The CW’s Green Arrow pilot Arrow, which has already announced Stephen Amell and Katie Cassidy among its cast, has added New York stage actor Colin Donnell to its quiver.
Deadline.com reports that Donnell, who recurred on ABC’s Pan Am earlier this year, has landed the role of Tommy Merlyn, best friend of Oliver Queen, in The CW’s Arrow. In the comic books, Merlyn is an enemy of Green Arrow’s. In Smallville, he was represented as a different character, the “Dark Archer.”
At least at this point, Tommy Merlyn is an easy-going “trustafarian” who will surely be part of a love triangle with Amell’s Oliver and Cassidy’s Laurel.
