Cody Rhodes comments on his role in Arrow.

Long before he was the ace of WWE, Cody Rhodes was dipping his toe into acting. Among other roles, he landed a part in Arrow. He appeared in seven episodes and played Derek Sampson. The role crossed over into WWE, as he feuded with Arrow star Stephen Amell. At WWE SummerSlam 2015, Rhodes, then known as Stardust, and King Barrett faced Amell and Neville.

In a tweet, Rhodes responded to a fan who shared a clip of Rhodes in Arrow and said he was acting like the rent was due.

Technically… it was

Special highlight for me was during the season 5 appearance, I snuck away from Vancouver without telling production for an indie where I wrestled @DijakWWE

(Was just praying I didn’t get bruised or a black eye ?) https://t.co/heLAUt81tS
