
"I'll figure the rest out, like, later.
"Like I just need my parents alive,
"and got that, so, check."
-HOLBROOK: All right. (LAUGHS) -Is that how he talks?
-Yeah, sometimes. -We waited two seasons.
And then this happens.
Does this mean that we're gonna have to wait...
Are we gonna have to wait longer for WestAllen to happen?
I think in any timeline
that Barry and Iris, ultimately, find each other.
-Uh-hmm. -(CROWD CHEERING)
And I feel like
this actually gives us a chance to watch Barry
court her.
To like get to know her, you know, like, start fresh.
-And we get to see... -You're such a romantic.
I'm a little romantic. I'm a little WestAllen-er.
I want it. I want it.
Um...
Candice, Iris is amazing.
She is just so great.
-(CROWD CHEERING) -Um, and last year...
Last year, we got to see a lot of the characters develop
into this new form of what they were capable of.
We saw you last year and...
Part of us,
part of me, at least, was, like, "She's so amazing.
"Is she gonna wait around forever?"
Like, this girl is not gonna stay off the market long.
-Oh, wow! -Hmm.
Wow. Wow. You think a lot of her. I love that. Wow.
Umm.
I think, she... I think, the thing about Iris and staying off the market.
I think, she had to fully grieve
the death of Eddie.
Obviously, Barry was involved with Patty at the beginning of season two.
And she was respectful of that relationship, and quite supportive of that.
And, I think, you know, she had to come to a place in her life
where she had grieved Eddie and was finally ready to move on.
Then we saw her trying to do that with Scott Evans a little bit,
-her editor, which is a little suspect. -HOLBROOK: Uh-hmm.
(LAUGHING)
And, I think, that catapulted her into, um,
realizing that if she was going to move on,
that the person she really wanted to do that with was Barry Allen.
Um, so, I think, it was a really great move on the writers' part.
You know, when she was ready to move on, it took her a while.
She didn't just rush into a new relationship. She waited and...
And she knew it should be with Barry.
Um, one of the things, also, that
I loved seeing start to develop because of this kind of reset,
um, the idea of Caitlin and Iris
being friends.
And hanging out, like, you know, having that connection.
Where does this place them now?
Because I'd ship them too.
-Oh, wow, what do you call that ship? -PANABAKER: Yeah,
what's that ship named?
This shipping thing is wow. (CLEARS THROAT)
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
what the female friendships are gonna look like this season.
But, I think, I would say for both of us
that anytime we can have women on television
that are friendly and supportive, I think we should do that.
-I love that and, um, so... -(CROWD CHEERING)
It's so nice to see these characters not fighting over a guy.
Absolutely. I would have issue with that as well.
Um, but...
Danielle,
obsessed with Killer Frost.
-Oh. -Obsessed.
Um, who knew you had it in you?
Well, thanks. (LAUGHS)
Um... So, was being bad so much more fun?
Ah, it was a treat, you know.
It's so fun to be on a show where that's a possibility,
where, for two episodes, everybody in our cast
did an unbelievable job
with their Earth-2 doppelgangers.
It's like, you know,
it's bonkers to look around on set and to see,
you know, Reverb and Cisco. (STAMMERS)
It's really a testament to the show as a whole
that we were able to pull that off.
What did you think when you saw her costume?
-Oh, I loved it. -(LAUGHING)
It was so fun. I mean, we had a little bit of time
to try a few different things.
Do you know the original wig
that we tried for Killer Frost
was like a short, little pixie wig.
And, I was like, "But what if we put a little more hair in?"
And it just kept getting longer and longer and longer till
what we ended up with.
Love it. Um, all right, so, she's had it rough.
She's, you know,
everyone she loves dies,
is sucked into a portal, you know, a villainess.
Um, they're erased from history.
Any chance that with this new world,
we can find her happy?
-(ALL LAUGHING) -CAVANAGH: Sorry.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
That didn't sound very sincere.
Yeah, it did. It did.
I hope so.
Even if Grant doesn't, I hope so.
-Oh, course I hope so. -Of course he does. We all do.
HOLBROOK: Nobody does heartbreak better.
