We’re going back to Canada to talk with actor Jarod Joseph (Once Upon A Time, The 100, The Christmas Checklist), as we dive into his upbringing in Calgary, Alberta. Jarod discusses why Calgary is the “Texas of Canada,” explains his problems in high school and how they sent him on a path to acting, and geeks out about good memories at the Calgary Stampede. Don’t worry, Oncers, we discuss his role of Billy the Mechanic/Gus Gus the Mouse on ABC’s Once Upon A Time too. PLUS: Jarod’s thoughts on Michael Keaton’s return to the role of Batman.
