Character Bio
Clever, observant, and wise beyond his years, something about Henry has always seemed special. Abandoned at birth by one mother and adopted by another who was largely distant, one could hardly blame him for escaping to the fantasy world of his storybook. Of course, when he actually started to believe the fairytales were real, it would be just as hard to blame someone for thinking he was a bit delusional. That didn’t deter Henry, though. As brave as he is determined, he would go to any length to bring an end to the curse—even if it meant sacrificing himself with a poisoned apple. Now that the curse is broken, though, things did not quite have the storybook ending Henry expected. Torn between two different families, Henry may be the only thing that stands between the enraged people of Storybrooke and his adopted mother, Regina.

 

Jared Gilmore on playing Henry:

"I feel that Henry's innocent imagination is the 'key' that unlocks the door between the two worlds. Reality and Fairytale. The book is just a another story to anyone else who reads it, but Henry believes it.

I relate to Henry because I'm 11 and also have a very good imagination. I enjoy making up and playing games in worlds with alternate realities myself."

Actor Bio

Jared Gilmore has his twin sister, Taylor, to thank for his introduction to acting. Taylor enjoyed modeling and acting and put on shows for the family. Their parents decided to find an agent for Taylor and brought Jared along for the ride. When they met the agents, it turned out they were interested not only in Taylor but Jared as well. Many auditions soon followed.

As fate would have it, Taylor came to the realization that she liked riding horses more than acting and decided to quit the business. But Jared continued his quest, landing his first job modeling t-shirts and doing commercials. This led to roles in both television and film. He recurred in the series Mad Men as Don Draper's son, Bobby, as well as in Hawthorne and Talkshow with Spike Feresten, and guest starred on Men of a Certain Age, Roommates, Without a Trace and Passions. On the big screen he starred in A Nanny for Christmas, The Back-Up Plan, with Jennifer Lopez, Opposite Day and Overnight.

In his spare time, Gilmore likes playing Xbox and computer games with his friends. He has two dogs, Cooper and Emma, a cat named Tiger and a rabbit named Benjalina.
