10 Characters We Want to See on Once Upon a Time

10 Characters TV Guide would like to see on Once Upon a Time, and who should play them...

Ariel from The Little Mermaid



Sure, everyone is rooting for redheads Joanna Garcia-Swisher or Molly Burnett to slip on those fins, but if geek goddess Felicia Day doesn't make an appearance on Once, we'll be shocked. And who better than Day to put a twist on the fiery-haired mermaid who wins over the heart of Prince Eric without ever speaking?

Aladdin from Aladdin



Naveen Andrews was no street rat on Lost, but his character Sayid certainly knew how to handle himself in a bind. Over the years, Andrews found the perfect balance between ruthless killer and sweet lover (R.I.P., Shannon), which he could definitely use on an updated version of the eventual prince of Agrabah.

Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz



The producers have already hinted that a trip to Oz isn't far off, but who they'll introduce from the Emerald City remains to be seen. Our first choice: Dorothy Gale. The fresh-faced, doe-eyed Ashley Green could fit right in if a twister — or a spinning, magical hat — whisked her to Storybrooke.

Peter Pan from Peter Pan



Since Hook was introduced earlier this season, fans have been waiting for the arrival of his young nemesis Peter Pan — but what if Peter is all grown up now and can face Hook man-to-man? Between Fringe and his upcoming role on Arrow, Seth Gabel has a knack for sci-fi and fantastical characters, which would make him a great foil for Colin O'Donoghue's two-faced villain. (That is, unless young Henry or his father Neal aren't Peter Pan already.)

The rest at the source

I like most of these characters, but I think they should give more time to the characters we already have. There were WAY too many new characters, just for the sake of introducing new characters that people wanted to see, in season 2, imo...

AHAHAHAHAHA no
chasing_center 28th-Dec-2012 04:05 am (UTC)
What is this troll casting? The ages are off, not to mention the fact that Ashley Green couldn't act her way out of dinner theatre. And Felicia Day? No.
raised_eyebrows 28th-Dec-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
My first thought. He just couldn't pull it off.
ebertrules 28th-Dec-2012 04:40 am (UTC)
lol mte. i mean if you want an indian dude (yeah i know aladdin is iraqi) at least cast the guy from life of pi or something. just try a minimal amount ffs.
msloserrific 28th-Dec-2012 04:23 pm (UTC)
they couldn't try dev patel? i mean, really.

It's been so much worse since she was Mary Sued into Supernatural

UGH. It was horrible.
champagnexdream 28th-Dec-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
This. I don't get her appeal at all.
abbie 28th-Dec-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
Very uninspired casting for Aladdin
bellwetherr 28th-Dec-2012 04:35 am (UTC)
I would love to see the kid from Life of Pi do it. He's charming as fuck.
allysouu 28th-Dec-2012 04:54 am (UTC)
Agreed. However I feel like he deserves better material..
dfabb 28th-Dec-2012 05:00 am (UTC)
this was my first thought for aladdin.
etoile_amore 28th-Dec-2012 05:22 am (UTC)
omg I love him
aka_plynn 28th-Dec-2012 07:19 am (UTC)
Good call.
mjspice 28th-Dec-2012 02:01 pm (UTC)
Hmm he could be now that you mention it. Too bad he's not acting for a while now. :S
piratesswoop 28th-Dec-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
lol mte, at least they could've gone for a middle eastern guy, naveen is indian
hearthecity 28th-Dec-2012 04:56 am (UTC)
he's so old too
mjspice 28th-Dec-2012 02:00 pm (UTC)
IKR?? Sendhil Ramamurthy, Avan Jogia & Elliot Knight are much better choices.
ladyorihime 28th-Dec-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
Sierra Boggess for Ariel.
taimoset 4th-Jan-2013 10:35 am (UTC)
I would actually pass out if that happened haha. Love her!
sandvich 28th-Dec-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
I hate Felicia Day so much and I have no idea why. It's not even her, necessarily, it's just seeing her every-fucking-where.
opera_darling 28th-Dec-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
same. I feel like she seems nice enough, and her success doesn't really bother me, but I just... don't enjoy her. a lot.
bellwetherr 28th-Dec-2012 04:35 am (UTC)
I can't stand her. I think its because everyone cites her as the only true geek girl and she doesn't do much to dispel that.
sandvich 28th-Dec-2012 04:50 am (UTC)
Yeah, that definitely bugs me - the distinction that neckbeards create between "fake geek girls" like Jessica Chobot, whose image is mostly based on being sexy, and The One Geek To Rule Them All, Felicia Day, whose image is based on being unthreatening and attainable. (It's almost like a Madonna-Whore dynamic? Idk, I'm tired.) I think it's also that the level of attention and praise she gets seems, to me, to be totally disproportionate to her actual level of talent. She's about a General Hospital-level actress but for some reason people can't get enough of her.
hammersxstrings 28th-Dec-2012 03:55 pm (UTC)
Mte. This this this
babyyouloveit 28th-Dec-2012 05:02 am (UTC)
I REALLY don't like her
hera_bearrra 28th-Dec-2012 08:26 am (UTC)
She was likable enough on Aisha Tyler's podcast, IMO.

