12 Arrowverse Actors You’ve Seen In The DC Universe Before

Who could have predicted back in 2012 that Arrow would eventually spawn not one, not two but three equally successful TV series? In 2014, we got The Flash and then both Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl came along in 2015. That's not to mention the kind of related Constantine and animated miniseries Vixen. It's so big now, in fact, that this corner of the DC world has become its own mini-franchise - dubbed the Arrowverse.

8) Clancy Brown

Arrowverse Role: The Flash as General Wade Eiling

Other DC Universe Roles Include: Superman as Lex Luthor, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited as Lex Luthor, The Batman as Lex Luthor/Mr. Freeze/Bane, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies as Lex Luthor

Clancy Brown’s voice is known the world over as Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants, but DC anoraks will know and love (to hate) him as Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor across various productions over the past twenty years.

Meanwhile, in live-action acting jobs, Brown usually plays gruff authority figures – and he happened to play one, General Wade Eiling, in four episodes of the first season of The Flash. 

7) Teri Hatcher

Arrowverse Role: Supergirl as Queen Rhea

Other DC Universe Roles: Lois & Clark: The New Superman Adventures as Lois Lane, Smallville as Ella Lane

To many fans of a certain age, Teri Hatcher is Lois Lane, thanks to her winning portrayal of Superman’s girlfriend in classic 1990s show Lois & Clark. It’s no surprise, then, that the next generation of DC shows have found roles for her to play. First, she appeared as the mother of Erica Durance’s Lois on Smallville and she’s currently starring as the evil alien queen Rhea on Supergirl season 2. It looks likely that she’ll shape up to be the season’s big bad, as well.
