Gearing up for an even more diabolical season two of the hit original series The Boys, Amazon Prime Video is all set to introduce an intriguing character – Lamplighter, into the Supes' universe! A former superstar and one of the original members of The Seven, Lamplighter will be played by X-Men fame Canadian television and film actor - Shawn Ashmore.
Speaking on roping in Shawn, Showrunner and Executive Producer Eric Kripke said, "We were thrilled that Shawn — who is, let's be honest, an OG superhero — wanted to play the crucial part of Lamplighter. He brings so much depth, menace, and world-weary humanity to this former member of the Seven. And Shawn is a really good guy. We're grateful to have him join our bloody little family."
