According to The Hollywood Reporter, BSG and Dollhouse alum Tahmoh Penikett has joined the cast of the CW's upcoming take on Green Arrow, called, um, Arrow. The site report that Penikett will play
Tom Salvati, the right-hand man to mob boss Frank Bertinelli - who we will be played by Jeffrey Nordling as we previously reported. It is still unclear if Penikett will have a recurring role or if it will just be a handful of guest appearances.

Interestingly, THR also drop a few hints as to the identity of the character Torchwood actor John Barrowman will play, who up until now had remained a complete mystery. According to them "Barrowman will recur and play a mysterious and wealthy guy who is an acquaintance of the Queen family and prominent figure in Starling City.". That doesn't sound very much like either Deadshot or Deathstroke, who many fans thought Barrowman might portray. Any ideas?

Merlyn has already been casted.

Maxwell Lord doesnt really make sense.

Battlestar is one of the best shows of the past 10 years.

Wait people thought Barrowman would be playing Deadshot? I thought Michael Rowe was already confirmed like a month or two ago to be playing Deadshot ;P

I want Deathstroke in this show. Oh and Arrow- DO NOT F*** with Deadshot's look!!! That is all =P

@WhyDoWeFall- I could def see him being Bruce

The way you say "will play yet another villain" makes it sound like he played a villain in BSG. I guess you meant that there's yet another villain in Arrow and he's playing him. But it's phrased like the actor has played a lot of villains and now he's playing another one.
