The Flash's Rick Cosnett Joins ABC's Quantico as Gay FBI Analyst
The Flash‘s dearly departed
Rick Cosnett is making a beeline to
Quantico.
The actor is joining ABC’s
promising new fall drama in the recurring role of Elias Harper, a brilliant former defense attorney recruited by Assistant FBI Academy Director Miranda Shaw (
The Mentalist‘s Aunjanue Ellis) to work as an analyst. Elias is described as “very funny,” “kind-hearted” and “openly gay.”
The series follows a diverse new group of Quantico recruits — one of whom will one day be suspected of masterminding the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.
Cosnett, whose
Flash character Eddie perished in the CW drama’s recent Season 1 finale, joins a cast that also includes Priyanka Chopra (
Mary Kom), Jake McLaughlin (
Believe), Josh Hopkins (
Cougar Town), Yasmine Al Massri (
Crossbones), Johanna Braddy (
UnREAL), Tate Ellington (
The Mindy Project) and Graham Rogers (
Revolution).
Quantico premieres Sunday, Sept. 27 at 10/9c on ABC.
