According to TVGuide's Natalie Abrams, James Callis of Battlestar Galactica fame will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of Arrow as The Dodger. The episode is scheduled to air sometime next year. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some more details on Callis' role:
Callis will play The Dodger, an elusive international jewel thief who imposes his plans on the innocent, forcing them to carry out his crimes under duress. When the Sherwood Ruby goes missing in Starling City, the ensuing investigation leads Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) straight to The Dodger, but apprehending him won't be as easy as they may have thought.
No word yet if Callis' Dodger is the same villain-turned-Arrow ally as in the DC Comics.

My thoughts: I've only watched the first episode of Arrow at this point, but I have a season pass for the show on iTunes, so I'm planning on doing a marathon of all the episodes that have aired so far in the next few days. I instantly got hooked on Arrow just by watching the first episode alone. The first episode was very well written and very well done as a whole. The show has a great cast of series regulars, and the people in charge of casting for the show have done great job of casting the guest-star roles so far as well.
I'm already really excited about the fact that Seth Gabel will be guest-starring in upcoming episodes of Vertigo, and James Callis was always one of my favorite actors on Battlestar Galactica, so I couldn't be any more excited about James Callis guest-starring on the show if I tried to be. I've never read any of the comic books that have featured the Green Arrow, but I still think this is a fantastic show, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched the show yet. In case any fans of the show Revenge happen to read this post, I would definitely recommend that they check it out since one of the elements of the show is Oliver Queen setting out to get revenge on people who have wronged his family due to a promise that he made to his father as he was dying.
