Comments Off on ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND: Naveen Andrews on Jafar’s Relationships with the Red Queen and Cyrus, Flashbacks, and More

ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND kicked off last week, and the show wasted no time in letting us know that Jafar (Naveen Andrews) was holding Alice’s love, Cyrus, hostage.

So what comes next? I spoke with Andrews to see what he could share about Jafar’s plans for Cyrus, whether we’ll be getting flashbacks for him, and more…

ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND: Naveen Andrews on Reuniting with Former LOST Writers Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, Plus Creating a New Take on Jafar

ONCE UPON A TIME bosses (and former LOST writers) Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis have often relied on former LOST stars for guest spots (or in the case of Emilie de Ravin, a guest spot-turned-series regular gig), and with their new show, ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND, about to make its debut, they’ve called on a familiar face to be a series regular: Naveen Andrews (Sayid on LOST/Jafar on WONDERLAND)!

“Basically, it was like a ten minute meeting,” Andrews told me of how he got involved with the ONCE spinoff. “They told me they created this character, and they said, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we got someone like Naveen to do it?’ We had worked together on LOST, and they had written one of my favorite episodes in the fifth season where Sayid is made to take LSD with interesting results [in “He’s Our You”]. And I was available, because I think when they first wrote it, I wasn’t.”

“So I went in and they said, ‘We wanted you to do it,'” he continued. “So it was literally ten minutes. Again, I felt very familiar and safe in terms of their writing. From the things they wrote in that fifth season, I knew they were willing to be daring and dangerous. I think we have a similar approach to Jafar in that sense.”

LOST’s Naveen Andrews is coming back to our televisions: the man who played Sayid has been cast in the new ABC series ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND…reuniting him with former LOST writers/OUATIW creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.

The casting news was announced during Saturday’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND panel at Comic-Con — where the pilot presentation was screened — which Andrews joined as a surprise guest.

And if the casting news wasn’t fantastic enough, he’s also playing a very, very, very intriguing character: Jafar, AKA the villain from ALADDIN.

Hmmmm…