-So... -Aw, thank you.
Um, all right, Carlos... Carlos.
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING) -Carlos.
Talk about a hero's journey.
-HOLBROOK: We got... -(ALL LAUGHING)
Um, what can you...
Obviously, we now know what... The question was...
'Cause we didn't see this clip until today, right now.
My question was, what is the next step in...
In his evolutionary development?
But it looks like we get a very different Cisco.
-Yeah. -HOLBROOK: Tell us...
Tell us... Tell us about how he got there.
Um, well...
So, Barry turned back time,
and he sort of created different timeline in the process.
Some would call that Flashpoint.
Um... Yeah.
And in that different timeline,
Cisco is an ostentatious billionaire.
GUSTIN: As he should be.
Yeah, he flossin.
(ALL LAUGH)
So, there you go.
HOLBROOK: And what is his... What is his specialty?
Um, making money.
HOLBROOK: Nice! VALDES: Like...
Like, legitimately, like, that's all his arch.
HOLBROOK: Just keep making money.
He's always flexing how much money he has and how rich he is.
So, that's pretty much his...
His best quality is as a person...
HOLBROOK: So, wait, does this mean no more, like, quips or movie lines or...
There are definitely quips. I think regardless of the fact
that this is a different version of Cisco,
I think the core is still the same.
You know what I mean? He's still very quick,
he's still an engineer at heart, he's fascinated
with the way the world works, and he's...
He's very good at what he does, you know?
HOLBROOK: All right. Okay. And, uh, Jesse.
-MARTIN: Yes. -Jesse.
Um, Joe West is the dad we all want.
-Aw. -He is the dad we all want.
-(MARTIN CHUCKLES) -But we also want daddy to be happy.
Yes, daddy wants to be happy too.
-What... -Well, all right.
Where is he?
You mean, with happiness?
HOLBROOK: In our new timeline, how's he doing?
He's very unhappy.
(CHUCKLES)
He is. He's very unhappy. I...
Things at home aren't going very well.
Um, he's having a particular issue with
his youngest and only daughter.
And, uh...
It doesn't seem solvable.
So, Joe gets quite depressed about it
and it starts to affect his life, it starts to affect his work,
and even tough him and Barry aren't tight like that anymore,
we do work together.
Barry is the one that makes sure Joe still has a job.
-HOLBROOK: Hm. -Because things get so dire that
Joe doesn't want to do anything, to be honest.
Um, so...
Yeah, so, we are still in that journey to the happy thing.
HOLBROOK: All right. Okay. Um, Tom Cavanagh.
-If... -(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
-AKA... -Carlos Valdes.
Yeah.
HOLBROOK: If Joe West is the dad we all want,
Harrison Wells is the uncle we all fear.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Um, yet his relationship with Jesse last season
showed us a side of him that we had never known he was capable of.
Now that he's off into...
Back into his own world,
uh, we still don't know how he comes back,
but when he does come back,
has his relationship with Jesse
and he changes that have been triggered,
have they mellowed him out?
-Who knows, Damian, really? Like... -(LAUGHS)
You know, that's a solid, strong, eviscerating question
and I can't give you the answer to that right now.
Um, but, uh...
I, uh... I will say that
um, it's enjoyable if, by the time this season,
the show, is done its run,
if I can get to triple digits in the number of characters that I play.
(ALL LAUGHING)
That'll be a nice little bucket list then checked off.
HOLBROOK: Well, that was the one thing I also wanted to ask.
Grant, how many times have you filmed
your mother character's murder?
I mean, how many times is this man gonna show up in the living room?
No, I know. I mean, for real. I think we've...
Uh, we've been in that room shooting versions of that scene,
like, at least, I wanna say five, six times.
So, I mean, it's... Yeah. And Michelle, that plays Nora Allen,
is, like the most amazing actress
and it just, like, gets there every time.
I can't think of that storyline without tears welling up.
But, for real.
-So I'm not gonna go there. -There you go. All right.
Uh, Keiynan Lonsdale.
-We saw what you're doing. -(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
-What'd you see? What'd you see? -What's up?
