New characters got introduced in “Once Upon a Time” Season 4 and Cruella de Vil is one of them. In a recent interview, actress Victoria Smurfit talked about being the villain in the ABC fairy tale drama series.

Smurfit, 41, shared in an Access Hollywood interview that Cruella de Vil’s costume piece in “Once Upon a Time” Season 4 says it all. “It's just got all the drama and the wealth and sort of the character's denial of her ordinariness just built into one extraordinary coat,” Smurfit shared.

The "OUAT" star revealed she received a phone call from her agent telling the news on the role the TV series executive producers want her to portray. The agent initially told Smurfit she will portray a character named “Sasha.”

Smurfit recounted she found out from executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis the character she will really portray in the second half of “Once Upon a Time” Season 4. The actress shared the "OUAT" big bosses finally told her she will be portraying Cruella de Vil and she nearly fell off her seat because she did not get the part when she auditioned for the role of Cruella in a Disney project before.

“I just loved her and to get the opportunity to play her was just crazy,” Smurfit shared. Then the actress talked about the threat Cruella and Ursula (Merrin Dungey) received from Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) in “Once Upon a Time” Season 4, episode 13 titled “Darkness on the Edge of Town.”
