Should have gotten Ben Kingsley to be Ra's Al Ghul.

I like Matt Nable, but I felt he was miscast. I think CW should have gone for Ben Kingsley. A very versitable actor that doesn't shy away of doing acting on tv shows. And he would have utterly put Guggenheim and Wendy to their place, and demanded creative control over season 3. Something I would support.

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. -

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.
