David Ramsey stars as former United States Army Special Forces soldier, John Diggle, on the CW’s People’s Choice Award winning show “Arrow,” based on the DC Comics superhero. Created by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg, “Arrow” follows presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow. Unable to help people like he did as a soldier, Diggle becomes Oliver’s confidant and field partner in his mission – to right societal wrongs and transform the city to its former glory. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, David gained many fans from his work on the popular Showtime drama series “Dexter” as Anton Briggs, a confidential informant who had a love affair with the character played by Debra Morgan.
