Earlier this week, Kevin Smith revealed that his lifelong friend Jason Mewes has a brief appearance in the episode of "The Flash" Smith just finished directing. Now, Smith has shared a photo from the set featuring himself, Mewes and the ever-sinister Zoom (Teddy sears).

Mewes, who has been a part of nearly every major Hollywood project Smith has directed, most notably and often as Jay to Smith's Silent Bob, was not initially part of the script, but "The Flash" writers worked him into the story. Smith followed up Mewes' official appearance by sneaking his friend into a later scene as a masked villain, wearing the costume seen in the photo below.
"I've seen that dude cry twice," Smith said during his latest Hollywood Babble-On podcast. "Once holding his newborn child, and once when he was told he was gonna have a bit part on 'The Flash.'"
Mewes friendship with Smith goes back decades; the pair first appeared as Jay and Silent Bob in 1994's "Clerks." The characters continued to appear in Smith's films, like "Mallrats," "Chasing Amy," "Dogma" and even the "Clerks" animated series. The pair got their own feature film, "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," in 2001.
Smith's episode of "The Flash," the 21st of the show's second season, will air at the end of April on the CW.
