He was great at Harrison wells He was intimidating as reverse flash He was perfect as Harry He was hilarious as HR Can't wait to see what character he'll be in season 4

[@oneandonly3924]

Alex Edwards Most likely earth 2 Harry

[@wagneracevedo3796]

jason jones miss HR

[@oneandonly3924]

Wagner Acevedo I think we all do

[@derpypigeon]

Alex Edwards he is Harry in season 4

[@Thor-uq3bi]

Well you got your wish he’s sherloq Wells

[@Maxroloxian]

He's a good actor, and IMO the best reverse flash, and Harrison wells

[@MinecraftHALO360]

ikr

[@georgemcgovern21]

Timots Chenmoti there have been no other Harrison wells' -_-

[@Jomijo]

Timots Chenmoti he's the GOAT

[@andyrivas6307]

George McGovern reverse flash there has though

Santiago Ferrari He means there's no other actors..

[@Joe-pe8fe]

Can't imagine anyone else playing Harrison wells/Reverse flash except him

[@ImNotSideways]

Joe S well the real Eobard thawe actor is reverse flash

[@thejordyoshi]

ZBP Matt Letscher is good as Reverse Flash but Cavanagh was legendary, he's up there with Ledger's Joker and Tennant's Kilgrave for me when it comes to super villains.

[@dupe540]

Joe S yea

[@joelasa7253]

Joe S how about the real eobard thawne

[@Julian-zn7ew]

eobard is ass

[@megamatt1915]

Lol yeah, I've noticed that he pauses in between his sentences in the Flash.

[@minuteman3317]

takes 5 seconds to say "the f-l-assssh". Nutty as hell

[@felbiter822]

THIS^

[@harrywells8261]

LastMinute LastSecond but it makes him hotter😉

[@ajjtkb72]

And it sounds so flipping awesome.

[@RuthKoheifish]

I think the captivating thing about pausing between sentences is that it shows how incredibly confident the speaker must be that no one will interrupt him or stop paying attention - that confidence makes it all the more enthralling and, as Just Brey stated, all the more attractive!

[@swiftstrike3356]

Give. Tom. Cavanaugh. An. Oscar

[@ryanvaughn5959]

And an Emmy because he was on the Flash.

[@surround83]

Cavanagh*

[@danny0472]

Cavanagh*

[@youtiful2]

i can't believe he doesn't have one

[@foxymanaic5934]

Yesssssssss he needs one, I'm very surprised he hasn't got one yet.

[@TrustINTristan]

we're in an alternate timeline where Harrison Wells is an actor.

[@Kronosfobi]

Dammit i was gonna say it :D

[@lieutenantkettch]

Earth-Prime Harrison Wells

[@UltimateJM_22]

I thought I was the only one that knew that the Arrowverse is real and we’re just in a very distant Earth

[@keemadoo247]

Lmaaao

[@nilsperry8124]

Haha Clever

[@JB21Q]

80% of comments: how brilliant he is as an actor or person. 20% of comments are about him joking about not being handsome.

[@GamingWithKylie]

Q.a A.q : Correction, 80% : How brilliant he is 19%: Him insulting his handsomeness 1%: Dumb percentage comments Mine doesn't count 😂

[@saicharangarrepalli9590]

Well, your comment doesn't fall in both, so what should we call that?

[@vipor_bruce5414]

The 1% is looking at some girls tits at the very end of this video

[@RealHajimeHinata]

GamingWithKylie I know, lol I hate percentage comments like these. Like what’s the point?

[@vastalapasta9739]

This is the wells from earth 21

[@KapybaraKSP]

Nicholas Vasta 19

[@piano7420]

And reverse flash and earth 2

[@Ayush1206]

Lolololololl

[@alexanderl9721]

"You don't have to be handsome." Says one of the most handsome men ever.

[@personalacct7461]

Everything about this is beautiful.

[@KartikeyaSharmakt]

The best villain ever in any TV series. Nobody could do "Reverse Flash" better than him. His acting overshadows even barry's acting.

[@zaclo8173]

I actually love this man

[@RANCE22808]

Before clicking on the video, the title was too long, it literally said, "Tom Cavanagh explains how to nail a supervillian..." lol.

[@jarrynbby4004]

Love him in everything great actor

[@oliver-bv5rj]

it's really awesome that we've got to see him in such diverse characters with all of the different wells in the show. he's a very skilled actor

[@emmeliataravira6084]

Tom cavanagh is literally H.R in real life but he seems serious and when he starts speaking you understand how funny he is

[@rionpereira5407]

He acts so good.....honestly......every harrison wells he has played....even thawne......he's done it so well we all are convinced that they are genuinely different people....not just the character but the actors too

[@josephcraigan7036]

The way he voices the villain in the flash series he softly whispers his voice and thinks it’s spot on

[@davy8673]

i absolutely love how sometimes when he talks in the flash, he doesn't pause between his sentences

[@karyndunn-kiprotich6502]

he is soooo gorgeous!! I love Dr. wells

[@adi14293]

This guy is awesome, awesome actor. The way he played fake Dr Wells and HR with different personalities...

[@ronniemakinen]

I love Tom. He is amazing actor as all those Wells.

[@katherineyoung6168]

[@obsidoodle]

[@lilmontana96]

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

Man every TV shows i watch they always got to bring out the die hard references.

[@shawntan945]

Just whisper loudly

[@shawntan945]

[@xcoldgaming6061]

[@tukaichoudhury6165]

*He's such a diverse Actor with infinite range & offscreen he's the best goddamn person to be around*

[@danielperdigones2185]

That guy is terrifying doing Eobard.

