Anyway, this role should be flawless for Stephen Amell, who is no stranger to anything to do with wrestling and had already shown what he can do in the ring in 2015 and 2018.
Actor and occasional pro wrestler Stephen Amell is set to star in a wrestling-themed drama.
The official description: "Set in a close-knit Georgia community, Heels follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father's legacy". Amell will star as the company's owner and "villain" (aka the "heel"), a working class father and husband trying to turn the small company into a major player. Spade is determined to make the DWA into an empire no matter what it takes.
With Amell attached to the project it has received a series greenlight and an eight-episode order. With the mind of an artist in the body of a warrior and a Steve Jobs-like need for perfection and for control.
