It was recently announced that CW was creating a series based on the comic hero Green Arrow. The series, Arrow, will be a modern retelling of the series. It will be looking to have its own origin and distinguish itself from its comic counterpart. Several characters from the comic\u2019s history have been chosen to appear in the series and a casting sheet describes those characters.<\/p>\n

Oliver Queen: A 27-year-old reformed bad boy, who after having spent five years shipwrecked on a tiny, brutally dangerous island in the South China Sea returns to town a different man. Or to be more specific, a tortured, thoughtful master of the bow with a ferocious determination to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Dinah \u201cLaurel\u201d Lance: 28 years old, smart sexy, Laurel is a legal aid attorney determined to use her life as a one-woman war against the 1% following the death of her younger sister Sara. A sister, who as luck would have it, just so happened to have died aboard Oliver\u2019s yacht.<\/p>\n

Tommy Merlyn: 28 years old and devil-smooth, Tommy is a trustafarian like Oliver, a spectacularly rich young man whose life revolves around parties, clubs, liquor and lots of anonymous sex. Unlike Oliver, he can\u2019t seem to understand his former best friend\u2019s sudden change of lifestyle and direction.<\/p>\n

Moira Queen: 48 years old, a beautiful woman, Oliver\u2019s mother Moira is a very wealthy woman who is not used to being shaken. Having remarried during the five years that former husband Robert and Oliver were both presumed dead, Moira has had free rein over the Queen billions. Not surprisingly, she\u2019s deeply interested in learning whether or not Robert will also return unexpectedly, to ruin her present marriage and go over the books with a fine-tooth comb.<\/p>\n

John Diggle: 35 years old, African-American, Diggle is really, really big, a former military man who served with the Army Rangers in Afghanistan, and has been a bodyguard for hire for the last four years. Hired by Moira to be Oliver\u2019s chauffeur and protector, Diggle soon finds he is trapped in a battle of wits, as Oliver repeatedly eludes his protection. But in fact, Diggle\u2019s primary conflict is one of loyalty \u2014 he has to show that he\u2019s working for Oliver, not Moira, before Oliver will give him a smidgen of trust.<\/p>\n

Thea Queen: 17 years old (suggest 17-22 years), Oliver\u2019s Lolita-esque sister, Thea was a 12 year old girl when he went on his infamous yachting voyage \u2014 but now she\u2019s a celebutante who\u2019s testing the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Thea loved her big brother with all her heart, and is delighted to have him back in her life \u2014 but she\u2019s spreading her wings, and is unprepared for Oliver to become the Bad Cop in the family, restricting her access to boys and drugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
