It's great to be able to tell the untold stories of Prince Charming. And being allowed to swing a sword around is not too bad, either!

Biography

Joshua "Josh" Paul Dallas, was born on December 18,[2] 1978[3] in Louisville, Kentucky. He grew up right across the Ohio River in New Albany, Indiana,[1][4] and has one brother.[5] Josh attended New Albany Senior Public High School, and was heavily involved in the school's award-winning performing arts programs. This is where the fire was lit that pushed Josh to continue pursing the arts.[1]

While at New Albany High School, at the age of sixteen, Josh received the Sarah Exley Scholarship, a full ride scholarship giving to one American student every three years to study acting at the prestigious Mountview Conservatoire for the Performing Arts in London.[1]

At the age of twenty, Josh landed his first professional job as an actor with the acclaimed Royal Shakespeare Company. He went on to perform with some of the most renowned theater companies in the world, including the Royal National Theatre, the English National Opera, New Shakespeare Company, and The Young Vic to name a few. Never leaving theater far behind, Josh began landing parts in both television and independent films.[1]

Yearning for his American roots after spending ten years in London, Josh made the move back stateside and landed in Hollywood. Five days after being back in the states, he got the call for a movie role as Fandral in the 2011 blockbuster Thor by Marvel Studios, directed by the Oscar nominated director Kenneth Branagh. Due to conflicting filming schedules with Once Upon a Time, he did not reprise the role for the sequel Thor: The Dark World and Zachary Levi replaced him.[1] In February 2018, Dallas joined the cast of NBC's Manifest as Ben Stone.[6]

He has been dating Once Upon a Time co-star Ginnifer Goodwin since the fall of 2011, became engaged in October 2013[7] and married in April 2014.[8] Together, they have two sons, Oliver Finlay Dallas,[9] who was born on May 29, 2014,[10] and Hugo Wilson Dallas, who was born on June 1, 2016.[11]

The Direct. “He jumps back to the beginning of his time in that world, reminiscing about how "it happened, and then it didn't happen:" "Particularly since it happened, and then it didn't happen, because I was cast in the first one but was doing Chuck, and they wouldn't let me do it, and then the second one came around and the talented Josh Dallas was doing Once Upon A Time, and they wouldn't let him do it, because all of a sudden Marvel's like, 'Ooo Zack, remember us? Wanna come play this role?'"
  14. Rice, Lynette (June 8, 2012). 'Thor' scoop: Josh Dallas won't reprise role as Fandral -- EXCLUSIVE. Entertainment Weekly. “"I'll be missing out on wearing all that hair," Dallas told EW, laughing. "The timing wasn't right. I'm bummed about it because I had such a great experience and great time making the first film and was really excited about coming back. Marvel and Disney tried to make it work. But because of my commitment to Once Upon a Time, I was not going to be able to do both. So I'll have to hand the reins over to someone else. I love Marvel. I wish them all the best. I will certainly be first in line to see it.”