How is Kid Flash?
-He's good. -Yeah?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Did you realize that you were gonna end up in that suit
so quickly after joining?
No, not so quickly.
I mean, I had an idea that it would happen eventually,
but, um, yeah, when I got the script
I was like, "Ooh! This is happening."
-Uh-hm. -Um, and
I was actually having not a great day that day
so that definitely made my day.
HOLBROOK: All right, and tell us about the costume.
What do you guys think?
(LOUD CHEERS)
And what kind of Speedster is he compared to Barry Allen?
Um, I mean, there's similar qualities, I, I...
He's Kid Flash, so I try to play him with, um, a really,
uh, young, light-hearted
almost cockiness to him,
um, that can sometimes be his downfall.
Um, but he is just in a really good place mentally.
Like, he's never felt more sure of himself.
-Yeah. -Okay. All right.
HOLBROOK: Okay, so, between the Wests,
the Wells and the Allens
I feel like the Wests are the healthiest family
in Central City.
How is the dynamic with the three of you?
-In real life? -Yeah.
-Oh, in real life. -Pretty good, yeah.
-These my peoples, like... -(LAUGHS)
It's super healthy.
I mean, I think the reason that we can sit down
and have those great family scenes is,
you know, we have such a great rapport with each other.
And so, we... There's heavy work to do
and there's emotional scenes, we just
sit down and have the conversation.
We have family moments too.
Like, when I picked Candice up from the airport
and then Candice's car didn't work and then
me, Jesse and... We're all just standing there like,
-"What are we gonna do?" -My car broke down,
and like, Keiynan had to come to my rescue.
It was like real brother sister stuff.
We got our papa there and he's telling us what to do.
-It's just like a real family. -Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
You went to get a guy to jump my car...
-It was like a real family moment. -Like, Flashpoint though,
that's another story though.
-Yeah, yeah. -(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, you guys ain't so tight.
-Thank you, Grant. -Sorry.
-Sorry again. -(HOLBROOK LAUGHS)
-Uh, Mr. Tom Felton. -Hello.
(LOUD CHEERING)
Thank you.
How about that?
Yeah, it's good to be back. Thank you.
HOLBROOK: So, I think they recognize you.
It's surreal, yeah.
Last, last time I was here I was representing a franchise
symbolized by a lightning bolt.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
HOLBROOK: Wow!
And here I am. So, yeah...
That just hit me like, now.
-It was weird. -I hadn't thought of that.
That is insane actually.
-Um, so this character Julian... -Yes.
...we hear he's smart and he suspects Barry is hiding something.
You know more than I.
-Okay, well... -(LAUGHS)
Should we see this guy as a threat?
Any character I play, you should see as a threat.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Uh, I don't...
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
I honestly don't know.
Um, I tried to get both of these writers
tipsy last night to pry some information out of them,
and, uh, to no joy. So...
I'm not sure. The first two episodes that we're into so far,
there's definitely some...
Some friction, shall we say, between Barry and, uh, Julian.
He definitely, sort of, treads on the toes of Barry's
expertise. Um...
Being a sort of forensic expert. So,
yeah, there's some feathers ruffled pretty early on.
So I'm intrigued to know where it goes.
And anyone else maybe on this panel
that Julian interacts with
on a more pleasant level?
I think we're pretty pleasant with each other.
Yes, yes, well,
I didn't wanna tell them about our romantic...
-(MARTIN LAUGHS) -Felt too soon.
HOLBROOK: That's why things aren't going well at home for Joe.
(LAUGHING)
Um, honestly I don't know.
It'd be much easier, well, be harder if I did know
but the fact that I don't...
It's this man's fault. He's not telling anything.
Um, but it's exciting.
I know there's gonna be a lot to sink my teeth into,
and if the last two seasons have,
you know, have anything to go by,
-anything's possible. -Yeah.
Could literally be playing...
I could be a woman by episode six.
(ALL LAUGH)
All right, so for the Helbings, um,
this is, I mean, it sounds like
you have given everyone here
a new character to play.
-Yeah. -How great is that for the actors?
