I was in fittings for the first costume even before I knew I was even going to be 'Deathlok.'

I changed my name at 14 because no one outside of my family could pronounce my first name correctly.

Even when I'm playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being.

Once I found out that I was playing 'Deathlok,' I unearthed my old comic book collection. I was going home for Christmas, and I have a collection of thousands of comics. I was surprised to see that 90% of them were Marvel. So, I wanted to go through my collection and start there.

Everything I've ever learned about acting - and I went to theater school - was about playing what the character wants and throwing yourself fully into going after what the character wants.

I love creating characters that people may or may have not ever seen before. But I enjoy the opportunity to try to make something new, and that's when I really come alive as an actor, so I really enjoyed working on 'Arrow.'
