New ARROW Images Spotlight Echo Kellum As 'Mr. Terrific'
Though the character was glimpsed in the first Arrow season 4 trailer, TV Insider has now debuted the first official stills of comedian Echo Kellum as Curtis Holt, AKA the man who will become Mr. Terrific. We also have quotes from the show's EP, Marc Guggenheim...
From the sounds of things, Holt is going to fill the brainiac (no, not the DC villain) void left by the presumed-dead Ray Palmer when he makes his debut on season 4 of Arrow. "Curtis is someone we started talking about [in the writers room] at the end of last year, out of a desire to fill in some gaps in terms of the cast and storytelling," executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells TV Insider. "[He] fills the same role Brandon [Routh] filled last year, [but] no one will compare the two. It is really a different performance than Brandon's."
MY NAME IS THE GREEN ARROW — Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) blissful getaway is cut short when Thea (Willa Holland) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) pay them a visit and tell Oliver they need his help back in Star City. The city has been attacked by “Ghosts,” assassins led by a dangerous man named Damien Darhk (guest star Neil McDonough). However, when Oliver returns, Diggle (David Ramsey) makes it very clear that he doesn’t want Oliver on the team. Thor Freudenthal directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Beth Schwartz and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle.
