Flash Gordon is a man of action. A man of honour. A man... who still lives with his mum. Tall, blond, ruggedly athletic (three time marathon winner, no less), his smalltown life is about to be turned upside down when Dale Arden, the love of his life, breezes back into town.

Oh, it gets worse. When he stumbles across the terrifying alien world of Mongo, he'll pine for the days when doe-eyed Dale was his biggest problem! For example - is his dad really dead? Who is this sinister Ming chap? Is Dale really going to get married to some other guy?

Flash is played by Eric Johnson, best known for his role as Whitney Fordman in Smallville, and for playing the young Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall. He is a husband and brand new father, and even wrote, directed and produced his own short film, Fishbowl, in 2005. Oh, and he edited it. And did the music. Busy boy!
