Once Upon a Time has tapped 24 alum Giles Matthey to play Morpheus in season 6, EW has learned exclusively.
Despite the introduction of the Land of Untold Stories opening up the storytelling possibilities to just about everyone, we’re not talking about Lawrence Fishburne’s character in The Matrix. Matthey’s character is the quick-witted and insightful god of dreams from Greek mythology. He’s equally good at reading people as he is at hiding his own agenda. He will be doing what Morpheus does best — guiding people through the world of dreams.
Lest we forget, Belle (Emilie de Ravin) is currently under a sleeping curse, and we hear Morpheus will, in fact, be interacting with her, as well as Rumple (Robert Carlyle).

You mean Belle is actually going to get some screen time?

Definitely looks like the character really is Morpheus, and he will indeed be involved with Rumple and Belle’s subplot, as we theorized.
They did well enough with Hades but pretty poorly with Zeus so their track record with my beloved Greek gods is mixed.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"*gasp* He played Claude, the fairy guy thing on TrueBlood!!! I know this guy…Wow…he’s gotten older. Hmm… interesting…Not quite what I would have expected for this character. I’m intrigued.

There was also Poseidon, who I’d say was fine for what he was given to do.
Here’s a better look at Giles Matthey:
The actor is pretty young at 28 years old, but it seems like Morpheus is depicted as youthful looking in various art anyway.
This is the second Brit actor from Day 9 of 24 to be recruited by Once. I’d been a bit excited when I recognised King Arthur from 24, then I ended up being a bit bummed for Liam Garrigan having gotten roped into playing a part that the writers kinda wrecked. Here’s hoping *twitch* Giles fares a bit better.
*sits back and waits to see who from 24 Day 9 they nab next (you just know they’d love to get Michelle Fairley)*
