It's an attention grabber right! He has done a little acting to be fair in a henchman role. So it does fit what I'm going with here

ROY HARPER CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT​

In some exciting news confirmed today another new character has been unveiled to be making their live film debut in Chapter three of the DC Extended Universe. With the third chapter acting as an introduction of sorts for many new characters in the franchise. Set to focus in some ways on the future of heroism with a lot younger heroes introduced along with a more supernatural arching story with a Justice League Dark crossover promised. It is safe to say that the DCEU is as focused on it's present as well as it's future. Which brings us to an exciting new character announcement for the Green Arrow sequel entitled Sounds of Violence. With this being the second chapter of Oliver Queen (Alexander Ludwig) and his heroic actions in Star City as the Green Arrow. The story is set to focus on him and Laurel Lance (Blake Lively) working together for the first time as they look to combat the threat of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Brad Pitt). However one interesting side addition to this story is the confirmation that Roy Harper will be appearing in the Sounds of Violence.

Described in some ways as a hardened, young man who has spent a lot of his life living off the streets in the Glades. Roy Harper does have a criminal past but only for minor things such as theft in order to survive. While he may have been jaded by the way life has treated him, Roy like others has found some faith thanks to the actions of the Green Arrow and his want to clean up all of Star City including those suffering in the Glades. This of course won't be the first time that Roy Harper has appeared in live action with Colton Haynes appearing as the character in the hit show Arrow. While writers were fans of Colton Haynes' performance, it was said that he wasn't approached about potentially resuming his role. Instead writers and directors opted to stick to their original intention of a full reboot and refresh of the characters. It was confirmed one early name considered for the role was Will Poulter before he instead signed on with the MCU.

A few names that were also considered and believed to have spoken about the role included Cameron Monaghan, Tyler Posey and Jacob Elordi. While none of these were able to audition or talk more about the role due to scheduling. A few names we do know to have had more serious discussions for the role include KJ Apa, Dylan Sprayberry and Leo Howard. While these actors had talks we know two actors confirmed to have auditioned included Richard Harmon and Alex Pettyfer. However we can confirm through the processes one name was said to be head and shoulders over everyone else and this was confirmed in a later screen test with Alexander Ludwig. Which is why we can confirm today that Cobra Kai's Jacob Bertrand will be taking on the role. It's said writers reached out to Bertrand for the role as his character work in Cobra Kai showed him capable of playing a hardened, tortured character looking to do better. Bertand of course isn't the only Cobra Kai star debuting in chapter 3 with his costar Gianni Decenzo recently being announced to be portraying Garth/Tempest.
