Fan Casting Martin Jordan in Greg Berlanti's Green Lantern

Hal's late father, Martin Jordan was a legendary test pilot who died in a crash while saving a crowd from his failing jet. In flashbacks, he is warm, wise, and fiercely devoted to his son, imparting the belief that "if you're lucky, something chooses you." His death is the defining trauma of Hal's life—the fear he must overcome to become a hero, and the voice that still guides him when he feels lost.
