Between Dolph Lundgren on Arrow and Lance Henriksen on Legends of Tomorrow, did you guys just go through the catalog of ’80s character actors?
Klemmer: I did work on Chuck. I’ve worked with [Lou] Ferrigno, Linda Hamilton… Yeah, as children of the ’80s.
Guggenheim: I think what’s nice is we don’t start off going, “We’ve got to cast this person.” We create the character, so we write the characters and then we go, “Okay, who would be fun to have play them?” Actually, what was awesome in both the case of Lance and Dolph, they were our first choices. It was like oh, this character has to be Lance. This character has to be Dolph. Fortunately they said yes.
