‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: Prince Hans gets a little ‘Shameless’
Want to know who will be playing Prince Hans on “Once Upon a Time” season 4? Luckily, the show was kind enough to give us that answer already.
Sources confirm that Tyler Jacob Moore, who is best known for “Shameless” over on Showtime, will play the conniving Prince Hans in at least one episode of the show. For all of you “Frozen” fans, you’ll remember him as the guy who convinces Anna that he is her one true love, when in reality he uses her naivete in order to seize control of Arendelle when she is off trying to track down Elsa. Anna’s true love is Kristoff, who will have a much larger role on the show than Hans likely will.
Maybe Hans will be a villain again here, or maybe he will just be a small part. We’re leaning more towards the latter, given that they’ve already cast Elizabeth Mitchell in some sort of significant role through the first half of the season. You don’t cast someone of her caliber without having a major part for them to play.
Production on season 4 of the show has already begun in Vancouver, and the first 11 episodes are meant to be all about this “Frozen” storyline. There will still be some other threads at play here as well, though, including Rumpelstiltskin’s latest lie and also whether or not Emma can ever be forgiven again by Regina, this time for accidentally compromising the relationship that she has with Robin Hood by bringing Marian to Storybrooke.
