Sean Maguire
Robin
Hood will have a pretty big role on the brand new season of Once Upon a
Time, which is set to begin airing its third season this fall. Tom
Ellis won’t be returning to the series and will instead be replaced by
British actor Sean Maguire. (That make me happy watching Once Upon a
Time in this third season, love him so much :) ). Maguire has mostly
been known for a wide range of roles in British programs, including
EastEnders and Scott & Bailey. The actor has also appeared in
Criminal Minds and The Class. The man’s even dealt with period costumes
before, thanks to the British-American sword and sorcery series Kröd
Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. Maguire starred in that comedy
series as the titular Kröd. His character on Once Upon a Time may not be
totally similar, but will at least be able to rock some of the leather
digs he got into in that series. Robin Hood has a potential to be a
great character and I hope that Sean will do a good job.

Has
anyone already caught Sean Maguire in other film or TV projects? I've
recently seen the first two episodes of "Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming
Sword of Fire" and heard good things about "Songs for Amy", in which he
plays a struggling Irish musician who writes an album for the love of
his life. Sean was born on 18 April 1976 in Ilford, Essex, England. He
made his acting debut at the age of five in Voyage Around My Father with
Sir Laurence Olivier. Many TV roles for UK television followed
including, Tegs in Grange Hill, Aiden Brosnan in Eastenders, Marty in
Dangerfield and Lee in Sunburn (all BBC).
Most
recently Sean played the role of Euan in The WB sitcom, Off Centre. He
currently lives in LA. Sean Maguire is best known for his comical
leading role as "Leonidas" in the spoof comedy, "Meet the Spartans."
Maguire began acting at the age of five in the award-winning television
movie "A Voyage Round My Father," starring Sir Lawrence Olivier. He went
on to gain television fame in the UK, appearing in the hit series
"Grange Hill,"
And
the successful long-running series "EastEnders." His success in
television expanded to the U.S., with starring roles in the television
movie, "Prince Charming," the CBS comedy series "The Class," the WB
comedy "Off Centre" and UPN's "Eve." On stage, Maguire has performed in
Joe Orton's "Loot," "Funny About Love" and "Romeo and Juliet" as Romeo.
He is also a member of the Los Angeles Shakespeare Company, headed by
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Additionally, Maguire is also well known in
the UK for his music career, where he has released three albums. In
2009, he will appear on Rob Thomas' updated version of the ABC Comedy
"Cupid" as an Irish musician, where he will sing professionally for the
first time in the U.S. He also recently wrapped production on "Mr.
Eleven," a two-part original movie for ITV. Maguire stars in the title
role opposite Michelle Ryan.
