Sharknado‘s Ian Ziering playing DC’s Blue Devil!

Former “Beverly Hills 90210” star Ian Ziering, who in recent times has had somewhat of a career resurgence from his heroic lead turn in SyFy’s “Sharknado” series, will play DC character Blue Devil on “Swamp Thing”.

The DC Universe series, being executive produced by James Wan (“Aquaman”), stars Crystal Reed as Abby Arcane, a young woman who investigates what seems to be a deadly swamp-born virus in a small town in Louisiana but soon discovers that the swamp holds mystical and terrifying secrets.

Ziering plays the recurring role of Danial Cassidy aka Blue Devil, a stuntman hero who fights evil.

The Warners series described the character as “Stuntman turned movie star, Daniel Cassidy became semi-famous after playing the demonic Blue Devil. But now, eight years later, Cassidy finds himself living out his days in frustration, pining for his former fame while on a collision course with destiny.”

“Swamp Thing” is now in production.
