Fringe’s Seth Gabel Cast As “Vertigo” On The CW’s ‘Arrow’

Last week it was revealed that DC super villain Count Vertigo would be appearing on The CW’s Arrow…well, a version of the character that is. This take on the DC villain will be quite different than his comic incarnation and apparently he won’t even be called Vertigo.

In the episode we will see the character appear in, a deadly new drug called Vertigo “becomes all the rage” in Starling City. According to TV Line, Seth Gabel (Fringe) will be playing the “scary and nightmarish” antagonist, who has even been described as “Oliver’s deadliest adversary to date.” The episode is set to air in early 2013.