[@adambarger4093]

The cavanagh whisper yell is something else

[@victoria-qk5mq]

He’s played so many roles👍🏼👍🏼

[@sheylove2183]

He's the perfect guy..no one can replace him. And he's handsome too.

[@ZaminZahoor]

I never had seen The Flash till last week and Boy did he make me a fan of himself!

[@Tom_North]

His villain voice - intense whispering

[@TheAeroman]

If you wanna know that, you're gonna have to catch me.

[@niharsheth1509]

He is an amazing actor

[@jolieespinoza369]

Hats off to alan rickman...great actor..hats off tom

[@princessthyemis]

He is AMAZING as Harrison Wells! The character wouldn't be nearly as awesome played by someone else!

[@RealAadilFarooqui]

He was just all the Wells in One Guy All the Time and he was portraying different versions from Time to Time

[@johny1220]

Glad he is in the flash it is such an awesome show!!! :D

[@Decoda.]

This guy is an amazing actor.

[@sofiafelici2961]

Lol I love him! He’s so fun and quirky! So goofy! I really like how his personality is really different from how he plays Dr. Wells (eobard thawne) and harry and HR.

[@Kmn2]

If there's one person I could choose to teach me a intimidating whisper voice it would definitely be tom lol

[@memememe3878]

Always wanted to try voice acting a villain with my deep voice

[@Vinstinctify1]

stereotypical dark, chilled, but menacing tone for a supervillain will never go away

[@tomashorst9544]

Let me guess: Intense whispering?

[@thelegoman3365]

My guy plays 13 people in the flash u might as well give him his own show

[@DravicPL]

Fucking hell, I wasn't ready for 1:19-1:21 or so. That was amazing.

[@eobardgaming5621]

He was Harrison wells/eobard thawne Harry wells HR wells Sherloque wells REVERSE FLASH

[@KevinNguyen-vw2bm]

I never realized that his ears are shaped weird and he looks like Abraham Lincoln

[@chidi6941]

[@Queenof09Nicole]

[@MangoPineapplez]

[@ursamajor5234]

[@DelcoRanz93]

He must've slammed his hand in a door

[@anonymousaccount4483]

+Starfleet2360 His hand should have phased through the door

[@nknown8672]

The Leaker 😂😂😂

[@Hug0Pro]

Urso Minar who Carés?

[@ursamajor5234]

[@quadgon]

HOW much fun must he have playing HR?! Seems so close to his own carefree attitude. What a cool guy and a great actor :D

[@michaelandrews117]

Love this man ever since he appeared in Scrubs. Fully deserves the acclaim for his role in The Flash

[@ryuugaminemikado8186]

I thought the title would say How to nail a supervillain literally😂😂😂

[@whitehot9198]

R.I.P Alan Rickman...ALWAYS!

[@WasiqJaved]

weirdest ears I've ever seen

[@livejava1990]

I like him a lot on the flash. In each season only he who have different character and he nailed it.

[@ARealPersonNotABot]

I remember him from the show Ed. I never watched it, so I didn't know much about him. I freaking love him as Harrison. I even kinda like H.R

[@vkpprt]

Nice to see H.R. in a interview :D

[@shreyasrivastava8839]

Tom: yOu DoNt hAvE tO bE hAnDsOmE Me: But sir, you already are. Is he downgrading himself cause he needs to learn the fact that he is attractive af.

[@jcm2789]

One of the best actor in my opinion, Star labs wouldnt be complete without Harisson Wells

[@jackie4smurf177]

He looks like dr wells in the flash

[@derpypigeon]

PA_Cybermatrix he is the actor who plays Dr Wells in the Flash

[@isa2758]

Lmao

[@hai-anhtran5856]

Woah! I totally didn’t know that!!! It’s not like it’s one of his most popular roles...

[@dhdk5321]

[@wrathofthewitchqueen]

@every reply r/woooooosh

[@anonymousguy7871]

[@quarantineme5713]

I just now realised one of his nails is painted-

[@haykalachmadsufianhutama8983]

i want him to say " YOU HAVE FAIL THIS CITY"

[@nayosparks]

When he pulled out the "phone" and said the line again I died of laughter

[@kauzinhavok]

I can't stop looking at his ear

[@KyzeradiGaming]

Tom Cavanagh is the best actor... He has literally played like 20 different iterations of the exact same guy. Evil, Good, Smart, Stupid, Wizard, Robot.

[@shaunblake7411]

I think the writers of Shazam saw this interview hence why we get that joke where Shazam cannot hear Doctor Silva giving his villain speech

[@rahulmathew8713]

He is damn gud talented skilled actor. Totally star of the show, cant think of another Harrison Wells and Eobard Thorn than him, he nailed it.

[@sophia-os1mb]

Happy birthday Tom

[@YoungPhysicistsClub1729]

we all are on an earth where the members of team flash are actors

[@davidadams2395]

Tom was great as Dan Dorian. I don't think I've ever seen his turn as Reverse Flash.

[@warrenwoodhouse]

My family and my friends say that whenever I laugh sometimes I sound like a villain when I do it! Sinister laugh. Even though I’m not sinister I have done an evil laugh when playing The Sims games. I’ll release a video of me doing an evil villain laugh.

[@mthacks4297]

he is really a great actor,specially in flash season as wells

[@marlenif.s1316]

Oh my God I love Tom Cavanagh and I love Alan Rickman I love him talking about him in the beginning

[@1008zafar]

His Voice And Accent Dudeeeee!

[@camryn6422]

Watching the flash, all I can remember is tom as the ranger in yogi bear lol
