Legends of Tomorrow: Dominic Purcell Discusses “Welcome To The Jungle”

A new episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs tonight (November 21) on The CW and it promises to have some good character moments for Dominic Purcell‘s Mick Rory character.

We were part of a group of journalists who recently visited the Vancouver sets of the show, and while there, Purcell talked a little bit about what “Welcome To The Jungle” means for Mick.

“I think this is the first time this season where we get to see some character stuff, some real deep stuff from Rory, and he’s starting to unwind a little, certainly in this episode,” Purcell teases. “He meets his father, and so there’s beautiful moments there. For me personally, it was a great experience, just doing some emotional work.”

You can see some video below; underneath that, find some preview images for “Welcome To The Jungle.”
