David Anders will play a brand new villain on The CW’s Arrow according to Zap2It. Anders will play Cyrus Vanch – a career criminal released from prison who returns to his evil ways in Starling City.
You may have seen Anders on Once Upon a Time and The Vampire Diaries but I will always love him from the J.J. Abrams spy drama Alias. Anders played the sinister and smarmy Julian Sark. I was among a group of Alias addicts who got to meet the charming actor while promoting a charity event.
Anders is the latest actor from the sci-fi/fantasy genre to join the series. Ben Browder, John Barrowman, Tahmoh Penikett and Seth Gabel will be guest starring on the series. This week the DC vigilante Huntress (played by Jessica De Gouw) comes to Starling City.

Anders was cool in Alias, and I know a few of my friends that work with me at DISH who have enjoyed his character, Dr. Whale, on OUAT. Arrow has been so awesome for unleashing a slew of characters, and the action in every episode has convinced me to save this entire season to my DISH Hopper. It’s nice to have a DVR with a 2TB hard drive for this time of year; I can save my entire TV lineup, plus a full season of a great show. Now I just need to stay patient while I wait to see who else from the DC universe makes it to the show.
