FRINGE's Seth Gabel To Play "Vertigo" In ARROW
Fringe actor Seth Gabel has been cast as a villain modeled after DC Comics' Count Vertigo in The CW's Arrow, with the character making his debut on the series in early 2013. Read on for more details on who is described as Oliver Queen's "deadliest adversary to date".
Not too long ago, we heard that a super villain based on DC Comics' Count Vertigo would be making an appearance on The CW's television series Arrow. This take on the DC villain will be very different from the comic book version; in fact, his name won't even be Vertigo. While being grounded into reality (similar to the other characters on the show) like Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, a deadly new drug called Vertigo "becomes all the rage" in Starling City in the character's first episode, which is scheduled to air in early 2013. Now, we know who's playing the villain. According to TV Line, Fringe actor Seth Gabel will be playing the "scary and nightmarish" antagonist, who is described by a source as "Oliver’s deadliest adversary to date." He previously worked with Arrow executive producer Greg Berlanti on Dirty Sexy Money. You can check out Arrow on Wednesdays at 8 PM EST on The CW.
