Stephen Amell angered a lot of people when he made comments about the SAG-AFTRA strike that seemed to imply that he didn’t support the strike.
Now, the actor’s Heels showrunner Mike O’Malley is opening up about what he said to Stephen in a private phone call after the comments went viral.
Stephen spoke out at a fan convention in July and said that while he supports “my union, I do, and I stand with them but I do not support striking, I don’t.”
“I think it is a reductive negotiating tactic and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating and I think the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I’m on [Heels], that premiered last night, I think it’s myopic,” he added.
Stephen later clarified his comments and explained point-by-point what he said and what he meant by it.

The brand new Starz series Heels, which stars Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig, has been renewed for a second season!
The eight-episode series is set in a close-knit Georgia community, and follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals, Jack (Amell) and Ace (Ludwig) Spade, war over their late father’s legacy.
“It’s clear from the critical and fan acclaim that the stories and characters from the Duffy Wrestling League have made a connection with audiences bringing a community that is not often found to premium TV,” Starz president Jeffrey Hirsch said in a statement. “I’m excited for our amazing cast and executive producers to get back into the ring together for a second season.”
Alison Luff, Mary McCormack, Kelli Berglund, Allen Maldonado, James Harrison and Chris Bauer also star in the show.
Stephen Amell is celebrating the upcoming premiere of his new Starz series Heels!
The 40-year-old actor stepped out for a 92Y conversation about the show with cast members Alexander Ludwig, Alison Luff, James Harrison, and Kelli Berglund on Thursday (July 29) in New York City.
It was just announced that Stephen‘s wine brand Nocking Point Wines will be honoring the release of Heels by releasing a Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec red blend, Kayfabe.
The show’s pilot episode is titled “Kayfabe,” a term used in professional wrestling to mean the convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic, and was chosen as the wine’s name to celebrate the series launch.
“Filming Heels put us all through a rollercoaster of emotions as we navigated a pandemic,” Stephen said in a statement. “That all being said, I am so proud of this show and grateful to have worked with the talented cast and crew who made it possible to get a glimpse into this arena that I admire so much. Being able to bring both my Nocking Point Wines and Heels worlds together by making a wine to commemorate the first season means so much to me. I hope people order the wine and enjoy it with me as we step into the ring and watch the season premiere together.”
The wine will be available to purchase on August 1 for $27 a bottle. The premiere of Heels will air on Starz on August 15.
