In addition, the main cast includes Charles Michael Davis, Phoebe Tonkin, Daniel Campbell, Daniella Pineda, Yusuf Gatewood, Lea Pipes, Riley Wolkel. At the moment is the second season of the series. In early 2015, the creators announced that there would be a third. Actors ("Ancient") remain the same, except for Claire Holt, who in the third season only a few episodes.

Joseph Morgan

The refined and charming Klaus is Joseph Morgan's most notable role, but he made a long way to this summit. At the very beginning, there was acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His career began in 1996, with the role of Matthew Williams in the film "The Silent Witness".

Then came the roles in the movie "The Master of the Seas: on the Edge of the Earth", "The Witch", "Alexander", "Mr. Loneliness". In all, about 15 films that led him to fame - the role of Klaus in the series "The Vampire Diaries" in 2011. The contract served not only professional, but also the personal life of Morgan - in 2014 he married Persia White, who played in the "Vampire Diaries" Abby Williams. Actors ("The Ancients" clearly did not cause discord in the pair) are still together.

Daniel Gillis

During his career, the 39-year-old Canadian starred in 25 films and serials, and, as in the previous case, his star was most vividly sparked thanks to Elijah's role in The Vampire Diaries. However, the audience noticed him much earlier - in the movie "Spiderman 2", where he played cosmonaut John Jameson.

Gillis's father was a pediatrician. Childhood and adolescence, the future actor spent in New Zealand. He has a wife and two children with whom he has been together since 2004. Gillies, like the actors ("Ancient" fans appreciated much higher than the "original") Holt and Morgan, thanks to the sequel, became much more famous and improved his reputation as a professional.

Claire Holt

This girl is the only one of the "big three" who is known not only for "vampires". 27-year-old Claire Holt became a star while still a teenager: starring in the teen series "H ₂ O: Just Add Water." During her career she played in 8 films, serials and commercials.

However, in 2015, a beautiful blonde leaves the project, as she reported during the PaleyFest festival, to visit her homeland (Australia).

Holt, Gillis and Morgan are actors (The Ancient Ones are still on the screens, which means they are all remembered), which formed the backbone of the second story of supernatural beings from the Vampire Diaries universe. Although the new characters of the sequel are also good, it's difficult for them to compete with this trio, who won the love and sympathy of the audience for the last 4 years.
