Another day at the office with the missus. |
I’m famously indifferent to television; consequently, this story is more than two months late, so for the record: The series Once Upon A Time has come to an end, after 150-something episodes.
These factoids matters primarily because the show brought a measure of fame and recognition to a fellow New Albanian, all-around nice guy Josh Dallas, who served as grand marshal during the 2012 Harvest Homecoming parade.
As it turns out, last year’s sixth season of Once Upon A Time was Dallas’s finale, as most of the original cast members had six-year contracts. Let’s hope they get a cut of the residuals from the many hours of “content” the series is destined to become in the years ahead.
My personal favorite Josh Dallas moment came in a movie I’ve never watched: Thor (2011). the actor prepared for the part of Fandral by researching Errol Flynn and watching Flynn’s Hollywood swashbucklers.
Josh and his wife, series co-star Ginny Goodwin, are quality folks. I feel very fortunate to have met them a few years back, and wish them all the best in the future.
