British actor
Vinnie Jones (Snatch, X-Men: The Last Stand) is joining the mayhem over in Starling City as one of
Arrow's famous DC Comic foes.
As
Variety reports, Jones will be playing Danny “Brick” Brickwell - a ruthless gang leader who's called Brick because of all the times he's been shot but not killed (in the comics he has impenetrable Brick-like skin). The name Brickwell has been teased before on an earlier season of Arrow as one of the many names on Oliver's list.
Jones has signed on for a multi-episode arc, appearing in episodes 10, 11 and 12 of this season.
Brick has appeared in animated form before - on Young Justice and in a DC Nation short - but this will be his live-action debut.
Vinnie Jones would like a word.