-Awesome. -Yeah. So,
what is it like getting the scripts and saying,
like, "This is not the...
"This is not the Iris I was?"
I mean, the thing about Flashpoint, I think,
for my character actually,
she's quite similar. Um, but to your point
in, you know, Earth-2
we're all going to play different versions of our characters.
And, you sign on to do a show,
you think you're playing one character for that many years.
This is one of the rare shows where you get to
expand and play as an actor.
And that's really exciting.
It makes me excited to go to work.
Especially for many, many years to come.
MARTIN: Mm-hm.
-Hopefully, hopefully. -(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
For Grant and Jesse, um,
for a lot of viewers it is,
we know that if there's a possibility that you two are in a scene
that's not in the police station, we're gonna cry.
(LAUGHS)
Like, if they're at a dinner table, we're dead.
(LAUGHS)
Do you guys have that thing where you're like,
"Oh, okay. So this is where we're gonna make people cry."
-No. -Yeah, no.
No. I mean, I don't think
we ever set out to make anybody cry.
-I mean... -But you do it all the time.
(LAUGHS)
Not on purpose. I mean...
-Help me out. -Yeah. No, I don't know.
I don't think that's ever like a goal, um,
it's just, it's good writing, good stories and I think
our real-life bond is strong
and Barry and Joe's relationship is pretty special
and they've been through a lot.
And it's interesting now
because it's gotten to a point...
I guess it's not that way anymore
but it had gotten to a point where
Joe's always giving Barry advice
but, you know, Barry who has kind of has been there for Joe as well.
-Exactly. -It's a really cool relationship.
But not like we ever set out to be like,
"Y'all gonna cry!"
(LAUGHS)
Now that things have been kind of reversed,
what is Barry's relationship with Harrison like?
Uh, well...
What do I say to that? (CHUCKLES) I mean...
-Harry left. -Yeah.
And he's gone.
So, like in Flashpoint he is
-not around. -Not there.
So, it's nonexistent, I guess.
HOLBROOK: Tom, that must be awesome for you.
What's nice is, you know, not being on the show
and being allowed to come down to Comic-Con.
GUSTIN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(LAUGHING)
I've been crashing on Jesse's sofa
and Grant's been bringing me food and it's like...
How'd you get on the panel, by the way?
I don't know. They just, like...
Like a little convincing talking and...
-VALDES: I got him in with... -Yeah, that's right.
It's really welcoming. It's nice.
This is the kind of generous cast that I've been
-aligned with. -(LAUGHS)
So, I'm grateful.
HOLBROOK: Um, one thing that we're grateful for
from last season is the stuff that you and Carlos got to do.
These two were hilarious.
Oh, my gosh.
That was so much fun to watch you two go at it.
You're like The Bickersons.
How much fun was it developing that dynamic between you two?
Go, 'Los, go.
Um, it was a blast. It was a blast, man.
It was so fun.
(VALDES AND CAVANAGH CROSSTALK)
(GUSTIN BEATBOXING)
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
And then eventually one of us stopped...
CAVANAGH: Nobody, nobody, nobody...
GUSTIN: You guys are so annoying.
(LAUGHING)
-So there you go. -CAVANAGH: That's the answer.
HOLBROOK: Um... (LAUGHS)
I don't even know what happened just now.
I think I may have just had a Flashpoint.
(CHORTLES)
So, when this panel was announced,
I had tweeted out that
-Grant should prepare. -Yeah, you did.
-I tweeted you back. -Because, something that...
When you guys started working together, Jesse and Grant,
-um, there was some off-camera... -Yeah.
...cultural arts development.
-(LAUGHS) -Wow, that's a nice way to put it.
Um, where you both
started to dance.
-We always had been. -You've always...
But one of you could tap dance,
-one of you could not. -No, no, no.
-No, we can both tap dance. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's just a little better than me.
-He's just a little... -He's better, he's better.
Well, we would like to see, actually, who's better.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Whoo!
(LAUGHING)
He's a better tap dancer than me.
(STARTS TAP DANCING)
HOLBROOK: Yeah.
GUSTIN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(HOLBROOK LAUGHS)
(BEATBOXING)
(HOLBROOK LAUGHS)
There we go.
