37 | !! He provides examples of: |
38 | * AscendedFancast: He was a fairly popular choice for the role of Deathstroke and was eventually cast because producers found a fanart of it. |
39 | * AscendedFanon: His D&D character, the lawful evil paladin of Tiamat Arkhan the Cruel, has made an appearance in ''TabletopGame/BaldursGateDescentIntoAvernus'', where players can go through him to petition Tiamat herself for aid. |
40 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: At 6'5", he's naturally this with any actress he's paired with -- ''especially'' his ''True Blood'' love interest, the 5'5" Creator/AnnaPaquin. |
41 | * {{Metalhead}}: He snuck a Music/{{Metallica}} song into his wedding ceremony, albeit a violin and cello version of "Nothing Else Matters". He also throws up the metal horns any chance he gets. |
42 | * MrFanservice: To the point where he's practically a WalkingShirtlessScene in some of the stuff he's in. |
43 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
44 | ** He was originally cast to play Wes on ''Series/{{Scream Queens|2015}}'', but pulled out before production began, eventually replaced by Oliver Hudson. |
45 | ** He was set to appear as Deathstroke in more Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse films than ''Justice League'' such as a ''Batman'' film and even a film centered around his character, but the constant changes in the plans of Creator/DCFilms made them fall into DevelopmentHell. |
