Interview with Dylan Schmid: Once Upon a Time's Baelfire - Page 2

Part of: Once Upon a Time...

You’ve also appeared in another big primetime television series, Fringe, which airs on FOX. Has that aired yet?
Yeah. That's already aired. (“Forced Perspective” aired in January.)

So tell me what a day on the set of Once Upon A Time is like.
It's really fun. Everyone there is really nice. Everything's really prepared. I felt like everyone there knew exactly what they were doing. Everything just worked out perfectly. And it was really, really fun.

"Desperate Souls" was about four days. "The Return" just four days as well? But it was much more intense.

Most of your scenes, at least in the last episode were with Robert Carlyle and then a great scene with Brad Dourif (Lord of the Rings). How was it like working with just like really actors like that, who are at the top of their game?
Well, it was pretty overwhelming at first. I can't really explain how fun it was. It was probably one of the [most fun] things I've ever done.

What was the most fun thing about it?
Probably work one-on-one with Robert Carlyle.

Can you tell us anything about that?
He was just fantastic. Like he's just such a good actor and he knows what he's doing. I mean, there's fun times and there's the serious times and I—because he's such a great actor, it helps me too to learn and to take off of.

Okay. I know he's known as a great improvisational actor and…
Yeah.

Were you able to do a lot of improvising things with him for your scenes?
Yes. Actually, yeah.

I have a question about Rumplestiltskin, since he’s your dad on the show. Do you think he's a bad guy or a good guy?
I think he's kind of in the middle. I think there's something like overtaking him, like some sort of evil that's kind of overtaking him. I think sometimes he sort of realizes...

    they haven't Haley. I promise you. This was Baelfire several years before we first meet him (when Dylan plays him).

    Elizaneth: It is highly unlikely that whoever called you is actually really Dylan Schmid, so please be very careful and don't post your phone number online. I have deleted it from your earlier comment for your protection.
