Once Upon a Time has jumped back in time during the course of two seasons, with flashbacks to its fairy-tale world to explain the backstories of the Storybrooke characters.
Repped by APA and Untitled Entertainment, McGowan has appeared in Nip/Tuck and 2011's Conan the Barbarian.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Once Upon a Time would be one of the TV shows taking part in next year's PaleyFest.
