Exclusive Interview: ARROW star Stephen Amell suits up

ARROW is the new CW top rated series and stars Stephen Amell in the starring role of Oliver Queen/Arrow. If you watched SMALLVILLE you probably were a fan of Justin Hartley’s role as the Green Arrow/Oliver Queen and at first you may find it a bit strange to see Amell in the same role, but that won’t last long. In the D.C. comic book Green Arrow had bright blonde hair with a blond goatee, and wore a small mask to hide his identity. In the television show Arrow wears only a green hood, large enough to hide his face in […]Read On »

This new episode “Dark Cousin” really feels a bit like the beginning of the end and I’m reasonably sure that the last five episodes might not leave […]Read On »

William Forsythe isn’t as common a name as, say, John Smith, but you wouldn’t want to confuse the actor with the Scottish director Bill Forsyth (LOCAL HERO). And it’s happened, says actor Forsythe. “We used to stay at the same hotel in New York, as well as the choreographer. There’s a choreographer named William, and there were times we all three were there at once and we’d get our calls mixed up.” As an actor, the Brooklyn-born Forsythe is seldom confused with others. His tall build and piercing blue gaze have made him effective in many roles on both sides […]Read On »
