THR is reporting that Patrick Sabongui has been cast as Barry Allen’s boss at the Central City crime lab, Police Captain (not Director?) David Singh. Viewers will no doubt remember that Singh was name-dropped during Barry Allen’s guest spot on Arrow. The role is described as a guest spot that will become a recurring role if the series is picked up.

In the comics, Singh is involved with Hartley Rathaway, a.k.a. the Pied Piper, a former Rogue who has since reformed — though the relationship is kept quiet, because while Hartley is openly gay, David is still in the closet. Hartley Rathaway’s name has been floated as a recurring role, but no casting announcement has been made so far.

The pilot episode has been filming this week, so I assume the casting had already been set and has only just been announced.
