Arrow: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Stephen Amell

8. He€™ll Soon Be Playing Another Vigilante

As mentioned, he€™ll be appearing in next year€™s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel. While he€™s making a leap to the big screen, it shouldn't be too far out of his comfort zone as the character he€™s playing is another comic-book vigilante. This time around he€™ll be Casey Jones, admittedly a slightly different take on what a vigilante is. He€™ll once again be covering his face, only this time with a hockey mask, while a hockey stick is his weapon of choice, giving him the look of a seriously crazy sports fan whose team just took a beating from their closest rivals, so he€™s going to get really drunk and then go looking for revenge. He reportedly got the role not because of his vigilante experience, but because of his chemistry with Megan Fox when he auditioned.
