Star Wars Fan Grant Gustin Discusses Working With Mark Hamill On The Flash

One of the greatest casting “gets” for The CW series The Flash last year was landing Mark Hamill as the role of James Jesse, The Trickster, the same role he played in the original Flash TV show.

It isn’t the only big role that Hamill has returned to in the past year — last night especially, Star Wars has been big on the minds of the general public with the release of a new trailer… and very recently, Hamill reprised his Trickster role once again for an episode of The Flash Season Two that has recently been filming.

So what was it like for Grant Gustin, star of The Flash and self-professed Star Wars fan, to be reunited with the once and future “Luke Skywalker?”

“Actually, I have, like, four Star Wars t-shirts in my t-shirt collection,” Gustin admitted to us on the set of The Flash last night, during our press tour that will soon involve more interviews from the set. “I wear them all the time, and I happened to have one on when he was working, but I didn’t know he was working, because we weren’t working together that day…. he gets out of his car, and this time I didn’t have to introduce myself and I said ‘Yo! Mark!’ and I have, like, a Dark Side shirt, and he was like … ‘why are you wearing a Dark Side t-shirt’?” Grant recalled.

“It’s fun. You know, it’s Mark Hamill! It’s really cool to have him on the show.”

The Flash has a new episode airing tonight on The CW, and Mark Hamill returns in an episode airing later in 2015. See photos from tonight’s episode HERE!
