'Once Upon a Time' Casts its Prince Hans, Troll King
by Shannon Keirnan"Once Upon a Time" is rounding out its "Frozen" cast members... added recently is Tyler Jacob Moore and John Rhys-Davis.
Tyler Jacob Moore, who you might recognize from "Shameless," will be stepping in as Prince Hans, the heartless and power-hungry charmer who originally made Anna (Elizabeth Lail) fall for him. Since "Once Upon a Time" will be picking up where "Frozen" left off, it's a fair bet there's some angry feelings there. He is described as having a chip on his shoulder and a burning desire to be king, so it sounds like not much has changed.
Prince Hans will debut in the third episode of the season. The "Frozen" characters will be recurring throughout, with "Fringe" actress Georgiana Haig as Elsa, "Greek" actor Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff, and Elizabeth Mitchell in an unknown role.
Also joining the cast will be veteran actor John Rhys-Davis, who has appeared in "Lord of the Rings," and "Indiana Jones." He will be playing the voice role of Pabbie the Troll King, who will appear in CGI form. As in the movie, Pabbie is "gentle, wise, and the source of unexpected insight."
A first look at the "Once Upon a Time" version of the "Frozen" story revealed that Anna is busy planning her wedding to Kristoff when the show picks up with the group. Will Hans' appearance throw a wrench into things; will he conflict with Prince Charming and try to take over Storybrooke? What do you think?
"Once Upon a Time" returns to ABC on Sunday, September 28th.
