    Default Stephen Amell Is The Green Arrow

    The CW have selected Stephen Amell to play Oliver Queen in their new pilot, Arrow. If all goes to plan this will be a new series, reinventing Green Arrow slightly, with young and (because it's US TV) sexy characters. Here's a picture of Amell: And that's more or less everything I know about him. We already ran a breakdown of the dramatis personae, and it would seem that the next big juicy role to fill will be that of Dinah Lance, a putative Black Canary. Dinah and Oliver could be star-making roles... or... yeah. Dean Cain. Tom Welling. Them Gotham Birds Wotsit ladies. Maybe not. Deadline say that David Nutter will be directing the pilot. His first sixteen pilots - which included Millennium, Smallville, Without a Trace and The Mentalist - all went to series, but he broke that streak last year with The Doctors. Which way will Arrow go?

    Outside of him maybe not wanting to do it, what was wrong with the guy from Smallville that y'know, already has 4 years of playing the guy?

    Is he too old maybe?

    That's what I'm saying. Just make it a spinoff.

    I just declared my hatred for all things Kristin Kreuk on another bit of the forum, but come on, the guy from Smallville looked like a young Green Arrow. Why not use him?

    Oh I have no idea about him, I just disliked Smallville and decided to go jokey. If his time I only saw the last episode of the show, which I thought was awful, but I didn't see enough of him to say if he was any good or not.
    I suppose I am just happier with that show gone.

    Smallville was the *worst*.

    I freaking loved it!
    Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
    Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.

    I'll give Stephen a chance. He was pretty good on the last season of Hung.
