Once Upon A Fan

Jorge Garcia has given a great interview to The Huffington Post. A sample of the interview is below.

"Once Upon A Time" always puts an interesting spin on familiar characters, so is there anything unique about the Giant that makes him different from the fairytale we know?

Yeah -- it wouldn’t be “Once Upon a Time” if they didn’t skew him in a direction that we weren’t expecting, so that’ll definitely be part of the thing, but you know ... that’s part of the secret! [Laughs.]

How did Adam and Eddy approach you about this role. Have they been looking to get you on the show for a while?

Yeah, we’ve talked about it for a while, whenever I’d run into them. We’ve been talking about them wanting to find a way to get me on. At different times we’ve talked ... but suddenly, this came up and they pitched the Giant to me and it sounded like an inspired fit, so we went for it.

Will there be an opportunity for you to return? Can we expect some Giant backstory or a trip to Storybrooke?

They gave me some hints towards what the Giant’s origin story is, and I think their intention is to tell it at some point and share it with the audience. I just got a call that they’re looking to bring me back a month from now, so maybe that’ll be the time.

I'm guessing you didn't share any scenes with Emilie de Ravin [Belle], but did you catch up while you were on set?

No, no one was in town while I was shooting, actually, because I’m also good friends with Lana [Parrilla] as well. I was like, "Hey, I’m here shooting" and she had to be in L.A. that week. It was the week before the Emmys, I think, so we just kind of passed each other ... Lana and I have known each other for many years and we were in an acting class together for a while, so it would be kind of fun to then have a professional scene where we get to act across from each other and bring it all full circle.
