yesterday Etan Embry was on set, with Robert, Lana and Barbra let the speculation begin. 😀 I kinda wonder if he is Cora(?) assuming the other imposter theory is debunked. Anyone????
I read that tweet too! I’m at a total loss for who Ethan is playing. I’m holding out hope that he’s the Wizard of Oz.
…wait, wasn’t it confirmed that he was going to play Victor Frankenstein’s brother? Hmmm…me confused.
Like Spyglass said, Victor’s brother (Gerhardt) is being played by Chad Michael Collins. Everyone assumed that Ethan Embry would play Victor’s brother because there’s an uncanny resemblance between him and David Anders, but it turned out we were wrong. Ethan’s character is the “mysterious visitor to SB” named Barrett, “kind and smart, but also has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend.”
I’d been wondering if Ethan’s character might be a real world someone who would be anti-magic and follow Neal to town. But there’s been no suggestion that MRJ is filming right now, is there? So that theory is pretty much shot. Though the Wizard of Oz is meant to be a real world guy, if they stick with the original origin story for him. And he wasn’t truly magical, he was more of an illusionist, so he could potentially be anti-legit-magic. So maybe he’d get drawn to SB, and would try to put things right by using his own bag of tricks to try and get the better of the magic in town. Perhaps. Part of me likes the idea of him being Oz and part of me thinks they’ve already got enough big name players right now, so they could hold off on bringing in Oz for a while.
