I was watching Criminal Minds the other day and all of a sudden I saw Robin Hood! (Sean Maguire). It looks like it aired in 2013, right before being hired on Once. Anyway, I understand this side of Once, hiring actors, is more behind the scenes, functional, unsexy part of the show but it is there, and why not explore it as fans? Now, like HMCooper said, there are 3 roles they're likely looking to fill. There's already a thread for which actor people want for the part of Merlin. IMO, there aren't any good ones. Sorry but in no way is William Shatner right for the role, or Ian McKellen available for it (tv), so why suggest them? Nick Offerman may not be the greatest idea either, but dude can grow a beard and can grab and captivate an audience. For Arthur, I already gave Keir Gilchrist as a suggestion. And for Gwen, honestly, we need some color on this show, so I could see a black or indian actress taking this role, maybe Essense Atkins, or like someone mentioned earlier would be good on Once, Rashida Jones.
