Green Arrow: All 4 Oliver Queen actors ranked from worst to best

In the world of DC Comics, nobody hits the target quite like Oliver Queen. A billionaire playboy by day and a vigilante at night, he makes it his mission to take down the evil and protect the people of Star City; and he does it all as the heroic Green Arrow.

Oliver spent five years on an island, which reshaped him as a human begin. Losing all selfish tendencies and vowing to do more with his life, he returned home and began his mission as the Emerald Archer. It's a timeless mission, too, as the Green Arrow's story has made him a popular hero among DC's many. He's still a bit underrated and that might be because there are quite a few similarities between him and a certain Dark Knight, but Oliver Queen is his own unique character that many DC fans have fallen in love with over the years.

Yes, the Oliver Queen persona is every bit as important to the Emerald Archer's success. It allows him to function on a day-to-day basis, getting him out there and learning more about the city he is protecting in the process. But it's also a lot of who he was - and who he is. And we've seen that come across extremely well in his multiple TV adaptations.

Before we look back at them, we should add: While the Green Arrow has been portrayed in many animated series, many of those didn't make time to focus on Oliver Queen. Some were an exception to that rule, while both live-action interpretations made a lot of time for Mr. Queen. But of the actors who really got to dive into Oliver's personality, who played him the best?

Note: While there were many actors to voice Green Arrow in animated DC shows, this list will look at the actors who got the chance to explore Oliver Queen's personality outside of being the Emerald Archer.
