Sean Maguire - The Sexy Robin Hood, Once Upon a Time TV Series

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.

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.
