We know the final two episodes deal with the backstory of Bae (Neal’s name by birth), specifically with his time in Neverland, but will we also be seeing you in any of these flashbacks?
Michael Raymond-James: It’s mainly going to be my character’s flashback. It will involve Neal — me — in present day Storybrooke, and the backstory of younger Baelfire played by Dylan [Schmid] after my dad let me go for the first time. This is a really difficult show to talk about in terms of giving away spoilers.
Of course, I understand it’s a tricky line to toe. Given all the secrecy and the layers to the show, how was it for you to jump straight into such a major role in the second season?
MRJ: I was familiar with the show, but I hadn’t seen a ton of it. So it’s always a question when you jump on a hit that’s already been established and it’s an ensemble piece, but all those questions get answered fairly quickly when you arrive. And I was so enamored by the pitch from [show co-creators] Adam [Horowitz] and Eddy [Kitsis] about what this character was, and the plans that they had for developing the character and how the story was going to go; I just wanted to be involved. The rest sort of figures itself out. I was incredibly lucky to be able to come on to a show that has such a great cast, a great crew, a great group of people who have been incredibly wonderful to work with, and made some really great friends out of it. Whatever sort of worries I had going into it about how this is going to work were quickly tossed aside because it’s been just an absolute blast to go work with your friends.
