Barry Allen is getting a looooong helping hand.

"The Flash" has tapped Hartley Sawyer (Y&R) to recur as Ralph Dibny (aka Elongated Man) during Season 4, TVLine has learned.



Dibny is described as “a fast-talking private investigator with investigative skills that rival those of Batman.” Oh, and he can stretch his body to any shape or form. After discovering his new abilities, Dibny uses his superpower to help Team Flash solve one of Central City’s greatest mysteries.

In the DC Comics canon, Ralph Dibny obtained his elasticity from “gingo” fruit extract, which activated a latent metahuman gene. He went on to become a trusted ally of Barry Allen and a member of the Justice League of America.

The actor, who recurred in Season 4 as private eye and eventual Team Flash member Ralph Dibny — aka Elongated Man — has been bumped up to series regular for 2018-19.

A former corrupt cop who was kicked out of the Central City PD for planting evidence, the character debuted in last season’s fourth episode, “Elongated Journey Into Night,” and recurred during the rest of Season 4.
