Arrow: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Katie Cassidy
She's a lot more than just a Canary.
Arrows Laurel Lance has undergone something of an identity crisis, resulting in quite the character transformation. She was struggling as the ex of Oliver Queen, her former boyfriend who came back from the dead, before the bombshell that her sister was also alive. Since then shes been through alcohol problems, the second death of her sister, and a major falling out with her father, and emerged on the other side as a crime-fighter in her own right: the Black Canary. After three seasons the audience knows Laurel pretty well, and has come to generally like her again after a period in season 2 where she was regarded as perhaps the worst character on the show. But what of the woman behind that Canary mask, the one playing Laurel? That would be Katie Cassidy, who has been starring in the show since the very beginning.

Next year shell be in the thriller Wolves At The Door, crossing the streams of Marvel and DC as she appears with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.Ds Elizabeth Henstridge, aka Jenna Simmons.
