Bleeding Cool: What was your fondest memory of 'The Flash', and what will you miss most about the series playing David Singh?

Like, this happened earlier on in (season two of) the series, but there was an episode where we were fighting the Weather Wizard [Mark Mardon], and he came to CCPD, and he grabbed lightning out of the sky and blasting everybody in the cop shop. Joe West, played by Jesse L. Martin was in the line of fire and I, as David Singh, dove in front and pushed Joe West out of the way and took the blast of lightning trying to save Joe's life.

That was one of the fondest memories, story-wise, of the friendship and the relationship between Joe West and David Singh, but also for me. Jesse L Martin and I are close, and that was a fun day – and I got to do a little bit of stunts. I got like ratcheted on cable across the set and smashed into some filing cabinets. It was just a fun day, a cool storyline, and a great moment with a great friend on set. I'm gonna miss those days.

The Hunting Party, which also stars Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia, airs Mondays on NBC and is available to stream the next day on Peacock. You can also stream The Flash on Netflix.
