Charlie confirmed to ComicBook that he was approached with the opportunity to play Green Arrow, a character who was brought to life by Stephen Amell in the TV show Arrow. It is unclear if he was offered a movie role or where he would have fit into the franchise.
“Honestly, I don’t remember who,” he recalled about the offer. “It was some people in suits, brought the idea to me and thought it would be terribly exciting for me to play Green Arrow and I did not share their enthusiasm.”
Why not?
“I don’t know who Green Arrow is so I don’t want to offend anyone,” he said, adding, “I looked at one picture and I was like, ‘I’m not sure green’s my color and I’m pretty sure spandex isn’t my material.’ Beyond that, I was like, one image, ‘Thanks, not interested.’”
If you are hoping to see Charlie bring his Sons of Anarchy character to life again, he weighed in on the possibility.
