I'm not acting in it..I'm Stephen's stand-in...his caddy/human light bounce so they block and light the scene for the cameras so he can come right to set and start working. I've been doing this a long time...it's a fun job. [Reply]

ahhhh, didn't realize they did stuff like that. [Reply]
I really liked it. There were a few things that seemed derivative, but so what - it's a street-level superhero origin story, and it was done really well. Also, I love the way they're interpreting the character, and integrated aspects of the story like Speedy, and hints of those early-70's Green Lantern/Green Arrow social-consciousness story lines. The fight and chase scenes were also really gripping and well-shot. I will keep watching this.
Edit: Oh, another thing: Amell did a good job in conveying that his darker self was his actual self, and the 'playboy' was a front, and not the other way around. Whenever he was pretending to still be the give-me-a-drink party-boy, he delivered his lines just a little flatter, so it seemed Queen, not Amell, was a bad actor. It gave an edge to the character, which I was pleasantly surprised to see. [Reply]

One of the best shows on TV is on CW, and it's definitely not 16-25. That show being Supernatural. [Reply]
