    I agree Matt Nable was miscast, but really? Ben Kingsley is way too good for this show. Critically acclaimed actors never do CW shows.

      Well Ben Kingsley did appear in a Uwe Boll movie. That's about the same level as a CW show.
      May the Force be with you.

        I was keeping my fingers crossed for Oded Fehr.
        And when it was revealed that Ra's was going to be the big bad for S3, there was a rumor he was going to play him.

          Ode would have been great.

            Other than being another white Ra's, in a show where a perfect choice for Ra's already appeared (Navid Negabahn) Matt wasn't miscast. The writing for Ra's was just inconsistent nonsense.
            Ben seems too high profile for the show. He does a lot of crap, direct to dvd crap, but it's also probably getting him more money than Arrow has to offer. Unless he was a huge Ra's fan and took the paycut.
            I see another joker on the news telling me to play the fool.

                I highly doubt they have the budget for Kinglsey. Not sure why he would even be interested in a CW show, he would have probably only appeared in 3 eps if they were ever able to get him.

                  That's why I have often made threads about what if Arrow was in a bigger network. So many missed oppertunities of being in the CW. I may not agree with many things joseriou says, but one thing I do agree with him\she is that Arrow could have worked out better on CBS. Bigger networks attracts better actors. Such as Kingsley or Oda Fehr.

                    Network tv still doesn't pay compared to feature films. You aren't going to see Robert Down Jr. on Agents of Shield. Samuel Jackson did a five minute guest spot, but no way he does multiple episodes.

                      it would be too similar/confusing with him being the Mandarin
