The Fastest Man Alive is coming to Dallas Comic Show on February 11-12, 2017. Help us welcome actor John Wesley Shipp to Texas, hot off the heels from his incredible performance on CW’s hit series THE FLASH. John originally rose to fame in the Soap Opera world playing “Kelly Nelson” on GUIDING LIGHT, then “Doug Cummings” on AS THE WORLD TURNS as well as “Martin Ellis” on SANTA BARBARA. In 1990 he starred in THE NEVERENDING STORY II: THE NEXT CHAPTER, but also took the lead in the television series THE FLASH based on the popular DC Comics character.

Shipp has appeared on shows like NYPD BLUE, SISTERS, PALMETTO POINTE, JAG and TEEN WOLF. One of his more famous TV roles was that of “Mitch Leery” on DAWSON’S CREEK. In 2010 John briefly returned to the Flash world by voicing Professor Zoom in BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, but that was just an appetizer for his brilliant integration in CW’s THE FLASH where he plays Barry Allen’s father “Henry Allen”, and has now been revealed as “Jay Garrick” aka The Flash of Earth 3…
Not many actors get the chance to play an iconic superhero in two different incarnations like this, so he’s got a really unique feather in his cap. Let’s give the once and future Scarlet Speedster an enthusiastic welcome!
