Colton Haynes first gained recognition for his work on the MTV series "Teen Wolf" and the CW series "Arrow," where he played notable characters Jackson Whittemore and Roy Harper, respectively. His portrayal of these characters earned him a large fan base and further opportunities in the industry, such as roles in the 2015 film "San Andreas" and the 2017 comedy "Rough Night." In 2018, Haynes featured in the movie "Bigger" alongside his "Teen Wolf" co-star Tyler Hoechlin.
