The nominees: Choice Action TV Actor
Chris Wood, Supergirl (The CW)
Clayne Crawford, Lethal Weapon (Fox)
Gabriel Luna, Agents of SHIELD (ABC)
Grant Gustin, The Flash (The CW)
Stephen Amell, Arrow (The CW)
Wentworth Miller, Prison Break (Fox)
Sizing up the field
Of this group, you’ve got a really interesting field. Unfortunately, you can go ahead and write off Crawford from the list given that Lethal Weapon isn’t really a teen show. We’re also not sure how many teens out there even remembered the original Prison Break enough to enjoy the revivial.
As for the others, Luna is probably a long shot — his Ghost Rider was awesome, but he didn’t quite appear in enough of the season.
Who will win
To us, this is most likely between Gustin, Wood, and Amell, and of the three, we think that Gustin probably has the most consistent support while also being on a show that is extremely teen-friendly. It’s also hard to complain about the choice, given that he effectively played several different versions of himself across different timelines over season 3.
Who should win
Stephen Amell was sensation on Arrow season 5, and delivered some of the best acting that we’ve seen on the entire CW – DC Comics universe so far. The episode with the interrogation with Adrian Chase was haunting, gritty, and all sorts of powerful. If he’s not getting a nod at some other awards shows (he’s certainly worthy of some consideration), he should absolutely get it here.
