Once Upon a Time: Casting a Pirate and a Prince

Captain Hook and Sleeping Beauty's true love, Prince Phillip, have been cast for the second season of Once Upon a Time.

Irish actor, Colin O'Donoghue will play the one-handed Captain Hook. He was previously seen in The Tudors. According to Entertainment Weekly's website, "the villain has been described as a confident pirate who never backs down from a fight; a man who seeks to crush and humiliate his enemies. But he also has the meticulous style and manners of a proper gentleman." If Captain Hook is around, can Peter Pan be far behind?

British actor, Julian Mooris, will play Prince Phillip, the prince who’s seeking to awaken Sleeping Beauty (Sarah Bolger). Also according to Entertainment Weekly's website, Phillip is "described as a man who’s traveled from a kingdom that’s in decline. He’s described as a young, skilled warrior and selfless hero who’s the veteran of many tough journeys." Morris plays Wren Kingston on ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars and he’s also had roles on Fox’s 24 and NBC’s ER.

I am so excited for the next season of Once Upon a Time. If they keep casting good looking men, they'll keep the women watching (including me). I watched the pilot again yesterday. I hadn't seen it since it first aired. It was fun to see it after having seen the whole season, and catching things that made more sense now.
