From The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Quasimodo - Paul Wesley; Esmeralda - Amanda Crew; Phoebus - Jared Padalecki; Frollo - Jason Issacs; Fluer-de-lys - Dianna Agron; Clopin - Josh Radnor; Most of the casting seems good, although Hayley Atwell won't be able to get on the show, because she is the lead in a different show ABC picked up for the fall. And they had better not choose the actress you suggested for Esmeralda, that would be whitewashing at its finest. Actually in the original novel Esmeralda is not a true gypsy. So if it's based more on the novel it's probably okay. It will still look like whitewashing, considering how she looks in the Disney film, and knowing how much Once pulls from Disney. Besides, she is always identified as a gypsy, and I doubt Once is going to go into so much detail that, technically her mother is French, and she was sold or traded to the gypsies or whatever. Much easier (and safer) to just cast a POC.
