About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Colin O’Donoghue who became a household name by playing Captain Hook (aka Killian) on the smash-hit series, Once Upon a Time. The show tells the story of what happens when fairy tale legends and modern life collide. Once Upon a Time instantly became a fan-favorite series, going on for 7 magical season on ABC.

Today, Colin opens up about how his life completely changed once he booked a huge role on Once Upon a Time, why he was surprised when he got the part, that very special first day on set with Robert Carlyle, how new generations keep discovering Once Upon a Time, what working with Jennifer Morrison was like for all of the years together, how moving on from playing Captain Hook was a difficult transition, where he keeps his iconic costume, if Once Upon a Time deserves a revival, if he would jump into a Hook spin-off, his thoughts on that controversial final season of the show, how he tries to move past anxiety and nerves to be present in the moment, how his approach to acting has changed over the years, if any new music may be on the way, the surprising legendary celebrity he found out he is cousins with, and so much more.
