Hartley Sawyer (born January 25, 1985) is an American former actor known as Brian Sommers on Glory Daze (2010–11), Kyle Abbott on The Young and the Restless (2013–14), and Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man on The Flash (2017–20).
In July 2017, Sawyer was cast in The CW's superhero drama The Flash as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man, a fast-talking private investigator who is able to stretch his body to any shape or form. The character first appears in the fourth episode of the fourth season, titled "Elongated Journey Into Night", which first aired that October. In June of the following year, he was promoted to series regular.
In May 2020, several allegedly racist and misogynist Twitter posts made by Sawyer between 2009 and 2014 resurfaced after he made comments about the Black Lives Matter movement.
He issued an apology, saying, "My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable. I am ashamed I was capable of these really horrible attempts to get attention at that time. I regret them deeply." Sawyer deleted his Twitter account soon thereafter. A week later, he was fired from his role in The Flash, and has not worked in the entertainment industry since.
