Tijdens de TCA winter pers tour had de website Collider een interview met David Ramsey over zijn rol als Diggle in de erg coole TV serie Arrow. Hij verteld over de toekomst van de show, zijn collega's en natuurlijk zijn karakter die steeds meer een grotere rol begint te krijgen. Let wel op er komen wat SPOILERS!! voor bij dus mocht je nog niet bekend zijn met het recente seizoen, dan is het beter om het niet te lezen.


When you're seeing all of these people around you in bad-ass costumes, are you wondering where Diggle's suit and mask is?

RAMSEY:
That's the question. It's all over the internet. Everyone is asking, "Does Diggle get a mask?" I get it. We're in a big warehouse, the crime is going on, there's fire, you see Canary run in and she's clad in black leather, Arrow has got his bow and green leather, Arsenal has got his red leather and mask, and Diggle comes in, in a bomber jacket. Yeah, I get it! There's a great line that Oliver had where he said, "The mask isn't just to protect you. It's to protect the people you love." If there's anyone who has people he loves, with a potential wife and child at home, it's Diggle. If anyone has something to protect, it's him. So, the writers aren't blind to this, nor is the audience, or the critics, or myself. We see it. I think it will be addressed. But, I also think that you have to be careful with Diggle because his appeal, I think, and I think everyone agrees with this, is his normalcy. He's just a guy who came up through the ranks. He's a normal guy who went to the military, served his country, did three tours, got married and had a child. He's you and me. Everyone else is extraordinary, even Felicity. She's in the top 5% of the world, in terms of her intelligence. Everyone is extraordinary, except for Diggle. What makes him extraordinary is his normalcy. So, you've gotta be careful. But yet, he does absolutely need to protect his identity in the field, no doubt about it. We just haven't figured out how to do that yet.
