The CW has released a brand new video interview with Detective Eddie Thawne from The Flash. Thawne is played by Rick Cosnett in the series.

Cosnett explained why the other characters on the show refer to him as Detective Pretty Boy. "It's just because he's quite sort of irritating in the way that he is so perfect," said Cosnett. "And, you know, everyone actually calls me Pretty Ricky on set as well. You know, there's worse things to be called."

After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won't be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become...The Flash.

The Flash premieres on Tuesday, October 7 at 8 PM ET on The CW.
