Andrew J. West joins Once Upon a Time in Seattle



Once Upon a Time ' s fabulous Author is making his way into the show's spin-off, , only that -- he won't.

Confused? Because who Andrew J. West is going to portray in his recently announced recurring role in Seattle isn't our dear Henry Mills, who he portrays since the Season Six finale -- it's Henry Mills' Wish Realm version, King Henry. Portrayed by Jared S. Gilmore in seasons six, seven and, King Henry seems to have grown up in the eight-year time jump between Season Eight and Seattle.

"It's a very unique experience," confesses West, "as it's technically a different character but he still shares some traits with the regular Henry. Also, we're telling the story of this character who also still has a recurring role in Season Nine, portrayed by Jared. So we're seeing him in two distinct points of his life, and that's interesting."

Andrew J. West's first appearance as King Henry will be its still untitled fourth episode, in which we'll see him "in a visit to Seattle to forget his troubles," as revealed by showrunner Winged Pig.

The first half of Once Upon a Time in Seattle is set to premiere sometime during the next few months.
