ABC

ONCE UPON A TIME Casting Announcement

By  | 

Michael Raymond-James

The character of Neal Cassidy aka Baelfire may be in grave danger since (spoiler alert!) he was shot and fell through a portal to the Enchanted world as seen in the last two episodes of the ABC fairytale drama Once Upon a Time, but the actor who plays that character – Michael Raymond-James – actually has something to be excited about.

He is being made a series regular on the show when it returns for its third season!

Needless to say, that bodes well for Neal/Baelfire’s future; and seeing how his body was discovered by Aurora, Mulan and Phillip, this casting announcement obviously means he must survive his injuries. But, of course, viewers won’t know what really happens until the show returns this fall.

Congrats to Michael on getting the promotion!!