(APPLAUDING)
Whoo!
I literally tweeted him that I would not do that.
(MARTIN LAUGHS)
But he suckered me in, and I like you guys.
Maybe Flashpoint will bring some more of that kind of stuff.
HOLBROOK: Oh, yeah. All right.
Oh, something, first of all.
-The crossovers. -Crossovers.
-Crossovers. Especially... -(LOUD CHEERS)
The really fun one-offs
where we get to see, like,
just like, Diggle'll turn up for the King Shark.
I think we're just seeing Diggle turn up.
I was like, "That'd be odd."
Let's go!
(INDISTINCT)
Do you have any lined up that you can announce right now?
Uh, yeah, episode 2,
we're gonna have a little Felicity on the show.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
And, uh, what can you tell us will she be doing?
Uh, she and Barry are...
-She's giving advice. -Yeah.
Yeah, she's giving advice.
(LAUGHING)
-Cool T-shirt. -Cool T-shirt.
-Killin' it. -Yeah.
VALDES: Oh, cool jacket too.
Very on brand.
GUSTIN: Repping both crossovers.
(ALL LAUGH)
Hi, my name is Michael
and I'm from Central City... I mean...
Nailed it.
Menifee, California.
So, I was just wondering
you guys have introduced a lot of Speedsters to the show.
Like, Jay Garrick, Wally West, Jesse Quick,
are you gonna introduce Bart Allen
and how would you do it?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
As of now we're not but, uh,
you know, it's The Flash, so, um,
anything's possible.
-HOLBROOK: Thank you. -Nice.
MAN: Hey, what's up, guys? Name's Spencer.
My question is kind of a crossover question
between Legends and The Flash.
How critically will Barry's decisions
play a role in Legends and vice versa?
It's all one universe, so they all have ripples.
But those guys are traveling through time,
you know, in their own mission,
so, they're kinda in their own timeline too.
Um, it's really, you...
What we're showing is it's really affecting Arrow,
so you'll see it on that side mostly.
Hi, guys, I'm Kylie.
I'm from San Diego.
-And my question... -(PEOPLE CHEER)
(CHUCKLES) My question was
if you weren't casted as
the role you played,
um, what character would you like to play?
GUSTIN: On the same show? On Flash?
-Cool. -(KYLIE CHUCKLES)
Cisco.
I was gonna say Cisco too.
-Me too. -(LAUGHS)
We'll all play Cisco I think.
I don't wanna be like... Harry.
I think that's a great character.
CAVANAGH: So we could still have those interactions.
-Exactly. -(LAUGHS)
We would just be flip-flopped.
And so you can throw stuff around?
CAVANAGH: Flop-flipping. That's good.
Thanks for having us in San Diego, by the way.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Awesome. And this is gonna be the last question.
So, okay.
-Sick cowl. -This is it.
-Cool mask, bro. -MARTIN: Killin' it.
-Hi, I'm... -(LAUGHS)
My name is Chris. I'm from Lemoore, California.
Uh, I just wanted to ask
how did it feel to work with Kevin Smith?
Oh, the best.
-VALDES: He is the man. -The best.
Yeah, the best.
Yeah, he's just the most genuine guy.
Yeah, that's a tremendous question to end it on,
because we, I think,
collectively just think the world of Kevin Smith.
I'm sure all of you people who know him...
-(AUDIENCE CHEERS) -Yeah, yeah.
Well-deserved applause. Yeah.
He's tremendous. We loved working with him.
Yeah. We worked with him towards the end of the season and he...
It's a long season and we love our job,
but you're tired at the end of the season,

And that's not a director's job
but he did it and it was impressive.
I mean, right before we would do a take,
he would say, "All right, best job in the world.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's do it."
That speaks to like what a mensch that guy is.

We took a picture together, like,
before we even shot the scene.
He, like, needed a picture with me in the suit.
It makes you excited about what you do.
Awesome. He's awesome.
HOLBROOK: Thank you, guys. You were an incredible crowd.
-Thank you. -Let's give it up for The Flash!
