Currently appearing on the Great White Way in the stunning revival of "Les Mis" as Marius, Mientus is raising the decibel levels on the television season's biggest hit, the CW's action series "The Flash" as the hero's sonically-inclined adversary: The Pied Piper.

Landing this part was a coup for the latest actor to be primetime player this confirmed for Ryan season. (Source:Serge PR) the talented Mientus - describing it as a "dream job" - who has Murphy's upcoming horror-comedy anthology series also appeared on the short-lived NBC musical "Smash" (cancelled "Scream Queens." largely due to its over-inflated budget and not the widely regarded myth that it was suffering low in the ratings) and is also joining the cast of the ABC Family series 'The Man in the High "Chasing Life" all the while juggling his stage commitments. Castle' Pilot Soars Above Amazon's New Adding onto his resume, Mientus' Pied Piper is a dangerously crafty opponent taking on the Scarlet Speedster Season and is among one of the hero's most dastardly rogues. "DC was really great about sending along a big old care By Jason St. Amand | Jan 31 package of comics - specifically labeled with what I should be looking at." Mientus began to research the The takeaway show from character which was introduced in 1959, and has been battling the Flash ever since. His portrayal of Hartley Amazon Studios' new pilot season is "The Man in the Rathaway (the Pied Piper's true identity) immediately got the attention of fan boys and industry insiders, as the High Castle" -- an alternative history series that reveals a world if Nazi Germany and Japan won World Pied Piper is among the few characters in comics that is narrated as openly gay.

Asked if it's true that actors have more fun playing the bad guy as opposed to the hero, Mientus is quick to point out that the Pied Piper isn't your regular bank-heisting baddie. "It's really fun to play this villain, because you're not really sure where he stands." Mientus as the "Pied Piper" unleashes Mientus' Hartley Rathaway is a brilliant scientist who finds his treachery on "The Flash".

"It's fun because the villains always get the most maniacal dialogue, but this guy has a whole lot going on." After a freak accident at the lab leaves Hartley with a hearing impediment, he returns to exact his twisted revenge on Wells and his family's business. Mientus' Pied Piper though is not the only character on the show that has also revealed their gay orientation. Central City Police Captain David Singh (played by series cast member actor Patrick Sabongui) made it very clear of how strict his boyfriend is about their diet at home, forcing Singh to keep his indulgence in a fast-food "Big Belly Burger" combo a secret. Comic book fact: In the DC Comics continuity Rathaway and Singh have actually dated (it's a small multiverse indeed). Andy Mientus' Pied Piper also delivers the best line of the season thus far. After having confronted and been captured by the Flash (series lead Grant Gustin), he admits that it's always been a fantasy of his to be taken prisoner by a man clad in skin tight leather. "That was the first scene that Grant and I shot together," Mientus revealed."We were both standing there in these [super] costumes waiting for the elevator doors to open [onto the S.T.A.R. Labs set, the main hub for all of the Flash's superhero activity] and it was so surreal - definitely one of those 'Dear Diary' moments." It helped that the two actors have known each other professional for a very long time. "We had a blast doing that scene. It was a really fun day!" Arch Enemies? Think Not! Follow EDGE Taking it one step further, Mientus admitted that there was an Stay up to date with gay breaking news, arts additional line in the scene where he implies that the red-clad reviews, interviews, giveaways and more: Flash isn't as "cute" in his form-fitting super tights as he may think he is, but it got cut for obvious reasons. As Mientus further EDGE Media Network page on illustrated, "Grant looks great in the suit." Andy Mientus' history Facebook with "The Flash" goes further back.

Fans of Andy Mientus and his Pied Piper are guaranteed to see more of him this season especially as his story continues to unfold. "I just love this role," he said, "but more specifically, I just love this cast and crew - they're the best!" With his character having made such an enigmatic entrance, you can bet Mientus has more in his repertoire and is prepared to suit up for his next adventure, which we understand is already in the works. With the joyous news of his recent engagement to fellow theater actor Michael Arden, Mientus also joins the ranks of his peers in the business (including Wentworth Miller who plays the villain Captain Cold also introduced this season on "The Flash") who are out about their sexual orientation. "I get letters all the time," he says from young LGBT fans. "Kids really respond to something when it comes off as not a 'really big deal.' It's not the focus of my career, and is just another cool thing about me." Another fun fact! Andy Mientus will continue to scheme against the forces of good, Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on the CW's "The Flash," and he can also be seen (and heard) as Marius on Broadway in the critically acclaimed revival of the modern-classic "Les Miz" at the Imperial Theatre in New York City.

The Rogues, compared to similar collections of supervillains in the DC Universeare an unusually social group, maintaining a code of The Rogues Proposal as The Rogues Proposal as high standards for acceptance. No Rogue may inherit another Rogue's identity a "legacy" villain, for example while the original still lives. Also, simply acquiring a former Rogue's costume, gear, or abilities is not sufficient to become a Rogue, even if the previous Rogue is already dead. The Rogues Proposal do not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary. Additionally, the Rogues refrain from drug usage. Although they tend to lack the wider name recognition of the villains who oppose Batman and Supermanthe enemies of the Flash form a distinctive rogues gallery through their unique blend of colorful costumes, diverse powers, and unusual abilities. They lack any one defining element or theme between them, and have no significant ambitions in their criminal enterprises beyond relatively petty robberies. The Rogues are referenced by Barry Allen to have previously been defeated by him and disbanded. A year prior, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, the Mirror Master Sam Scudder againand the Weather Wizard underwent a procedure at an unknown facility that would merge them with their weapons, giving them superpowers. The procedure went awry and exploded. Cold's sister Lisa, who was also at the facility, was caught in the explosion.

The concept of communicating with your hands, body, and facial expressions has always interested me. It was not until college I realized it was because of ASL’s similarities to another great interest of mine, theatre. Communication, whether it is using ASL or performing on stage requires expression, attention, focus, and listening skills beyond simply hearing the words. With these similarities, my goal for writing, directing, and producing this project and show was to not only bring the hearing and deaf communities together to enjoy an evening of theatre, but to introduce a group of performers to the world of sign language, and have them discover these similarities for themselves.
