You’ve probably seen Robbie Amell before he nabbed the leading role of Stephen in “The Tomorrow People.” The young actor — “Arrow” star Stephen Amell’s cousin — has had recurring roles in everything from “How I Met Your Mother” to “Alcatraz” (he was the young Ray Archer) to “1600 Penn” to “Revenge.”
“The Tomorrow People,” however, is the Canadian actor’s first lead role. Because of this, Amell is totally eligible for inclusion in Zap2it’s 2013-2014 Ones to Watch list. You can get to know Robbie Amell a little better in this exclusive Q&A.
