Grant Gustin is mostly known for his role as Barry Allen on The CW’s The Flash, but he’ll be playing a slightly different kind of character in Operation Blue Eyes. In this project, which will be directed by Criminal Minds’ Joe Mantegna; Gustin will play Frank Sinatra Jr.’s kidnapper, Barry Keenan. Set in 1963, the movie will center around the wannabe “stock tycoon” [Keenan] as he comes up with a scheme to kidnap Junior and hold him for $240,000 ransom.
In real life, Keenan was sentenced to life for his actions, but he only served four and a half years before being released. Considering we all know Gustin as the good-natured Barry Allen, it will be interesting to see Gustin play such a despicable character. It’s also interesting that Mantegna will direct this indie film; it’s something to keep an eye out for!
