MR. ROBOT Actor Rick Gonzalez Will Play DC Comics Vigilante Wild Dog In ARROW Season 5
Team Arrow is gone, but Oliver Queen is going to have a new sidekick of sorts in season five of The CW series when Wild Dog comes to town. However, is he friend or foe? Hit the jump for details.
Team Arrow disbanded in the season four finale, but the Green Arrow will have a new ally this Fall in the form of DC Comics vigilante Jason Seaborn/Wild Dog. A relatively obscure character, he first appeared in his own solo mini-series in 1987. That depicted Wild Dog as a former star athlete and Marine who turned to vigilantism when his girlfriend was murdered because of her secret mob ties.
Entertainment Weekly reveals that Rick Gonzalez (Mr. Robot, Reaper) will be playing this live-action take on the character, and he's described as, "a new vigilante in Star City whose reckless and cocksure nature prompts Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) to take him under his wing." That's all we know for now, but the site mentions that he'll appear in multiple episodes, starting with the season premiere.
