We had the honor of interviewing Mig Macario (Bashful): '''How did you come to work on Once Upon a Time? Are there any interesting stories from casting?'''

I auditioned for it in Vancouver. I first heard that they were doing a series based on Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. I was relentless with my agent about getting an audition. The auditions were running about an hour behind, I was just so excited to be auditioning for it. And when I met the director Mark Mylod he was so amazing. I auditioned for Dopey, Doc and Bashful. Then he really felt I had the right warmth for Bashful and told me that I should never forget that for him and never have.

When being cast, did you have any idea of the longevity your character would have on the show?

I’ve been acting for about 25 years when it first started. There’s always the hope but never the expectation, you never know. I am always grateful to get the call. I get to see and catch up with everyone. I show up on time and do the best I can. Hopefully I can do that for another 5 seasons.

'''Are you a fan of the show? If so, are you a casual fan or a more serious fan? Do you have any favorite characters?'''

Total fan of the show, I try to live tweet when I can and that’s a lot of fun! I have to admit there are definitely some more serious fans than myself out there, haha! I love all the characters on the show.

'''Do you have a favorite episode or moment? Even including scenes you perhaps weren’t involved in?''' My favorite moment, and I say this in every interview, is in the forest when Charming arrives to see Snow asleep in her coffin. We needed actual snow for that scene and it started falling just at the right time. Then Charming kisses Snow and wakes her up. Magic - that’s why I think it’s always used in the recaps.

'''Do you have any memorable behind the scenes moments? Are there any funny stories to tell?'''

Nothing in particular, just lots of joking around from everyone. It’s always good to go to Steveston and see the great love we get from the fans.

'''Are there any props you’ve been able to keep from the set? If not, what would you love to grab your hands on!'''

I’ve kept my first set of prosthetic ears and nose. It’s been hard finding the right frame for the, so I have them hidden in a safe place.

With Stealthy’s actor (Geoff Gustafan) returning for the latter half of the fifth season, did you get the opportunity to film with him?

Nice try…no spoilers. You’ll have to keep watching and see.

And to finish, the most important question of all, which came first, the dwarf or the egg?

The Dwegg… hehe!
