Kevin Smith has had the opportunity to work within the CW DC universe a few times now, and every time he's managed to share the wealth and bring along a friend.

In Smith's first episode last season, Runaway Dinosaur, he was able to feature fan favorite Jason Mewes in multiple spots. When he got the nod to direct another episode of The Flash this season, many expected Mewes to show up once more, but that is surpassingly not the case. In Smith's latest Facebook Live, he reveals just who will be making an appearance on his "Killer Frost" episode of The Flash.

"Sadly Jason didn't come back this episode, but I brought another friend with me, man. Like so far each time they let me bring somebody. That one I didn't even try to bring Jay. That was Andrews idea, Andrew Kreisberg. He was like "do you think your friend would want to do this?", and I was like do you think he'd want to do this? I'm surprised he hasn't already come into this office and, well normally I'd tell a really dirty story here. In any event, so Andrew's idea was to bring in Jason, I can't even take credit for that. My second episode of Flash, there was an open role for a police detective, and so a friend of mine Ralph Garmin, who I do Hollywood Babble-On with, he was the guy I was like oh my god Ralph would love this, he watches all these shows, but he was working on Kevin and Bean, he does the morning show in Los Angeles on KROQ, and one of the two, Kevin or Bean, were off so Ralph had to stay and he couldn't come play up in Vancouver. So I turned to another friend of mine, a dude who you know as my co-host on Geeking Out, Greg Grunberg, Gruney himself man, who you've seen in The Force Awakens Snap Wexley, who you know from Heroes Matt Parkman, who you know from Lost the guy who crashed the plane, he was the pilot. He used to be on Alias, Felicity and stuff like that. So Gruney is in this episode."

Smith will also be at the helm of an upcoming episode of Supergirl, and this time he was able to fit in some family.

"And then on the Supergirl episode, I just directed I got to bring my kid. Harley's in it as well. The script called for it, I didn't just say "put her in!", the script called for like a 17-year-old kid. I was like "oh my god! I literally have a 17-year-old kid of my own that I own" so she got to be in the episode, which is huge because she loves the show. You've never seen so much crying like I cried when I was done with Supergirl because I'm an emotional guy and I love the show, but my kid like she was dragged off that set with her fingernails in the dirt man."

The "Killer Frost" episode of The Flash airs on The CW tonight.
