EW 7/23: Former Galavant Star Karen David Cast As Jasmine

[RumplesGirl]

This is a perfect casting for the character of Jasmine, I only pray Adam and Eddy do her character justice and not screw it up like they did with Megara!

Exactly! I don’t know if I trust them with my beloved Isabella Maria Lucia Elisabetta. She’s all about the deconstruction of the princess myth.

(I will stop quoting Galavant shortly, I swear)

I just hope they don’t ruin jasmine like they did Megara. Shes a great actress I can totally see her in the role. I’m really looking forward to this season.

I feel your pain. The actress who played Isabella was great in Galavant, but I don’t want her character to be mistreated the way many princesses have been on this show (*cough Mulan cough*).

Karen posted about this on her FB page:

Well the cat’s out of the bag… I can finally say that another childhood dream has come true! Growing up, I adored Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. Having a Disney role model to look up to as a young teen, who was strong, smart, witty and true to herself, and happened to be diverse, was so inspiring! Now to play her is such an honour. This casting means especially so much to me because of all you lovelies who wanted me to play this role from when I first started on Galavant! Thank you for believing in me! ? I am so grateful for such an amazing opportunity and so thankful to ABC, Veronica at casting, Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis and the Once Upon A Time family! Storybrooke! Here I come!
