, but before he steps into the shoes of former federal prosecutor Ted Black on the Suits spinoff series, he’s looking back on his time wearing a different sort of suit — his time portraying Oliver Queen on The CW’s, Amell opened up about his time making the popular DC inspired series and admits that he had a “short fuse” on set, acknowledging that he was learning as he went and that he had also made himself a little too accessible to fans which, in turn, didn’t have the most positive results.
. “The hours were long. By the time we got to the fifth episode of the first season, I’d worked more on that show than I’d ever worked on anything in my life.” He added, I was never a monster. I was never disrespectful — but I had a short fuse. And you learn as you go.”’s run, Amell was a regular fixture on social media, engaging with fans and viewers as well as attended numerous fan conventions as well. For Amell, some of his time on social media led to trying to address what he called “hypercritical people” and their comments about the series — something he says he’s learned to handle differently now.“Social media has become a zero-sum game — there is no winning,” he added. “I learned the hard way.”and that he has learned to handle reactions to the series differently now, the actor is still pretty protective of the series that kicked off The CW’s Arrowverse and, in many ways, opened the door to the live action DC Universe as we currently know it.

I am just going to come right out and say this. There was just such…between the movies anda little bit, our show was kind of treated like sh-t. I get it, we’re on The CW, I get it, it’s TV. But I also get the fact that when people think about the most recent iteration of DC, they don’t think about the Snyder Cut — they think about the Arrowverse. We got crapped on for years, and years, and years, and this just seemed excessive. I’m not actually made, but I just remember hearing that and just being like, ‘F-ck those guys,’ like seriously. I’m up here. I’m working just as hard as anyone else. Do you know how hard it is to play a superhero with no superpowers for 23 episodes a year? It’s really, really, really hard and I’m not looking for a prize, but, like, maybe don’t sh-it on our show,”s arrives Sunday, February 23rd on NBC.
