(CLEARS THROAT) GOOD EARLY EVENING.

HAPPY MONDAY.

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING

TO ALL OF MY AMERICAN FRIENDS.

I'M..........

AN HONORARY AMERICAN NOW

BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS

A THIRD AMERICAN AND A THIRD TEXAN.

SO I WAS IN TEXAS

FOR THANKSGIVING WATCHING HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

AND EATING TOO MUCH FOOD. IT WAS AMAZING.

THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON THIS WEEK

THAT IT LITERALLY DEMANDED A VIDEO Q & A.

FIRST...

I'M ON TWO EPISODES OF TELEVISION THIS WEEK!

THAT'S ALWAYS EXCITING.

OUR HUGE...TWO NIGHT....

CROSSOVER EVENT

IS TAKING PLACE

TUESDAY AT EIGHT P.M.

AND WEDNESDAY AT EIGHT P.M.

WITH FLASH AND ARROW, RESPECTIVELY.

WE HAD A BLAST SHOOTING THESE

AND WE'RE GONNA COVER SOME OF THAT IN THE Q & A.

UH...SOME TIME TOMORROW OR POSSIBLY THE NEXT DAY

BECAUSE THE SITE WAS ACTUALLY DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT TO DAY

BECAUSE...BECAUSE... YOU'RE ALL SO AWESOME

(DEEP BREATH) UH...

THE CAMPAIGN

FOR (CLEARS THROAT) CANCER

I'M GONNA SWEAR.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR FUCK CANCER,

THE FAMILY FRIENDLY VERSION...

THE TOTE BAGS...THE HOODIES... THE COLORS...

THE THIRD AND FINAL ITERATION

OF THIS CAMPAIGN. THIS REALLY, REALLY WILL BE IT.

WE'VE RAISED OVER 1.2. MILLION DOLLARS

IT'S JUST MIND BOGGLING TO ME.

AND...UH...SIDE NOTE: PAYPAL NOW EXIST.

IT'S A THING. APPARENTLY. DIDN'T USE TO. NOW IT DOES.

SO IF YOU NEEDED TO USE PAYPAL BEFORE

AND IT WAS THE ONLY WAY YOU WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAMPAIGN

YOU CAN DO SO NOW. WHICH IS GREAT.

NOW ONTO SOME QUESTIONS FROM SOME ACTUAL FACEBOOK FRIENDS.

WITH RESPECT TO BOTH THE CAMPAIGN...

...AND...

...THE FLASH/ARROW CROSSOVER EVENT.

THE INTERNET'S CALLING IT FLARROW. I'M NOT IT.

(CLEARS THROAT)

DUSTIN FATHRY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SEE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE"-

-SORRY. I'M GONNA MAKE THE FONT A LITTLE BIGGER.

"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SEE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WEARING YOUR FACE ON THEIR SHIRT?"

"DO YOU WISH IT WAS A DIFFERENT PICTURE OF YOU?"

"ON A SIDE NOTE: LOVE THE SHOW AND KEEP ON ROCKIN!"

UH, NO. I-I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL.

..I'VE...

...UH..

WHEN I WAS IN TORONTO MY MOM HAD ONE ON.

WHATEVER. MY MOM GETS TO WEAR A SHIRT WITH MY FACE ON IT.

AND I'VE SEEN A COUPLE PEOPLE WHEN I WAS DOWN IN SYRACUSE.

MET A COUPLE REALLY NICE PEOPLE WHO WERE WEARING A SHIRT.

IT DOESN'T FEEL WEIRD BECAUSE THE CAUSE IS GOOD.

LIKE, ON ONE OF THE CAMPAIGNS...

...IT WAS LIKE A GUY THAT WROTE GOAT UNDER HIS NAME

IT PROBABLY MEANT GREAT OF ALL TIME. OR GOAT. I'M NOT SURE.

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS FOR CHARITY.

THAT'S WEIRD.

BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN. UHM...

I DON'T BEGRUDGE ANYONE ANYTHING. (CHUCKLES)

SO NO. IT'S NOT WEIRD. UH.

