ReplyDeleteHELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I can't spell his name or even pronounce it, but I like him. And he seems like a good fit for the show. I hope he sticks around.
ReplyDeleteHe was def. one of fav's on BSG, so I'm superexcited.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news,I loved him in BSG.Glad to see more of him.
ReplyDeleteHe was one of my favorite actors (and characters) on one of my absolute favorite shows ever. Arrow could only get better if they made him a regular! Super excited about this!
ReplyDeleteI Must be in the minority. I always thought he was an terrible actor.
ReplyDeleteI think the more interesting piece of news is that Jeffrey Nordling is going to be on the show. That's some good casting.
ReplyDeleteStunt casting, bad move IMHO.
