Look for Nikita‘s Noah Bean to appear on Once Upon a Time, where he has landed a “stable gig”!

TV Line reports today that Noah Bean, who recurs as Ryan on Nikita, will play:

A handsome stable boy in Fairytale Land who tends to horses at the royal manor. He’s a young romantic who believes that love can make anything possible, even breaking through the barriers of his social station.

This will most likely be during the episode 1×18 ‘Stable Boy’, where we will also meet Regina’s mother (to be played by Barbara Hershey). It sounds like he may have a romance with Regina, but that’s all speculation at this point.
