Fan Casting Alan Scott in Greg Berlanti's Green Lantern

A weathered government operative who has spent decades preparing Earth for alien contact, Alan Scott is a man of secrets and quiet authority. He once wielded a power ring himself, long before Hal was born, and now serves as the President's special counsel on extraterrestrial affairs. Scott offers Hal cryptic wisdom and a glimpse into a larger universe, hinting at a legacy of heroes that stretches back generations—and a burden that Hal must now carry forward.
