Is Arrow's villainous Dark Archer really any different than Arrow? Stephen Amell isn't so sure.

"I think everybody on the show is misunderstood," Amell told us. "We don't group together a bunch of people and say good guys, bad guys. Everybody is somewhere in the middle. Who's to say the Dark Archer's reason for doing what he's doing isn't as virtuous as the reason Oliver is doing what he's doing, of which we still don't know a great deal?"

Arrow Scoop: Will Oliver be able to take down The Count?

In the video below, Amell talks more about his titular character, shares some scoop about Colton Haynes' upcoming debut as Roy Harper and answers the show's most burning question: Does Oliver Queen really apply his own green makeup?

Watch:

Arrow airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
