Hartley did a seven-episode run as billionare Oliver Queen (secretly the Green Arrow) on the CW series Smallville later that year. There is an animated micro-series called "Smallville Legends: The Oliver Queen Chronicles" on Sprint Wireless, chronicling the Green Arrow's origins as a young boy, with which Hartley has no affiliation.
