I hadn’t seen the show before I was going to be involved with it, so it was a whole new thing to me. What did you think about the premise of “Once Upon a Time?” series, and asked him about his experience on the show, how he approached playing such an iconic character, and what he thought the ultimate fate of the magician would be (though we all know now - or we think we know).
It was definitely a different version of Merlin than many envisioned.Īs the midseason finale nears, we caught up with the 25-year-old, best known for playing Sinbad in the self-titled U.K. Knight’s Merlin was black, had no long white beard or pointy hat, gained his powers through drinking from the cup of Christ, was trapped in a tree for many episodes and even created Excalibur using the cup and the flame of Prometheus (first fire of man). He was all of that and a bit more as “Once” creators Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis pulled a casting coup with Elliot Knight.
There was Camelot and King Arthur, and the return of Mulan and Ruby (Little Red Riding Hood for those not in the know), but in this first half of the fifth season of “Once Upon a Time,” the only character to give Merida a run for her money as most anticipated would be Merlin.įrom the moment he was first mentioned by the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Oncers were looking forward to meeting the wise sage and the all-powerful creator of Excalibur.
