- Frederick to Prince Charming after he is freed from the Golden Touch

Frederick is a character on Once Upon a Time. He makes his debut in the thirteenth episode of the first season, although he is mentioned in "The Shepherd". He is played by guest star Greyston Holt, and is the Fairytale Land counterpart of Jim.

History
Frederick is the true love of Princess Abigail, and the two were engaged to be married. Frederick was accidentally turned into a gold statue by King Midas while he was defending him from robbers. After several years and many unsuccessful attempts to break the curse by Princess Abigail, Prince Charming offers to help her undo the curse.

Charming gets water from Lake Nostros, which was rumored to have magical properties, and pours it over Frederick's head, undoing the Golden Touch. After Frederick returns to flesh, he is confused and a joyful Abigail explains what happened. Frederick thanks Prince Charming for saving him. ("What Happened to Frederick")
