Actors can play many roles, but they are usually known to be good at certain roles and that's why they are casted.

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. What you just explained is called typecasting. And that's just the same as stereotyping, And I have very little tolerance for it.

Also, I am not suggesting Once become a sitcom, or medical drama or whatever. I am saying regardless of where main/supporting actors of the show came from before (such as sitcoms, medical dramas, etc), that the show doesn't magically become those things, like Nakis91 was suggesting.

Nick Offerman? Aubrey Plaza? Aziz Ansari? In OUAT? Are we watching the same OUAT? Nick Offerman as Merlin???? It's a fantasy / drama show not a sitcom. Guess who I just saw in Tomorrowland, defined in IMDB as an "Action, Adventure, Mystery" movie? Funnyman of Key & Peele, and Parks and Rec: Keegan-Michael Key, and also funnywoman of Parks and Rec: Kathryn Hahn. I'd say don't underestimate the Parks and Rec actors.
