There's a new Henry [2] on Once Upon a Time [3], and it has us feeling a lot of emotions. While we're certainly going to miss seeing Jared Gilmore and the rest of the original cast [4] in the rebooted season seven [5], we have to admit his replacement is pretty easy on the eyes. Andrew J. West may be new to the OUAT family [6], but this certainly isn't his first big TV show. Aside from being a well-seasoned actor, the 33-year-old is just as charming off screen (see what we did there?). Get to know all you can about the fairy-tale show's latest heartthrob.
There's a Reason He Looks So Familiar
There are several places you might recognize Andrew from. The actor is best-known for his roles on Greek and The Walking Dead [8], but he also had a spot on Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz's short-lived horror show [9] Dead of Summer.
He Didn't Originally Study Acting in College
While he was interested in acting at an early age, it wasn't actually his first choice for a major. During his time at Indiana University, he studied anthropology and philosophy [10] before switching over to the theater department.
He Fell For His Costar
While starring on Greek, Andrew developed a relationship with his onscreen love interest Amber Stevens. Even though the show ended in 2011, their romance carried on and they eventually tied the knot [11] at an Italian-style villa in December 2014.

He's Obsessed With Baseball
During an interview with Buzzfeed, Andrew couldn't say enough about the LA Dodgers [13]. He also admitted that Opening Day is his favorite day of the year.
Unlike Hook, He Prefers Bourbon Over Rum
Andrew said his go-to drink in a bar is bourbon [14] or rye, adding that "Elijah Craig is a perennial favorite."
He Already Has an Adorable Bromance With Colin O'Donoghue
The onscreen stepfather-son duo (who are only three years apart in age) shared a number of adorable moments together at Comic-Con, and we couldn't get enough. In fact, he's already approved the name for their bromance [15] — "O'Donowest."
