Is it just me or is the Chief from Cuckoo's nest in this?


In an early season 1 episode and in season 4 when they go to the basement of the hospital where the cells are there is a guy mopping the floor who looks just like him.

Nope the actor who played Chief passed away a long time ago.

You completely and utterly misunderstood what I meant. I wasn't talking about the actor who played Chief Bromden. There is a guy in the mental ward in the hospital who looks exactly like Chief Bromden from one Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. As in that character is in Once Upon a time. Wish I could provide a video link but I can't even remember the exact episode he appeared in. Whenever in the first season that you see Belle for the first time you see a guy looking exactly like him holding a mop. He's only in that one scene and in another scene in a later season when Regina's sister gets put in there.

He is... the custodian and nurse in the basement are an homage to Cuckoo.

That's cool.