Naveen is hot but is no Aladdin. Unless they cast him as Jafar.

I stopped reading right there and came to comment on that fuckery
dfabb 28th-Dec-2012 05:02 am (UTC)
i love naveen but he would just be so wrong for that character, not to mention way too old.

also that is such a derpy picture of aladdin
druggybridge 28th-Dec-2012 05:13 am (UTC)
Aladdin is based on an arabic story, so I think it'd be better fitting to cast a middle eastern guy. I dunno, I'm very mildly offended by this, but it's okay, maybe they didn't know.
honeychuckles 28th-Dec-2012 06:03 am (UTC)
I could see Avan Jogia as a teenage Aladdin...

zombieland 28th-Dec-2012 06:54 am (UTC)
lol right? they weren't even trying with this
shadowfax 28th-Dec-2012 07:32 am (UTC)
I've mentioned this before I think but Alex Gonzalez for Aladdin srsly

hera_bearrra 28th-Dec-2012 08:27 am (UTC)
I could see him as Aladdin's father or something. But Aladdin himself is supposed to be young.
mjspice 28th-Dec-2012 02:02 pm (UTC)
Yep. *shakes head*
vampireweekend 28th-Dec-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
and their suggestion for ariel is too basic and naveen is too old

I feel like they said Naveen Andrews because he was the only Indian actor they could think of....
That's the only explanation I could think of when he seems really miscast....but so is everyone else
_scarlett_icons 28th-Dec-2012 04:08 am (UTC)
and it's even more stupid since Aladdin isn't Indian.

lettucebun 28th-Dec-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
Seriously but when people think of stories set in the "middle east" they always come up with Indian actors. And I think in the original story, it took place in China.
druggybridge 28th-Dec-2012 05:14 am (UTC)
THANK YOU.
thebloomroom 28th-Dec-2012 07:40 am (UTC)
yep
browniecakemix 28th-Dec-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
I don't even know why when I can actually name more Indian actors working right now than I have been in previous years (though maybe that's just me...). Besides, is Agrabah even supposed to correspond to India at all?

Idk if he's ever played an Aladdin-type character, but Sendhil Ramamurphy--and that's just off the top of my head--would certainly look the part a lot better than Naveen imo.
childish 28th-Dec-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
lol you know it
iamalreadyinuse 28th-Dec-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
Yes, but still doesnt explain why they didnt at least pick dev patel or something.
bohhead 28th-Dec-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
that is so dumb tho
howlcosmiclove 28th-Dec-2012 06:24 am (UTC)

_scarlett_icons 28th-Dec-2012 04:07 am (UTC)
No to all of these, sorry.

principino 28th-Dec-2012 04:08 am (UTC)
This article is terrible. The show is a mess right now and needs fewer characters, not more.
dommon5844 28th-Dec-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
Right?? I think they got caught up with introducing characters and this season wasn't as good as the first...