IT'S EXCITING.

UM. MELSI COLLINS WANTS TO KNOW IF WE CAN ADD SUBTITLES TO THESE Q & A VIDEOS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT ON FACEBOOK.

IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO TEACH ME.

OR IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO DO IT, I'D BE HAPPY TO LINK TO IT. OKAY?

CONSTANCE GIBBS WANTS TO KNOW: "WHAT IN THE WORLD

"OLIVER AND DIGGLE DO FOR MONEY THESE DAYS?"

"IS DIG LIVING OF OF LYLA'S ARGUS INCOME?"

I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP. I MENTIONED IT

ON THE ARROW AFTER SHOW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

AS WE'VE SEEN

WITH.....UH RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

FINANCIALLY IN AMERICA

WHEN BILLIONAIRES GO BROKE

THAT MEANS THEY HAVE LIKE FOUR MILLION DOLLARS LEFT. SO....

...OLIVER CERTAINLY ISN'T A BILLIONAIRE ANYMORE.

BUT I WOULDN'T SAY HE IS LEAFING THRU SOFA CUSHIONS TO FIND SPARE CHANGE.

I FEEL LIKE HE HAS A LITTLE SOMETHING.

AND...

THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WE GET TO ADDRESS

IN THE LATTER PART OF THE YEAR.

NATALIE DURANT WANT TO KNOW IF ANY OF MY CO-STARS

HAVE BOUGHT ANY OF THE FUCK CANCER T-SHIRTS OR HOODIES.

I'M NOT SURE. I KNOW THAT SOME

PEOPLE ON THE CREW HAVE. AND THAT WAS REALLY NICE AND THOUGHTFUL.

UM, I KNOW THAT THEY'VE TWEETED THEIR SUPPORT.

AND QUITE HONESTLY THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

AMIRA ....AHMED WANTS TO KNOW: "ARE YOU CONSIDERING DOING"

"A Q & A WITH YOUR CO-STARS? THAT WOULD BE FUN TO WATCH."

I'M ALWAYS CONSIDERING IT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF FINDING THE TIME.

NATALIE DURANT-YOU GOT TWO QUESTIONS-"IS THERE ONE SPECIFIC SCENE IN THE CROSSOVER"

"EPISODE THAT YOU FOUND DIFFICULT TO FILM?"

NOT EMOTIONALLY DIFFICULT.

UM, THE BIG BATTLE SCENE THAT YOU SEE

IN THE FLASH SIDE OF THE CROSSOVER

WAS TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT

BECAUSE WANTED TO TO BE AWESOME

BUT....UH...BUT NO, NOT UM....NO.

THERE'S NOT ONE THAT STAND OUT.

ROSIE HUBERT WANTS TO KNOW: "HOW TO DO YOU PREPARE FOR THOSE EMOTIONAL SCENES?"

"YOUR EXPRESSION AND EYES SHOW SO MUCH PAIN AND SADNESS."

WELL, THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH BEING INVOLVED IN THE SHOW

AND BEING EMOTIONALLY VESTED IN THE SHOW.

IF YOU'RE...BECAUSE I'M NOT NECESSARILY A METHOD GUY

IF YOU'RE INVOLVED IN THE SHOW. EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN THE SHOW.

AND CARE ABOUT IT BEING A GOOD PRODUCT

THEN I FEEL LIKE

RAISING THE STAKES IN THOSE MOMENTS BECOMES A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

(CHORTLES) GOD

"HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE A GOOD DAY ON SET AND A BAD DAY?"

THAT'S ROBERTO GONZALES.

I WOULD DESCRIBE A GOOD ONE AS WHEN WE GOT A LOT OF WORK DONE.

AND I WOULD DESCRIBE A BAD ONE AS ONE THAT’S JUST

A REALLY TECHNICAL START AND STOP DAY WHERE YOU DON'T GET TO DO A TON OF ACTING.

