Stephen Amell is fast becoming a recognizable name.

In addition to his starring role on Arrow as the titular hero Olver Queen, Amell has landed the role of fan favorite Casey Jones in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel. This is a big step for his career as many fans will be tuning in to see how he fares on the big screen, in such a prominent role. WWE fans will also have a reason to check out the movie as it stars current Mr Money in the Bank Sheamus as Rocksteady.

Back to Amell, his popularity has increased with Arrow's success thanks to the current overall dominance of the superhero genre. In addition to three seasons with a fourth on the way, Arrow has spawned two spin off shows - The Flash and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow. Superheroes are owning the movies right now and they're steadily taking over television. WWE is right to strike while the iron is hot and right now Amell is on fire.
