Interview with “Arrow” actress Katie Cassidy at Dragon Con 2015
Oct 07, 2015   Arrow

During Dragon Con, I got to interview Katie Cassidy, one of the stars of the CW hit “Arrow.” Katie plays Laurel Lance, an attorney and former girlfriend of Oliver Queen. She is now part of Team Arrow as the Black Canary. “Arrow” premieres tonight at 8 pm on Atlanta’s CW.

How’s Dragon Con going for you?
Katie Cassidy: Well, it just started maybe 30 seconds ago (it’s 10 am). We flew in late last night, and I had training this morning.

How’s training going?
Katie: It’s good, it’s really good. I brought my trainer with me because I am the type of person that if he’s not here, I’ll just go “Oh, I am just too tired this morning.” But it’s really good and hard, but I love it. It’s awesome.

Have you had to ramp up the training because your character is now part of Team Arrow?
Katie: Oh, yeah, absolutely. During the second season, Mark Guggenheim and I had a discussion about the physicality of the role and the difference between Laurel in season two from the start of the season till the end. You saw her go from being an alcoholic and a drug habit, being a disaster all day, every day, which is challenging as an actor. It was really nice to have that story arc where I came out the other side and go from rock bottom to sober. Then at the start of season three we talked about how much more physical Laurel would be. So I upped by training,, especially during the hiatus. When I first started working out it was working out five days a week, three hours a day. It was just with weights or cardio; it was a mixture of things; an hour of weights, an hour of kickboxing, then an hour of yoga. I wanted to make her character as legitimate as I could make her.
