Colton Haynes is another original cast member of Teen Wolf, portraying Beacon High's resident mean-yet-popular jock Jackson Whittemore. In season two, a werewolf bite goes wrong causing Jackson to turn into a murderous reptile known as a Kanima. Long story short, after Jackson 'kills' his Kanima self, he is able to resume life yet now as a regular werewolf. His character departed the show during the third season after Jackson moved to London with his father.

Following this, Colton landed the role of Roy Harper/Arsenal in The CW's DC show Arrow. Originally a thief from The Glades, Roy became a vigilante after crossing paths with the Green Arrow himself, Oliver Queen, whilst also becoming the on-again off-again love interest of Thea Queen.

Whilst playing Roy, Colton's role ranged from 'guest starring' to 'main,' and so with varying frequency, he did feature in all eight of Arrow's seasons. He's also had small roles in TV shows Scream Queens, The Grinder, and American Horror Story: Cult.

Outside of acting, after years of hiding his true identity due to industry pressures, Colton came out as gay and now openly advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights - something that was eventually reflected in Teen Wolf.

Colton made a return to the show in the final season which confirmed his character was also gay and in a relationship with fellow werewolf Ethan Steiner. More recently, you may have seen Colton in Lil Nas X's music video for the song Industry Baby.
