Actress known for her heartbreaking turn as sweet, sensitive, dead Beth on AMC’s zombie romp plays villain Brie Larvan on freshman superhero series
Former “Walking Dead” star Emily Kinney joins the cast of “The Flash” as the villain Bug-Eyed Bandit/Brie Larvan, a spokesperson for The CW told TheWrap on Monday.
Kinney’s casting comes just a few months after the actress’s character was killed off of AMC’s highly rated zombie series.
Brie, a re-imagining of the classic DC villain Bertram Larvan, is described as a narcissistic tech wizard who wreaks havoc on Central City, which The Flash (Grant Gustin) has sworn to protect. She’s billed as a nemesis for the “Arrow” character Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), who sometimes crosses over to “The Flash.”
Felicity and Brie will engage in a hacker battle for The Flash’s life on Episode 18 of the freshman drama.
In addition to starring on nearly 50 episodes of “The Walking Dead” as Beth Greene before being killed off last November, Kinney has appeared on individual episodes of Fox’s “The Following,” NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and ABC’s “Forever.” She also had a short run on Showtime’s “The Big C.”
