Once Upon a Time has found itself a new Gaston! This handsome suitor who tries to steal Belle’s heart will be played by non-other than True Blood alumni Wes Brown. 

Brown is known for his acting talents on CW’s 90210, Hart of Dixie, Private Practice and the NBC short-lived series Deception.

Brown has been cast for at least one upcoming episode of Once. Before Brown’s adaptation, actor Sage Brocklebank once took on the role of “Sir Gaston” in Season One.

Gaston’s storyline will take viewers back to Belle’s time before meeting Rumple and furthering the Beauty and The Beast tale a bit more for Once viewers.

Exactly which episode will feature Brown or on what date it will air has not let been determined, but we DO know that Once Upon A Time will return on Sunday, March 6th on ABC.
