29-year-old star of the hit CW superhero show The Flash, Candice Patton, may be a relatively new name to many television viewers, but it’s not because she doesn’t have any experience. Quite the contrary, in fact.
Patton actually has been acting professionally since freaking way back in 2004. Let’s do some math here. Hold on…carry the three… That would mean she started acting professionally around the age 16 or so.
She started out on some soap operas, first on The Young and the Restless and then The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives. She even appeared in three episodes of Entourage in 2009 as Dan Coakley’s Assistant.
Mostly though, her roles were smaller parts almost never lasting more than three episodes on a show until she was cast as Tori on BET’s The Game in 2013. That one lasted 8 episodes.
Then she finally hit it big when The CW started up The Flash in 2014 and landed the role of Barry Allen’s pseudo-sister/love interest Iris West (it’s complicated) and has been killing it ever since.
Another place she has been killing it lately is in a brand new photo shoot for the latest issue of Naked (NKD) Magazine. Now I don’t know what Naked Magazine is, but they just made at least one new fan out of me. Bet you’ll be a fan too, of both the magazine as well as Candice, after you see the pics.
And since many of you may not watch The Flash or have been familiar with Candice Patton before today here are a few more highlights from her must-follow Instagram account.
