ARROW Casts Wil Traval as the Human Target

DC Comics’ Christopher Chance, aka Human Target, previously headlined two television shows, both titled Human Target. The 1990s show starred Rick Springfield as the character, while the 2010 series starred Mark Valley. Now, a third version of Chance is coming to TV, this time on The CW’s Arrow.

According to KSiteTV, Christopher Chance/Human Target is appearing on episode five of Arrow this season. This episode is titled, well, “Human Target.” The character will be played by Wil Traval, who you may recognize as the actor who played Will Simpson on Marvel/Netflix’s Jessica Jones.

Warner Bros. TV describes Arrow‘s version of Human Target as “…a professional bodyguard and master of disguise who assumes the identities of those targeted by assassins. His latest client: Mayor Oliver Queen.” It’s unknown if Human Target will only appear in this episode, or if he’ll return for more later this season.

Stay tuned for more news as we have it. Arrow returns on Wednesday, October 5th at 8 PM EST on The CW.
