Quantico actor Russell Tovey will play The Ray on the four-show DC mega crossover event later this year.

EW reports that Tovey will voice The Ray for the CW Seed animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray in addition to playing the character in live-action.

Raymond "Ray" Terrill is a reporter who finds himself with light-based powers after exposure to a "genetic light bomb." The crossover show and animated series will build off Grant Morrison's take on the character in his Multiversity series, which reinvented The Ray's origin and re-imagined him a gay superhero.

EW also debuted a poster for the crossover along with its title, Crisis on Earth X. The image drawn by comic artist Phil Jimenez is a nod to Crisis on Infinite Earths and features the heroes battling evil versions of themselves.

Tovey will appear as The Ray the week of November 27 for the Arrowverse crossover. Freedom Fighters: The Ray is also planned to debut later this year too.
