Changes: Greg Germann

Revision as of 04:56, 31 January 2020

Every script that I’ve gotten is so inventive and there seems to be no limitations of what I can do, and then underneath that as powerful as he is, there is this human quality. Love is in there. Even with a character like Hades, there’s desire and wish fulfillment in there. It just makes a villain like Hades the most fun to play.

—Greg Germann ^src

Greg Germann is the American actor who portrays Hades on ABC's Once Upon a Time.
