John Diggle as Green Arrow is a force to be reckoned with. David Ramsey has taken the front and is doing a good job. Meanwhile, the character continues to deal with his secret injury and threats from the villains.
In a recent interview with TV Line, Arrow actor David Ramsey, who plays the role of Diggle, talked about Diggle’s story arc and the complications from “juicing.” As a result of his injury, fans can expect to see things getting badly complicated for Diggle. The big secret is expected to impact the Team Arrow and his family. It will reportedly be a ripple effect of sorts that will be felt throughout the first part of the season.
“Big-time complications. You’re seeing Diggle in a different way, right? Diggle has always been kind of the bastion of integrity — I mean, this man wanted to go to prison over the guilt he felt over the Canary’s death and his brother’s death. He’s been the model of morality,” Ramsey said when asked about Diggle’s secret.
“And now all that stuff comes into question. I think it’s a good arc for Diggle and a good arc for the team, because what’s he’s doing will affect the whole team and his family. This will have a ripple effect that will be felt throughout the first part of the season,” he continues.
Further, he spilled a few details about the arrival of the big bad Ricardo Diaz, also known as Richard Dragon. Actor Kirk Acevedo plays the role of the villain. It is said that enmity with Ricardo Diaz will have the most effect on Diggle.
“Ricardo Diaz ends up being someone very important to Diggle specifically. His thread plays out on a relationship with Diggle particularly,” Ramsey said.
Ricardo is described as an ex-con who becomes powerful enough to take control of Star City’s criminal world. However, Ramsey assures that he might be a “street-level thug,” but he is bigger than Tobias Church from Season 5. He is powerful and dangerous with longer tentacles.
Before Diggle takes on Ricardo, he must tackle Black Siren. According to an earlier report, Diggle and Black Siren will come face to face this week. In addition, fans will find out who is Cayden James.
