INTERVIEW: David Ramsey talks Arrow season 5

We sat down with the Arrow cast this year at San Diego Comic Con to discuss last season and what’s to come this fall. It’s kind of crazy to realize that this is the third year that I’ve gotten the opportunity to meet the actors in the press room – it doesn’t get much better for an Arrow fan!

We talked with David Ramsey (Diggle) about Diggle’s costume, the scenes that really affected him, and other topics. I have to apologize that my video missed the first question.

Some highlights:

• Diggle’s getting a new helmet this season. He didn’t love that the old one, it covered his face and blocked his vision, which made choregraphing fight scenes difficult because he couldn’t see what he was fighting
• He found the season 4 episode where Black Canary died to be extremely emotional, both because of the character, and because they didn’t want Katie Cassidy to lose the show
• He also felt that the scene where Diggle kills his brother was a very powerful one
