Russell Tovey To Play Gay Super-Hero On Super Crossover Storyline On The CW

Woofy actor Russell Tovey (HBO's Looking, Being Human) will take a turn as gay super-hero The Ray in an upcoming four-episode storyline that will crossover four current shows on The CW.

From The CW website:

Raymond “Ray” Terrill was a reporter who discovered a group of government scientists working on a secret project to turn light into a weapon of mass destruction. But before he could report on his findings, the project head exposed Ray to a “genetic light bomb.” The bomb failed to kill him and instead gifted Ray with light-based powers. With these abilities, Ray realized he could go beyond reporting on injustice — he could take action to help stop it. Calling himself The Ray, he was recruited by Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters to fight violence and oppression wherever it exists.

Look for the "Crisis on Earth-X" event November 27-28 airing across Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash and Arrow.
