I don't know if anyone whipped any “hard fruit” at Arrow actor Stephen Amell, but the actor joined the SAG-AFTRA picket lines in NYC today.

Photos (via The Hollywood Reporter) showed Amell in the picket lines in NYC in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

If you remember, it was just a few weeks ago that Amell criticized the strike. He claimed to not support striking and called it a “reductive negotiating strategy.”

It didn't take long for Amell to come out and clarify those comments. In a lengthy Instagram post, Amell claimed his support of SAG-AFTRA and stood by his “reductive negotiating strategy” comment while clarifying that it still can be “emotionally frustrating on many levels for all involved.”

The ending of the Instagram post did insinuate that you would eventually see Amell joining the SAG-AFTRA strike picket lines. Seeing it actually unfold is another thing. At least he is standing by his union brothers and sisters during this difficult time.
