Justin Hartley stars as billionaire Oliver Queen (a.k.a. the Green Arrow), a gifted archer who gives up the opportunity to be on the U.S. Olympic Team in favor of life as a modern-day Robin Hood on Smallville.
Next up, Hartley stars in the Warner Bros. feature film Spring Breakdown, with Parker Posey, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. In addition, he can be seen in the web series Gemini Divison, opposite Rosario Dawson. Hartley plays Nick Korda, the love interest of Anna Diaz (Dawson), an undercover vice cop from the NYPD who is thrust into a secret struggle between a classified government agency called Gemini Division and a group of suspected terrorists known as Sims.
Born in Knoxville, Illinois, Hartley attended Southern Illinois University and The University of Illinois in Chicago where he majored in history and theater.
Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Hartley scored his first television job on the soap opera Passions, where he played the prodigal son of the Crane monarchy for three years. No stranger to playing iconic comic book characters, Hartley also nabbed the highly coveted role of DC Comics' "Aquaman" in The CW pilot that also starred Ving Rhames.
Hartley's favorite pastime is baseball, but he's also an avid basketball player. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, and former Passions co-star, Lindsay Hartley, and their daughter Isabella.
