Caity Lotz is an American actress, singer, and dancer. She is known for her roles as Stephanie Horton in the AMC’s drama series ‘Mad Men’ and as Sara Lance/White Canary in the series ‘Arrow’ and ‘DC's Legends of Tomorrow’ respectively. She is also famous for playing the role of Officer Kirsten Landry on MTV’s ‘Death Valley’. Lotz has worked on the big screen in the movies ‘The Machine’, ‘Battle of the Year’, ‘Live at the Foxes Den’, ‘The Pact 2’ and ‘Small Town Crime’. She received the ‘Toronto After Dark Film Festival Award’ for the Best Actress for her performance in ‘The Machine.’ The actress, who has a deep sexy voice, has also starred in several music videos for Lady Gaga, David Guetta, Selena Gomez, JoJo, Kaci Brown and others. As a singer, the blonde beauty has released her album ‘Hold On’ in association with her girl group Soccx. The group’s tracks ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, ‘Scream Out Loud’ and ‘Can't Take My Eyes Off You’ were very popular at the time of their release. Lotz’s other achievements include her placement among Maxim's ‘Hot 100’ list of 2014.
Stephen Amell is a Canadian film and TV actor, best known for his roles in films like ‘Closing the Ring’, ‘Stay with Me’, and ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’. His portrayal of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in the television series ‘Arrow’ made him popular, and earned him four awards. Through five seasons now, he portrays the lead role of a superhero. The show has found so much success that it has spawned a number of other series that make up the network's 'Arrowverse'. Recently in an interview, Amell said that if ‘Arrow’ goes into season 6, then the superhero, the role he plays, should be humorous, and if the show goes beyond that, then he should be more socially conscious. During his school and college days, Amell had a keen interest in sports, and supported and campaigned for local sporting teams. He is also a wrestler and did a television program on wrestling, where he confronted Stardust. Amell has another side to his character—he loves getting involved in social activities and helps charities by fundraising for them.
