She evolved from the spoiled rich kid in the early days of the show to the skillful superhero in the iconic red hooded suit. She was trained by Malcolm Merlyn (2018 FACTS guest John Barrowman&#8217;s character), after all.<\/p>\n<p>One could say that Willa Holland rose to ranks thanks to her performance in the popular drama series <strong>The O.C.<\/strong>, where she beautifully portrayed<strong> Kaitlin Cooper<\/strong> for two years (2006-2007). This paved the way to not only <em>Arrow<\/em>, but also to (lead) roles in many other cool series and movies, such as <strong>Gossip Girl, Legion, Straw Dogs<\/strong>, and <strong>Tiger Eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We also recommend experiencing her voice acting skills by playing the <strong>Kingdom Hearts<\/strong> games, in which she voices Keyblade Master Aqua.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to meet this amazingly talented American actress, then you know what to do!
