I'm thinking Once could use a bit of comedic undertones. Nick would be great as a Wizard (Merlin), Aziz might make a good/funny Aladdin, and Aubrey could do whatever she wants, she's hilarious and would grab viewers like crazy. I was referring to that part of your post. Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza are known as actors / comedians which means they specialize and thrive in comedy and some of them are stand up comedians. When I say I don't want to see any of them in OUAT does not in any way mean I underestimate any of them. I loved them on Parks & Recs but OUAT is different.

Yes actors are actors they can do a lot of things but most of the times actors have a special field in which they're great at. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie though they have long lasting careers the roles they portray are usually more of the same. Depp is a fantastic actor but if you look at his work most of the characters have a lot in common. And before you say "Yes the Mad Hatter and Jack Sparrow have a lot in common" in a sarcastic way, let me tell you I mean the way they are portrayed. Same for Jolie.

They would never cast a comedian or an actor whose resume consists mostly of comedies in a drama because they don't fit in.UNLESS they have a special, original role in mind.
