The one good thing that I can say about falls TV Lineup, is there are a ton of HOT men coming to the small screen.

TV Line sat down and talked with the star of ARROW, Stephen Amell. You can read an excerpt of the interview below, but for the entire thing, CLICK HERE

TVLINE | In your own words, describe what Oliver was like before the boat trip, and what he’s like when he comes back. Juxtapose those two men.

He was oblivious and totally insulated – he’s never had to fight for anything — and then he goes to the island and gets beat down to nothing, to his bare form.

TVLINE | Beat down by the elements…? The isolation…?

By the elements, by the things that are waiting for him on the island, which we’ll explore…. I mean, it’s safe to say he was not alone there, if only based on the tattoos. He certainly couldn’t tattoo the dragon onto his own back.

TVLINE | Will we explore that island existence via flashbacks?

Absolutely. We go back to the island in the second episode and we see his first hours there. It’s shot a bit differently than the pilot; it’s more guerilla-style, because we just don’t have as much time [to block, light and shoot], but it’s awesome. So he goes from oblivious and insulated to painfully aware of everything that goes on in the world, and how it affects people close to him.
