Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time has found a father for Benjamin Stockham.

As previously reported, that young actor will appear on Episode 17 of Once Upon a Time Season 2, coming on board as a boy who puts on a strong front but whom in reality, really misses his late mother.

And now Entertainment Weekly confirms that John Pyper-Ferguson has signed on for that same installment. He will portray Ben, a “widower who wants nothing more than to help his young son heal."

Who might these characters represent from fairytale lore? Take your best guess now.

Pyper-Ferguson, meanwhile, has appeared on Brothers & Sisters and Caprica and recently completed an arc as Stanton Parish on Syfy's Alphas.
