Former Heroes star Robert Knepper is a busy man. Fortunately for DC fans, the Hunger Games: Mocking Jay actor found time to star in tonight's all new episode of Arrow. Knepper will playing the villain Clock King.
What time is it? Time for an all new episode of the hit CW series, Arrow. In tonight’s all new episode, The Emerald Archer and his pals face off against the classic DC villain the Clock King, played by Robert Knepper.
Knepper, known for his role as Samuel Sullivan in the 4th and formally final season of NBC’s Heroes, is making his return to villainy in tonight’s episode, “Time of Death.”
Knepper recently spoke with MTV about having to make the time to play the Arrow villain:
"I got back on a Thursday from hiking in Yosemite. I had just finished a gig on Hawaii 5-0, and then I get back the next day, and, 'You're getting on a plane, and we're filming all of your stuff on Saturday. Everything. The entire episode. Please get up here quickly, because we've got to figure out costume.'"
However, despite the time constraints, Knepper felt in sync with the cast and crew:
"I never felt with Arrow that I was having one of those nightmares where I couldn't keep up. We just all worked as a team, with me all day inside this thing set up with all these computer screens, mission control kind of place. I don't know, I've been doing this for 30 years so I kind of get off on this sort of thing. How focused can we get here, and it went off without a hitch. It was great."
In the comics, Clock King is a member of the Suicide Squad. They will feature an episode based around the team of villains later in the season. Knepper added that he is open to return adding:
"The word was when I shot it that they were very happy with me, so it's a mutual feeling.I hope that they will continue making him a worthy opponent."
Arrow comes on tonight at 8:00 pm on the CW.
