Actor Stephen Amell, who is best known
for his portrayal of Oliver Queen / Green Arrow on the CW's Arrow,
this week congratulated Colton Haynes on his coming out.
Earlier this month, Haynes, who is best
known for his roles as Jackson Whittemore in MTV's Teen Wolf
and Roy Harper/Arsenal in The CW's Arrow, gave
his first interview in which he discussed his sexual orientation.

“I'm
so happy for Colton,” Amell told E!
News.
“I've
seen him struggle with anxiety and that's why he, well certainly one
of the reasons why, he left Teen Wolf
and he left Arrow.
When he came back to Arrow
this year simply for an episode, it was such a different version of
Colton. He and I bonded more. I'm very very happy for him.”
Amell added that he
would like to see Haynes return to the show.
“All he has to do
is basically show up and we'll write him in. He's a good guy and
he's a good actor,” Amell said. “Such a goodhearted gentle
loving guy. I'm happy that he's happy.”
