Casting the Regina’s mother

Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey has landed a mother of a role on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, as the very woman who brought the Evil Queen into this world — or, to be more precise, into the fairytale world.

Hershey, who is also an Emmy and Golden Globe winner for her role in the 1990 TV-movie A Killing in a Small Town, will first appear as the queen’s mum, Cora, later this season, with the option of also having a short arc in Season 2 (if/when the fantastical drama conjures up a renewal this spring).

Hershey’s Oscar nod came for her supporting role in 1996′s The Portrait of a Lady. Much more recently, she has appeared on the big screen in Black Swan (where she played Natalie Portman’s mother) and last spring’s horror-thriller Insidious. Her long film resume also includes The Last Temptation of Christ (as Mary Magdalene), Hannah and Her Sisters and Beaches, to name but a few.

The actress’ most recent TV credits include a 2010 installment of the British series Agatha Christie’s Poirot and the short-lived WB family drama The Mountain.

You know the joke about how, whenever a kid turns out rotten, it’s the mother’s fault? In the case of Once Upon a Time‘s Evil Queen (Lana Parilla), it’s actually true.

An upcoming arc will introduce us to Cora, the malevolent Mommie Dearest who taught Regina her wicked ways.

Nikita‘s Noah Bean is taking a brief detour to Fairytale Land.

The actor — who recurs on the CW drama as presumed-dead former CIA agent Ryan — has landed a guest stint on Once Upon a Time, TVLine has learned exclusively.

He’ll play a handsome stable boy in Fairytale Land who tends to horses at the royal manor. He’s a young romantic who believes that love can make anything possible, even breaking through the barriers of his social station.

Casting for young Snow White
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118049838.html?cmpid=RSS|News|TVNews
“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” star Bailee Madison has booked a guest role as a young Snow White on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time.”

Episode, which will be titled “Stable Boy,” has not set an airdate yet.

Madison landed the lead in “Dark” after her “Brothers” co-star Natalie Portman recommended the 12-year-old actress to producer Guillermo del Toro.

Thesp, who most recently starred alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in “Just Go With It,” will soon be seen playing Billy Crystal’s granddaughter in Andy Fickman’s family comedy “Parental Guidance,” which 20th Century Fox releases this fall.

Madison is repped by Coast to Coast Talent Group.
Bean previously recurred as the fiance of Rose Byrne’s Ellen in the first season of Damages.

Well, now that I think about it, Abigail seemed a lot older than Frederick in ‘What Happened to Frederick,” so I think I can understand why we might see her again when Snow is small.

I think we’ll only see Kathryn … Just because it says Kathryn/Abigail doesn’t mean we’ll see both characters. It just means the actor plays both parts in the series.
