The former Prison Break star has joined the cast of The Flash, it was announced today at the Television Critics Assocation Press Tour in Los Angeles.

He will come on board the new CW hit as the villainous Captain Cold, a character whose superpowers include his ability to have a beam off cold freeze anything it touches. Instantly.

The freeze-gun touting baddie is the leader of the Rouges, a group of his adversaries in town, and Miller is booked for Episode 4.

"We’ll be seeing his origin and the origin of the Rogues," teased executive producer Greg Berlanti.

Wentworth has kept a fairly low profile since Prison Break went off the air in 2009.

The Flash Quotes

Ramsey: You know, I don't understand you Barry. You march towards death without fear, just like mum. Where is it you get your strength?
Barry: Probably the same place she did, people I love.

Where I came from, I was a speedster like you. They called me The Flash.
