Seth Gabel to Portray Major Villain on Arrow

Arrow has targeted Seth Gabel for a major guest-starring role.

The former Fringe star has been cast as "Oliver’s deadliest adversary to date," according to TV Line sources, and will come on board this CW smash in early 2013 as a character based on the comic book villain Vertigo.

While his name will differ from that well-known Big Band, his primary weapon of disorienting and unbalancing his victims will remain unchanged.

Gabel last appeared on the aforementioned Fox drama in May and will debut on an Arrow episode aptly titled "Vertigo."
