Arrow's Colin Salmon will be on Strictly Come Dancing. Strictly Come Steele: Colin Salmon Joins BBC Dancing Show

Here in the United States, we know it as Dancing With The Stars, but in the United Kingdom, where the show premiered on The BBC, it’s known as Strictly Come Dancing, and it seems an Arrow cast member is among the contestants this year.

British media mostly list him as a James Bond 007 star, but of course, Colin Salmon is and will be, to us, Walter Steele, business associate of Oliver Queen’s father who is seen to have a new relationship with Oliver’s mother that has happened in the years that he was lost at sea. Walter Steele makes his first TV appearance in the Arrow pilot.

In other news, Stephen Amell has just announced he will be a contestant on American Gladiators. Kidding, although, he’d probably win if he did.

Hopefully this Dancing gig won’t keep Colin Salmon away from Arrow for too long. Look for Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One.
