producer Greg Berlanti has confirmed which role Shipp will play:

“Given his history with The Flash, [executive producers] Andrew [Kreisberg], Geoff [Johns] and I could only think of one person we wanted to play Barry’s father and that was John Wesley Shipp. He gives a fantastic and emotional performance in the pilot and we are looking forward to his presence in many more episodes.”

Shipp is a talented actor and we are very excited to see how he will portray Henry Allen.
