The Staff chose me and I choose you.
The character of Stargirl holds a special place in Johns heart for several reasons.
During the special, Johns also revealed how he ended up casting Bassinger and Wilson in their respective parts.

I looked at so many casting tapes and people that came in.
She actually is a superhero to me.
Shes an amazing actor to work with.
She embodies like a heroic nature, [is] super nice, and incredibly talented.
But it was her humor and heart that came through in that tape.
For Pat Dugan, played by Luke Wilson, I wrote the part for him.
I said, Hey, I wrote this for you, and he loved it.
The rest of the dramas cast includes:Henry Thomas as Golden Age Dr. Mid-Nite;Lou Ferrigno Jr. Berlanti Productions president Sarah Schechter and showrunner Melissa Carter (Queen Sugar) also serve as executive producers.
