Fan Casting Carl Ferris in Greg Berlanti's Green Lantern

The gruff founder of Ferris Aircraft, Carl is a man haunted by the death of his best friend, Martin Jordan. He carries guilt over the crash and resentment toward Hal, whom he sees as reckless and unworthy of his father's legacy. A traditionalist fighting to keep his company afloat, Carl represents the old guard—a man who gave everything to aviation and is now watching his dreams fade, forcing him to finally let go and trust the future.
