JOSH DALLAS CASTS A SPELL ON ONCE UPON A TIME
"It's like winning the lottery," he says, then adds with a droll laugh, "It's better to be on a hit show than one that's not. What's so great about Once Upon a Time is that it's a show about simplicity and meaning in life. It's not cynical about love... And what that does is create these big emotional scenes. For me, those are the greatest scenes to play, because they're real."
