TOALE WB'S AQUAMAN
by Jennifer Contino (Pulse)
Aquaman's no longer a fish out of water for the WB. Will Toale has been hooked to play Arthur Curry in the WB series.
Co-creator Alfred Gough told Variety
"In the search for Aquaman, we saw over 400 people in England, Australia, Canada and several U.S. cities. We saw Will's tape over Christmas, and he was the only guy we took to the network. We call him 'the much-maligned Aquaman,' but when we first pitched 'Smallville,' Superman was considered cheesy. In the comic, Aquaman's the lost king of Atlantis, but in our version, he is Arthur Curry, this twentysomething who owns a dive shop."
The 28 year old model turned actor Toale's had bit parts in Uptown Girls and Tempting Adam; as well as a role in A Streetcar Named Desire.
The pilot episode hasn't begun filming yet.
