Once Upon a Time Chose the Perfect Actor to Play Hans. Also, Hi John Rhys-Davies!

"We finish each others'—" "Second breakfasts!"

Entertainment Weekly reports that the role of Prince Douchebag Hans in Once Upon a Time‘s much-anticipated Frozen storyline will be played by none other than Tyler Jacob Moore. To most of you, he’s “Who?.” To Shameless fans, he’s Cop Tony. I’m on board. See, Cop Tony’s initially presented as a quote-unquote “nice guy,” a clean-cut gentleman who’s had a crush on main character Fiona forever and provides something of a sweet, apple-pie respite from the craziness of her normal life when they start dating. Look at this face! Only then it turns out he’s a jackass with a mommy issues and possessive streak a mile wide, and in season one he messes up Fiona’s life in a big way.

I wanted Simon Woods just like the rest of you, but this is some pitch-perfect casting right here.

Also joining the cast is Gimli, son of Gloin Treebeard John Rhys-Davies. He’s been tapped to provide the voice of Pabbie, the wise old Troll King who basically kidnapped little kid Kristoff. Oh, come on, he did. You know he did. In the original movie Pabbie was voiced by Ciarán Hinds, which I’m glad I did not know, because I’d rather not be sexually attracted to a talking rock, thanks.
