Amanda Waller's been cast:

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/09/...-cynthia-addai-robinson-cast-as-amanda-waller

On the heels of the recent reveal that Amanda Waller is coming to Arrow, we now know the actress playing her: Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

TVGuide has the news of Addai-Robinson's casting, revealing the actress will play the DC Comics character, known for running the Suicide Squad. We'll be getting the Suicide Squad on Arrow this season as well, as recurring villain Deadshot (Michael Rowe) will ally himself with the Bronze Tiger, who will be introduced in Season 2, played by Spawn's Michael Jai White.
Cynthia Addai-Robinson in Spartacus.

Addai-Robinson is best known for her role as Naevia on Spartacus, which ended its run earlier this year. Her casting confirms that Arrow will be basing Waller on the recent New 52 version of the character from the comics - until a couple of years ago, Waller had been portrayed as an older, heavyset woman. The Arrow producers must be Spartacus fans, as Addai-Robinson will join her fellow Spartacus alum Manu Bennett on the series, who plays Slade Wilson.

On Arrow, Waller will also connect to the show bringing in the organization A.R.G.U.S., as The Flash's upcoming introduction will bring superpowers to the series. We'll meet Amanda Waller in episode six of Arrow: Season 2.

It's Starling City, of course we got the beautiful Amanda Waller:

omg noooo. not naevia.

i wonder if they will have slade wilson come into contact with her

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

omg noooo. not naevia.

i wonder if they will have slade wilson come into contact with her

 

[Discotheque]

they should just go full fan-service and have him grow out his hair and grow a beard. like best-crixus

 

[DominoKid]

i dont mind hot Waller.

but they could've at least went for like 40+ Waller though.

i guess Ollie's gonna knock this chick down too?

 

[Funky Papa]

They couldn't get the good Naevia, could they?

Fuck.

 

[Joni]

omg noooo. not naevia.

i wonder if they will have slade wilson come into contact with her

Slade should kill her. Not unexpected that she gets another CW role after her appearance on The Vampire Diaries.

They couldn't get the good Naevia, could they?

Fuck.

Good Naevia ditched Spartacus so there is nothing good about her.

[Funky Papa]

She's not bad looking by any stretch, but there's something about her that unnerves me. Just look at her face here

She looks like she's trying to squeeze a dry one while standing upright.

Who is the good Naevia?

 

[King Allant]

Who is the good Naevia?

best Naevia

 

[Clevinger]

Who is the good Naevia?

Lesley Ann Brandt

She was hotter, but more importantly was a much better actress. Though maybe since Inferior Naevia doesn't have to scream like an idiot all the time and speak in a goofy accent with weird dialogue in Arrow, she may not be bad here.

 

[King Allant]

okay but really they should of gotten CCP Pounder as Amanda Waller

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Would have been such a better choice. That woman commands respect.

god she really does
it would been great to see her in another show as a regular

and lol how did I misspell her name.

Katie Cassidy talks about a stressful scene from Arrow in this interview. #Arrow premieres Wednesday, Oct. 9! http://bit.ly/1a7wflo

 

[inm8num2]

You've been itching to use that gif, haven't you?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

They just need to keep raiding Spartacus for actors so we can have an unofficial Season 4.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

You've been itching to use that gif, haven't you?

Oh, you have no idea. I caught up with The Bridge thread today and immediately bookmarked it.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Everyone saying "good" naevia can get fucked. I see you, I remember all y'all from the Spartacus thread and all y'all can drive off a cliff.

 

[Replicant]

What did Cassidy do to her face? It looks rather different.

 

[Clevinger]

What did Cassidy do to her face? It looks rather different.

Might just be the hair. Almost feels like they're trying to make her look more Alex Kingston-y.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What did Cassidy do to her face? It looks rather different.

She's sucking the life out of the show so she can retain her youth.

seriously. naevia always sucked ass. she only got "good" in the finale episode.

just need liam mcyntire and gannicus now. Oh and nab Saxa too

All right, it's settled. From now on Arrow can only cast guest stars from the Spartacus cast.

John Hannah for Ra's Al Ghul, please.

This is what Waller looks like in the comics these days:

because the New 52 is all about missing the point.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I didn't expect them to go fat but I totally expected an older actress to get it. More Spartacus cast getting roles though, the better. Give me Saxa, Gannicus and Ashur now.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Emily Bett needs more glamour shots.

Agreed.

CCH Pounder would have been the best choice. She's done genre work (Warehouse 13) and well... she fucking commands respect.

 

[SargerusBR]

I miss the Spartacus OT

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I miss the Spartacus OT

We're taking over Disaffected-GAF who miss their OTs.\

Join us, brother. Embrace the Arrow.

 

[neorej]

Co signed. She looked amazing in that glamourparty episode.

 

[Hobbun]

What did Cassidy do to her face? It looks rather different.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, looks like she gained weight.

And it would have been awesome if they got CCH Pounder. So depressing, makes me think again about one of my favorite shows leaving.

 

[sturmdogg]

Anyone else think Emily Bett would look better as brunette than blonde?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Anyone else think Emily Bett would look better as brunette than blonde?

Now there's an idea

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Oh my heck. Don't do this to me brah. And if she had a gint of a Canadian accent. Oh wowzas.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

French-Canadian mothafucka.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Emily Bett is French Canadian? I knew she was Canadian was hoping she was a Nova Scotian princess though. Would still love to play Twister and give her a good case of rug burn though.

[Funky Papa]

The best part about Rafa's posts is that I read them as made by a deranged Rob Liefeld, avatar face and all.

Oh no, I meant it'd be better if she had a French-Canadian accent. Gives me the tinglies.

LOL.

 

[Clevinger]

Top three contenders for The Flash role casting, according to LatinoReview - apparently they have a bad track record right now?

1. Some Australian I've never heard of named James Mackay

2. Matt Barr - I don't really know what kind of character the Flash/Allen is, but this dude was really good in Hatfields and McCoys as a lighthearted, lovable and goofy type character.

3. They don't know the third actor yet - they'll update when they find out
