10 TV Actors Destined To Shine In 2020
4. Katie Cassidy
Katie Cassidy's no stranger to turning in show-stealing performances. The original leading lady of Arrow has been quietly impressing audiences for over a decade on not just the DC Comics series but a host of other shows and films, including Supernatural and Grace. However, all being well, she could finally be about to get the starring role she was promised on Arrow.
Though that starring role as the original Laurel Lance/Black Canary was taken from her due to a series of bad creative decisions, Cassidy is expected to headline Arrow spin-off Green Arrow and The Canaries as the Earth-2 version of Laurel a.k.a. Black Siren-turned-Black Canary - a character that she has been perfecting over the past few years on both Arrow and The Flash.
Having finally been given the co-leading role (and extended screen-time) she deserved long ago in the potential spin-off's backdoor pilot episode, she was nothing short of sensational as the hot-headed hero, giving audiences the live-action Black Canary they had been waiting a long time to see. And now, after all this time, she's finally going to get the chance to do so full-time in Green Arrow and The Canaries.
One of the best actresses on TV, prepare for this Black Canary to impress in the leading role she deserves when The CW (hopefully) picks the spin-off up.
