The ONLY one I could MAYBE see in a small role is Rashida Jones and still... omg. omggg... is Once a medical drama? Because last I heard Jennifer Morrison was on House, MD, or is it an animated series with deranged scenes like Ginnifer Goodwin voicing characters in Robot Chicken? and look at that Josh Dallas doesn't play Fandral from Thor, or is it a virus apocolyptic world like in 28 Days Later where Robert Carlyle played in?

Acting doesn't subject to actors playing the same role for the rest of time. Look at Johnny Depp, or Angelina Jolie. Actors are given roles to play different characters with whatever skills they possess. I for one would LOVE Once to have some comedic undertones for once. But you can't use that logic that if they're from a certain genre of TV or Movie, that they can't step into other genres. Look at Chris Pratt, justly from Parks and Rec; he plays a buffoon idiot there, and a superhero in Guardians of the Galaxy. For being a Once fan, it seems you lack a great deal of imagination. Now, now, don't bait others by insulting them or their sense of creativity. Actors can play many roles, but they are usually known to be good at certain roles and that's why they are casted. Example, Robert Carlylye is a great actor and even has experience being an evil wizard or two, so him being an evil wizard in Once isn't far-fetched.

Once does have comedic relief, but it isn't a comedy. It's an action-adventure/ fairytale drama, so it should never become a sitcom or medical drama or horror or whatever else.
