Best of luck, David Anders.

While we adore this veteran actor (The Vampire Diaries, 24, Once Upon a Time), but he has a tough job on next week's new episode of Arrow: follow in the villainous footsteps of Seth Gabel.

That guest star blew most fans away with his portrayal of The Count on last night's "Vertigo." Will Anders be up to a similar task on next Wednesday's "Betrayal," coming on board as a just-released convict who sets his sights on our favorite hooded vigilante?

Watch the official CW episode teaser now and see for yourself:
