Mere weeks after Fringe ended its run on Fox, Seth Gabel returns to the small screen with a role as a Joker-type villain on the CW's breakout Arrow.
... During Wednesday's episode of the freshman drama starring Stephen Amell as Starling City's savior, Gabel plays The Count, a charismatic drug dealer peddling Vertigo. It's the same drug that has landed Ollie's kid sister Thea (Willa Holland) in hot water with the law after she busted for using.
"The Count is a trixter and he comes from the street. Most of the people on Oliver's list are white-collar villains … but The Count is unique in that he relishes the opportunity to to prove his own dominance over any force in Starling City and as a force of the street," Gabel tells The Hollywood Reporter. "He feels like he can take on anything, including the Arrow..."
Arrow airs Wednesday at 8/7C on The CW.
Seth Gabel can also be seen in Fringe airing on The Science Channel. CLICK HERE FOR THE FEBRUARY 1, 2013 MINITHON SCHEDULE.
