Roché’s TV resumé also includes stints on 

OMG I’m suddenly excited for this show again!!

I hope Aurora back story means Mulan will be back.

So excited. Adam and Eddie said they are trying to bring back Mulan.

Geez that dude is EVERYWHERE! I’ve loved him since his first stint on GH years ago & it’s fun to see him pop up on all of these other shows I watch. It’s like Where’s Waldo but Where’s Sebastian.

Yes! Love Sebastian Roche. Love that he keeps showing up on all of my favorite shows. I need him and Mark Sheppard to be cast in everything.

I thought Matt was talking about Poseidon once Ernie Hudson was cast. So this episode will be jam pack. I wonder if King Stefan is around in the present day since the flashback seems to be about Ursula. . Or maybe Ursula and Maleficent goes way way back to young adulthood

Does he have “Guest Star on Every Television Show Ever” on his bucket list or something?

Talk about spot-on casting…. Sebastian Roche will perfect as (the modern interpretation of) King Stefan, from “Sleeping Beauty”.
