Justin Hartley Interview
Recently Soap Opera Digest had an interview with Justin Hartley aka Oliver Queen about his upcoming projects and of course his role in Smallville: The charming Green Arrow.This is part of his interview:
Digest: How is SMALLVILLE going?
Hartley: It's going well. I'm going to try not to run this show into the ground. It's a finely tuned machine because they've been doing it for so long. I go to Canada and just follow the leader.
Digest: How many episodes have you filmed?
Hartley: I'm going back tomorrow to finish my third one. They get the character heavily involved in the story right away.
Digest: Did you do a lot of research for your role as Green Arrow?
Hartley: You know me, I don't really work that hard [laughs]. Of course I did! I read a bunch of comics and books. You can watch other actors that you admire that played superheroes. I was watching Michael Keaton and Christian Bale and their takes on Batman. It's interesting because that helps me with this character more than it did for Aquaman because Green Arrow is more like a Batman character. Also, I studied Clive Owen in Inside Man. He doesn't play a superhero, but this guy is a bad guy, and the whole movie, he's acting with sunglasses on, a hood and a mask up to his nose, so all you see is his forehead. The Green Arrow costume is a little bit concealing as far as the eyes go. A lot of times when you're acting, you use your eyes. When you're covered up, you can't do that. There are some times when you actually see my face on the show, so that's good [laughs]. It's not even me. It's a lie. I just feel bad about the Aquaman thing, so I just tell everybody I'm on SMALLVILLE.
