Once's Merlin, Empire's Own Iggy, Arrow's Darhk Foe and 26 More Homes for Stars of Cancelled Shows

So casting directors and producers, take note, because in this photo gallery we’ve cooked up some new roles for familiar faces from Forever, Hart of Dixie, Cristela, Parenthood, Stalker and other defunct series, on our current fave shows.

We also found the perfect thesps to fill the roles of Once Upon a Time‘s Merlin, Arrow‘s Damien Darhk and Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s new captain. And in the case of Gabriel Mann, we loved his Revenge alter ego so much, we discovered a way to transplant him to another ABC drama!
