ARROW Star Stephen Amell Promises We’ll See Oliver Queen’s Goatee…Eventually
The CW’s Arrow has taken its time to gradually introduce Green Arrow’s more comic book-y characteristics, such as his mask, politics, and even the name “Green Arrow.” But one thing that hasn’t shown up is Oliver Queen’s signature goatee.

So, when is it coming? At Salt Lake Comic-Con (via Comic…
