Rick Gonzalez Cast as Wild Dog in "Arrow"
Rick Gonzalez (Mr. Robot, Illegal Tender, Reaper) is joining the arrowverse as the DC Comics vigilante known as Wild Dog. The EW report confirms Wild Dog as the "reckless and cocksure" vigilante that multiple outlets reported the Arrow producers were looking to cast.
In the comics Jack Wheeler was a college football athlete before he dropped out due to injury. He joined the Marine Corps but would leave the service after a terrorist bomb killed the majority of his squad. Wheeler became the vigilante Wild Dog after his girlfriend is murdered by hitmen looking to send a message to her crime boss father.
It appears that Wild Dog will be an ally to Team Arrow as the Green Arrow will "take him under his wing." Gonzalez is set to appear in multiple episodes including the season five premiere.
