Arrows big bad has been hiding under Olivers nose this whole season.
I really cant remember if they mentioned the name Prometheus or not in that first conversation.
I remember hearing the name throughout, but I didnt associate that with my character.

I dont know why I didnt.
That makes a lot of sense now.I feel like you guys wouldve told me this, right?
So that all started permeating very early on before I got out here to Vancouver.
Honestly, Ive gotten clarity on who he was throughout the journey, as well.
Theres a fire inside of him that has been fun to explore.
What motivates anybody to do anything?
Why do you grab a bite to eat?
But this is a much bigger thing.
Why did this guy end up in the mayors office next tothismayor?
How long has this plan been in motion?
Thats whats been fun to play.
Why didnt Chase attempt to kill him a long time ago?
Thats a cool little secret nugget that I get to keep inside.
So what motivates him?
I think youre going to see that play out a little bit more.
Chase is going to give a lot of clarity to that soon.
Thats going to be a lot of fun to watch.
What is Chases ultimate goal with Oliver?
Just to watch his life crumble to pieces?Oh, absolutely.
I think its just to burn the world around him.
All the things hes trying to bring to light in Oliver, you see those qualities in him.
and then we get to watch Oliver respond.
Chase has kidnapped Susan (Carly Pope).
Is she just a bargaining chip so Oliver doesnt kill him?
I think you nailed it right on the head.
He knows that she matters to Oliver.
Chase knows that Susan matters, and thats the move.
You take the people who matter most, right?
Im not just here, Im everywhere else.
That has been fun to play with with Stephen.
Im trying to take things that Ive seen and be like, Hey man, lets do this.
This week, you watch that permeate with these guys and see that Chase is coming for Oliver.
Does Chase think hell survive all this?
What drives this man?
Thats what Chase is doing.
So, is it a death wish?
Thats what drives him: Hes going to win.
What kind of connection does Chase have with Talia (Lexa Doig)?
It seems she also trained him.
To what end?I do know that they have history, because she trained him.
She knows who he is.
But, to that regard, I know theres history, and she trained Chase.
She gave him certain skill sets that Oliver possesses.
Youre going to have a good time watching how that plays out, the skill set at least.
Those are all things that he got from Talia.
Were you in the costume at the beginning of the season or just recently?I was.
Oh yes, I was.
Ive been in it from the very beginning.
There have been parts of course that I give a lot of love to my [stunt double].
He kills it for me.
Thats an important part of me to this character.
I wanted to do all of him.
I wanted to create this man so that I could introduce him to the world.
Im blessed to do it, because its been very cool.
Chase wants to watch the world around Oliver crumble, he just wants to watch it crumble.
