Arrow going Darhk in Season 4.
TVLine reported Neal McDonough is joining the CW superhero drama in the pivotal (and series-regular) role of Damien Darhk.
The ominously named Darhk played an unseen role at the close of Arrow Season 3, as Ra’s Al Ghul regaled Oliver with a tale about his colleague-turned-adversary. Darhk even paid Starling City a visit, but got outta Dodge before causing any commotion (and before being seen by viewers).
Arrow producers are billing Damien as “a mysterious and sophisticated villain, and an adversary of the late Ra’s Al Ghul. Now the leader of his own clandestine group, this cunning foe will prove to be one of the Arrow’s greatest challenges.”
McDonough’s recent TV gigs include a starring role in TNT’s short-lived Mob City and arcs on FX’s Justified and USA Network’s Suits.
Arrow season 4 returns at 8 p.m. Oct. 7. In addition to Amell, the series cast includes Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, with John Barrowman and Paul Blackthorne. It is exec produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Wendy Mericle and Sarah Schechter and produced by Bonanza Productions in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television. The series is based on the characters from DC Comics.
