During the convention’s stop in Minneapolis from Friday, May 6, 2016 – Sunday, May 8, 2016, I talked to David Ramsey, who plays John Diggle on The CW’s hit series Arrow. As I waited to interview him, I watched as a tiny hooded Green Arrow slowly approached Ramsey’s booth, trying to process the fact that Diggle, the Arrow’s trusty sidekick, was sitting there. Ramsey’s eyes lit up as the mini superhero cautiously approached. He eagerly came around the table to give his little partner a double high five, which, unfortunately, accidentally knocked the diminutive Green Arrow on his rear. That threw off his hood revealing he was, in fact, a she. Despite the awkward introduction, the little girl couldn’t believe she got to meet Diggle.
While I can only imagine what it was like for the young fan, what really got to me was how long the smile remained on Ramsey’s face after meeting the little girl. Talking to Ramsey, I realized how much appreciation he has for the fans of all sizes who have helped make Arrow successful.