I-I DON'T FIND THOSE AS

EMOTIONALLY AND CREATIVELY SATISFYING

AS WHEN WE GOT TO SHOOT REALLY COOL SCENES.

THAT HAVE A LOT OF RANGE TO THEM

BITTER AL MULA SAYS, "CAPTAIN,"

-THANK YOU-

"WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL FOR RUNNING INTO YOU IN PUBLIC?"

"DO YOU LIKE TO BE APPROACHED FOR PICTURES AND STUFF?"

"OR WOULD RATHER US BACK OFF AND MIND OUR BUSINESS IF YOUR WITH FAMILY."

"DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SHIRT ON IF WE WANT TO COME SAY HI?"

"WHATEVER IT IS, IT WOULD BE COOL TO KNOW SO THAT WE CAN RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY."

THAT'S A VERY THOUGHTFUL QUESTION. UMMMM.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IN GENERAL IF I'VE TWEETED THAT I'M SOMEWHERE

OR PUT A FACEBOOK UP...

LIKE I WAS AT A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME

SATURDAY IN TEXAS AT WRIGHT STADIUM AND I TWEETED THAT I WAS THERE.

AND SOME PEOPLE CAME UP. I MET SOME NICE MEMBER OF THE BAND.

MET A COUPLE OF GIRLS WHO WERE WAITING WHEN I WENT TO GET A REFRESHMENT.

UM, MET SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY DROVE THE STADIUM. THAT WAS FUN.

IF A TWEET THAT I'M SOMEWHERE

UM...I FEEL LIKE IT'S PRETTY MUCH FAIR GAME. UMMM

IF I'M WITH MY FAMILY... MY DAUGHTER SPECIFICALLY....

EH, I DON'T KNOW YOU GOTTA USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT.

BUT I WOULD ASK IF THAT HAPPENS

AND I'M MAYBE NOT AS APPROACHABLE AS I WOULD BE OTHERWISE

THAT YOU WOULD RESPECT THAT.

I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE DO.

I THINK THE TONE AND TENOR OF THAT QUESTION IS A

GOOD INDICATION THAT THAT ASSUMPTION IS CORRECT.

IT'S A PLAY IT BY EAR TYPE OF SITUATION.

BUT IF I'M OUT IN PUBLIC PUBLIC

IT'S NOT LIKE I SHOULDN'T EXPECT TO BE A PUBLIC FIGURE.

CELEBS WHO DO THAT ARE ASSHOLES. (CLEARS THROAT)

TRACEY LADD: "IF YOU WERE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND CAME ACROSS SOMEONE"

WEARING ONE OF THE SHIRTS WOULD STOP THEM AND ASK TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEM?"

THAT DEPENDS.

I...I ALWAYS LIKE TO LIKE AT COMIC CON IN 2012

WHEN WE WERE ON THE BIG BAGS THAT THEY GIVE OUT

AND NO ONE KNEW WHO WE WERE, I LIKED WALKING UP TO PEOPLE AND SAYING,

"NICE BAG."

BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD KNOW AND PEOPLE WOULD THINK THAT I'M A WEIRDO.

UM..YEAH. IF I SAW YOU OUT ON THE STREET AND YOU WERE WEARING A SHIRT

AND I WASN'T IN...YOU KNOW... IN A RUSH SOMEWHERE

I'D LOVE TO SAY HI.

NANCY CALL WANTS TO KNOW,

"WHAT WAS THE HARD PART"

"OF SWITCHING TO A VERY HEAVY VISUAL EFFECTS SHOW"

"FROM THE STANDARD PROCESS OF ARROW?"

UMMMM

THERE WASN'T REALLY A HARDEST PART THERE WAS JUST-

THE GUY WHO DIRECTED THE FLASH SIDE OF THE CROSSOVER

-GLENN WINTER IS-WE'VE HAD HIM FOR SO LONG ON ARROW.

HE'S DIRECTED SOME OF OUR BEST EPISODES.

I TRUST HIM IMPLICITLY.

THAT MADE IT EASY.

BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME THINGS I HAD TO DO...

