The ABC drama has tapped Gil McKinney (Supernatural, Friday Night Lights) to play the pivotal role of Prince Eric in a multi-episode Season 3 arc, TVLine has learned exclusively.
He doesn't look like Prince Eric at all. If I had my way it would have been Matt Bomer, but that was never going to happen. Oh well. I haven't this guy in anything, so maybe he will be good. I hope he has a sheepdog named Max.
Agreed, he was great as Henry Winchester and I bet he will make a great Eric. The actor's ability to portray the character is much more important than "this person doesn't look like Prince ___ or Princess ___".
Maybe Tom gets something more permanent if he'll ever be on the show because from the looks of it neither Eric nor Ariel will be around for a longer time and I want to get more regular preferably weekly TW dose if he starts an other tv show.
:D I love Prince Eric, I may have to watch season 3 just for the Little Mermaid arc. I hope we get to see them all in love, TLM always was one of my favorites.
I hope he surprises me with his acting (haven't seen him on anything), but he does not look like Prince Eric IMO. Based only on what I am seeing, I am not happy about this casting.

I loved him on SPN, but not who I pictured as Prince Eric. Can't wait, though!

ReplyDeleteI was kind of hoping Tom Welling would get the role. That being said, I liked him in FNL and I can't wait to see what he adds to the show.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Guess that puts a return as Henry on hold.
ReplyDeleteOMMMGGG IM SOOO EXCITED!! Little Mermaid is my princess movie!! Can't wait!! for eric and ariel!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts....
ReplyDeleteI like that they went against some of the "obvious" choices. Looking forward to see what they have in mind for him.
