Arrow’s Rick Gonzalez Reveals His Hopes For Wild Dog In Season 6

Wild Dog has come a long way during his short time on Arrow, but Season Six offers the character some truly intriguing possibilities.

Wild Dog actor Rick Gonzalez sat down with ComicBook.com’s Jim Viscardi at San Diego Comic-Con to talk about what’s in store for Rene Ramirez this season, and what he hopes to see for his character.

What I’m hopeful for is the trajectory of what was established in five in terms of my character and hopefully seeing payoffs and establishing it more in a stronger way. Because we’ve all established Renee as a father, someone who lost things tragically, so if he’s a father then maybe he can be a dad again, ya know. Maybe he can be whole again as a person because this team is saving his life, so I can hope for that and that’s what I’m hoping to see for him.

Granted, this is all going with the notion that Ramirez survives the explosive events of the Season Five finale, but it certainly seems he will have some sort of future in Season Six. Ramirez has certainly grown a great deal over the course of last season, and seeing him once again embrace fatherhood would certainly be a lovely way to expand his character arc.

You can find the entire interview in the video above, and you can find the description for Arrow below.

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey),computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).

Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