...FIGHTING BY MYSELF...

...UH, DOING THINGS IN SLOW MOTION THAT I'D NEVER HAD TO DO BEFORE ON A SHOW.

OR ON OUR SHOW.

SO TRUSTING THE DIRECTOR WAS IMPORTANT AND I DID.

SO NOTHING WAS REALLY OVERLY HARD.

ROBERTO GONZALES SAYS, "YESTERDAY I RAN A HALF MARATHON."

"NAME FIVE SONGS YOU LISTEN WHEN YOU'RE ON THE TREADMILL. GO!"

UH, RADIOACTIVE BY IMAGINE DRAGON

THE KENDRICK LEMAR REMIX. THAT'S ONE OF THE GREAT, GREAT, SONGS EVER.

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA

EMINEM.

JOHN MAYER

DON'T JUDGE ME.

THAT NEW SONG "TAKE ME TO CHURCH".

BY HOSER? HOOSER? HOSIER?

(CHUCKLES) I DON'T KNOW.

I'M ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET BACK INTO MUSIC A LITTLE BIT.

I'VE FALLEN OFF. I USE TO BE REALLY INTO...

FINDING THE NEW..UH..THE NEW STUFF AND

TRYING TO GET BACK INTO IT. THAT WAS FIVE, I THINK.

HEATHER HOOTEN WANTS TO KNOW- THAT A GOOD NAME-

"HOW MUCH OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE SEASON DO YOU KNOW BEFORE IT AIRS?"

"IS IT FAIRLY DETAILED OR JUST IN GENERAL?"

UUHH

"OH, JUST IN GENERAL THIS IS WHAT THE GAME PLAN IS?"

"ALSO, DO YOU KNOW THE JOURNEY FOR ALL THE CHARACTERS?"

"OR DO YOU ONLY GET TO KNOW YOUR OWN?"

I HAVE A NICE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PRODUCERS IN THIS RESPECT. UMM

AS WE'VE GONE THRU THE SEASON: SEASONS 1, 2 AND 3

THE....

THE GENERAL..

...OUTLINE FOR THE SEASON AS WELL AS THE SPECIFIC OUTLINE OF THE SEASON

HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE IN FOCUS EVERY YEAR.

HAD A MEETING RECENTLY.

AND GENERALLY IT BREAKS DOWN TO SAY THE FIRST...

NINE EPISODES AND THEN THE LATTER 11 EPISODES.

IS THAT RIGHT?

I COULD JUST BE WRONG THERE.

NO NOT LATTER 11...

LAST...14.

PFFT. STUPID. HMMM...

SO I'LL GET THE PLAN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

AND THEN I'LL GO IN AND WE'LL CHAT ABOUT

THE LATTER HALF OF THE YEAR.

UH, SOMETIMES IT BREAKS DOWN INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE.

WHERE IT'S THE FIRST NINE

OR 1 TO 9....

...10 TO 13...

...14 TO 23...

BUT. YEAH. THIS YEAR THERE WAS A REALLY GOOD OVERALL PLAN.

AND I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD RUMBLINGS ABOUT PLANS

FOUR SEASON 4.

WE HAVE TO BE PICKED PICK UP.

OBVIOUSLY. (GARBLED) BUT YOU PLAN.

SO...UM..(CHUCKLES)

THERE ARE SOME COOL THINGS COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE.

NORE AL RAPHAEL WANTS TO KNOW:

"IS OLIVER A LITTLE BIT JEALOUS OF BARRY'S SUPERPOWER"

I DON'T THINK SO.

SOPHIA SHAHAB GUARI-

SO SORRY ABOUT THE PRONUNCIATION OF NAMES.

"TWO LIES. ONE TRUTH ABOUT THE CROSSOVER."

SHOULDN'T HAVE READ THAT QUESTION

BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO ANSWER IT.

TWO LIES. ONE TRUTH.

THEA HAS AS CLOSE TO A MARILYN MONROE EPISODE

AS, (STUTTERS) INCIDENT? EPISODE?
