John Barrowman
Since 2012, Barrowman has portrayed Malcolm Merlyn, one of the main antagonists in The CW series "Arrow". Barrowman was a recurring cast member for the first two seasons and was promoted to a main cast member beginning with the third season. By July 2016, he signed a deal that allows him to continue being a series regular on "Arrow" as well as the other superhero shows produced by Greg Berlanti, including "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow". In the "Flash" third season episode “Duet”, he plays gangster Cutter Moran in the dreamworld the Music Meister sets up. Despite announcing in May 2017 that he is leaving the Arrowverse television franchise, Barrowman returned as Malcolm Merlyn in the second part of the Elseworlds crossover, hallucinated by Barry Allen, situated in a universe rewritten by the Book of Destiny where Allen is perceived to be Oliver Queen. When reality is rewritten again, Merlyn is situated as a Central City Police officer who arrests Barry and Oliver, rewritten as the Trigger Twins.
