The Vampire Diaries character Stefan Salvatore was portrayed by Paul Wesley. Other cast members, particularly the actor who played his on-screen brother, became good friends with him. Paul Wesley’s Stefan Salvatore would undoubtedly come in first place on our list if we were to judge men solely by their hair. Unfortunately, his big brother offers some fairly fierce competition to the swoon-worthy vampire in the beauty stakes. Wesley was a director who worked in the background in addition to playing in the teen drama. In the latter seasons, he received credits for a number of episodes, and he has continued on this career path after TVD. Wesley nearly lost the role because of the way he looked. But when they saw him with co-star Nina Dobrev, the producers had a change of heart.
The Originals and Legacies, two successful spinoff programs that were inspired by The Vampire Diaries, aired for eight seasons on The CW. A fan favorite during the whole duration of the series, Ian Somerhalder played the dapper vampire Damon Salvatore. Somerhalder recalls his time on The Vampire Diaries with nostalgia. He also described his part as the “work of a lifetime” in a recent interview with Today and recalled the moment he discovered how massive the program actually was.
The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off, The Originals, on The CW, feature Joseph Morgan as Niklaus “Klaus” Mikaelson, a British actor and director. The first and oldest vampire-werewolf hybrid in the world is played by Morgan in The Originals. Before taking on the role of the main character in The Originals, he first appeared in The Vampire Diaries as an antagonist. How attractive is Klaus in Joseph Morgan’s film? So hot that we continue to watch the evil original werewolf-vampire hybrid on “The Originals,” a spin-off of “The Vampire Diaries,” each week despite the fact that he has killed some of our favorite characters (Aunt Jenna, hello!). He is not the only Mikaelson family member with hereditary talent, though.
