About
TOM CAVANAGH is best known for playing the title role on the NBC series "Ed", which ran for four seasons. Now he stars as Dr. Harrison Wells on "The Flash". Dr. Wells is Barry's abrasive mentor, and pretty much the opposite of the nice, "bowling alley lawyer" Tom played on "Ed". Wells is the guy who gave The Flash his powers. But he turned out to be a time traveling imposter called the Reverse-Flash. After they killed off the evil Dr. Wells, they brought Tom back as a different guy from an alternate universe, and now he's a trusted member of the team. "The Flash" airs Tuesday nights on The CW.
