'Heels' Showrunner Reveals What He Said to Stephen Amell After the Actor's Comments on SAG-AFTRA Strike

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.

So, what did Mike say in his phone call with Stephen?

Stephen Amell Lands First Post-'Arrow' Television Role!

Stephen Amell has booked his next project!

The 38-year-old actor is currently working on the final season of Arrow and then he’ll begin work on wrestling series Heels for Starz. The hourlong drama will get an eight-episode first season.

Deadline reports that “Heels is about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals — one of them played by Amell — war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel (Amell). But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.”

“In the ring, Amell’s Jack Spade is the charismatic villain, or heel, of the Duffy Wrestling Association (DWA). In the real world, he’s its hard-working owner, a husband and father trying to make ends meet while fighting to realize his impossible dreams. He has the mind of an artist in the body of a warrior, and a Steve Jobs-ian need for perfection — and for control. He says he’ll do whatever it takes to build the DWA into an empire. Will he go so far as to risk his marriage, or his relationship with his brother?”

Glee actor Mike O’Malley, who played Finn’s dad, will be the showrunner!

Will Smith flashes a big smile on the red carpet while attending the Centerpiece Gala premiere of his latest film Concussion held during the 2015 AFI Fest at TCL Chinese Theatre on Tuesday (November 10) in Hollywood.

The 47-year-old entertainer was joined at the event by his co-stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sara Lindsey, Albert Brooks, Mike O’Malley, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, David Morse and writer-director Peter Landesman.

Will, who plays American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, recently opened up about what the film means to him.

“It was personal for me from day one, when I sat down with Dr. Omalu and he said to me, when he was a boy growing up in Nigeria all he ever wanted to be was an American,” Will revealed (via Yahoo News). “The thing that was a revelation for me with this is that is not really the big hits that are the problem, it’s definitely an issue, but more the issue is the repetitive head trauma.”

FYI: Gugu is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress. Sara is wearing a Haney jumpsuit, Stuart Weitzman shoes, Kotur clutch and earrings, with earrings by Melissa Kaye Jewelry and a ring by Neil Lane.
