Ginnifer Goodwin has always identified with Snow White.
Long before she took the role in Once Upon a Time, Goodwin was a big Snow fan. "Honestly, I was always obsessed with Snow White," she recalled. "I know it's the really boring answer given the circumstances, but it's the truth and it was probably for very shallow aesthetic reasons. She was a brunette, I was a brunette. That's the princess to whom I could relate."

Her TV husband Josh Dallas was never much for fairy tales.
"I wasn't really into fairy tales when I was growing up," he admitted. "I was always outside. I was always playing Army or doing something like that, or building some kind of fort. So I didn't ever really read fairy tales." Dallas did go on to say that doing Once Upon a Time has given him a new interest in the genre. And yes, he's been doing his Grimms homework.

It's not easy being charming ALL the time.
But he's doing the best he can! "It's a good burden to bear," Dallas reflected. "Everyone can have a little charming in their lives."
