Arrow Promotes Echo Kellum To Series Regular In Season Five

Echo Kellum, who plays Curtis Holt on Arrow, has been upgraded from a recurring guest star to a series regular in Season Five, TVLine reports.

I guess that means it isn't him in the grave at the end of the year.

The character, a riff on Michael "Mr. Terrific" Holt from the comics, started out this year as essentially Felicity's assistant at Palmer Tech but has taken on more of a role both there, and on Team Arrow, throughout the year. The introduction of his trademark T-spheres has led many fans to wonder when we would see him in full-on Mister Terrific mode.

Arrow airs on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
