There's a new captain coming to "Once Upon a Time"!

When season five of the spellbinding drama returns, Storybrooke fans will be introduced to a new ship-loving pirate with a stormy past. Actor Costas Mandylor (known more recently for appearing in the SAW sequels) has been cast to play Captain Silver, ETonline can exclusively reveal.



As of now, details surrounding this mysterious newcomer are being kept locked away in the depths of the sea, but we can share that Captain Silver definitely has some rough-watered history with Killian Jones, aka Captain Hook.

It hasn't been confirmed but speculation has it that Captain Silver is Captain Long John Silver -- the cunning and villainous pirate from the 1883 novel, Treasure Island.



Mandylor will make his swashbuckling debut in an upcoming episode this spring in "Once Upon a Time's" fifth season.
