        Grant Gustin is a 31 year old singer and actor. Grant Gustin was born in Norfolk, Virginia. The show he is most known for is The Flash which first aired in October 7th 2014. His is also known for his role in Glee as Sebastian Smythe, which aired in November 8th, 2011. 

        Grant's first known role was in a film named "Rain". It was filmed by a student named Neil Grochmal. He got this role during his studies at Regent University. After he left Regent University he went on the revival tour of West Side Story from September 10th 2010 through September 23rd 2011. His role was Baby John. He got his big TV break when he took on the character of Sebastian Smythe on Glee. He showcased his singing and acting abilities on National Television. Grant Gustin began filming A Mother's Nightmare, an original film on Lifetime Network,  in late May 2012. He landed a major role on an independent film named Affluenza on July 11th 2012. 


    Grant Gustin most known is Barry Allen on The Flash. He announced his role on the second season of Arrow on September 13th 2013. The series premiered on October 7th, 2014. It had 4.8 million viewers. It airs on the CW on Tuesday at 7pm. I personally love this show. The show recently aired it's 8th season and it is a 5 part crossover. It nearly has 150 episodes.  "At 11, Barry Allen's life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Orphaned Barry later becomes Detective Joe West. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession - a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention - causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery." This is a general summary of the first episode and how the show begins. 



        In 2016, Grant Gustin met Andrea Thoma at a dinner party. Personally to me, their relationship felt real low key since I barely heard anything about them and was shocked when I found out how long they were together. They announced their engagement on April 29, 2017 and got married December 15th 2018. They recently had their first daughter earlier this year.
