Stephen Amell Amplifies Fundraiser For Family Of ‘Arrow’ Crew Member Who Died By Suicide During Strike
deadline.com“Dave McLean became not only a friend, but family to me during our eight seasons together on Arrow,” Stephen Amell says of The CW superhero series crew member who took his own life on October 9. “It hurts to lose such a vibrant spirit to struggles with mental health.” Vancouver-based genny operator McLean was a member of the Lighting and Electrical department during the Greg Berlanti- and Marc Guggenheim-EP’d series’ 2012-20 run.
