David Ramsey On Diggle's Larger Role In ARROW Season 4

In season 1 of Arrow, there was Oliver (Stephen Amell), Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (Ramsey).  Those were the core members of Team Arrow. Then seasons two and three brought in the likes of Arsenal (Colton Haynes), two Black Canarys (Caity Lotz and Katie Cassidy), Speedy (Thea) and a few guest heroes. The 'Arrow Cave' suddenly became extremely crowded.   Felicity managed to rise to prominense however, Diggle was regulated to side stories and filler material.  Well, that's the case no longer as Diggle has a costume and a mission that places him in the spotlight in season 4.  While speaking on his excitement about the greater exposure for his character in the upcoming season, David Ramsey acknowledges that he was a bit frustrated with his reduced role in seasons 2 and 3.  "I'm very pleased [with the bigger role]. A lot of fans have been saying, "Oh, we want to see more Diggle." Obviously, as an actor, I love getting stuff you can sink your teeth into. At the end of the day, I want to get into the game like any other player. I don't want to sit on the bench. I don't know if that's fully the correct analogy -- I don't want to say Diggle was on the bench. His stories weren't as prominent as other characters. Obviously, every character's story facilitates our hero. Outside of Oliver, I think Diggle's story wasn't as pushed as other stories.
