Entertainment Weekly Interview with TVD David Gallagher

Posted by Jessica on

 Entertainment Weekly spoke to The Vampire Diaries guest star David Gallagher who portrays Ray Sutton who just happens to be a werewolf too.  When asked what Klaus (portrayed by Joseph Morgan) has plans in store for this character, he said:

 “They’re actually hunting for me, so when I finally encounter them, I get swept into Klaus’ master plan that he has developed around Ray. It’s not the friendliest of encounters,” he tells EW. “I think the audience is really gonna eat it up. It really has to do with Klaus’ vision of the future.”

When asked about the first time he audition for the series first pilot he said:

 “There was debate as to whether I was a Stefan or I was a Damon. I had read for both,” he says. “I think ultimately, it was sorta difficult to place me because lately in my career, I’ve been leaning toward things with a little bit darker sensibility [he'd guested as confirmed or suspected killers on Numb3rs, CSI: Miami, Saving Grace, and Without a Trace], and that clashed with the work people knew me for at the time.”

Posted by Jessica on

(I had to take a photo with my phone, but here’s the new episode still)

Entertainment Weekly posted the top 40 television series they can’t wait to see and The Vampire Diaries is in the list. Paul Wesley gave a hint on what to expect from his character Stefan this season:

It’s not until the third episode that brooding Stefan becomes a guilt-free ripper, which Wesley embraces. ”Because Stefan doesn’t have the sarcasm, people assume he’s less of a threat. There’s a lot of hidden darkness people will be pleased and surprised to see,” he says, adding with a laugh, ”I’m kind of sick of always doing the right thing.”

Varon Interview with Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan

Posted by Jessica on

Varon Magazine recently spoken to The Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan on his character Klaus, Twitter, his new movie ‘Immortals‘. Here’s what he had to say about it all:

Joseph Morgan on joining Twitter and finding fake Twitter profiles in his name: “I decided to open a Twitter account, and since I had no followers I texted Nina [Dobrev], who plays Catherine and Elena on the show, and said, ‘Would you mind just putting a tweet out saying this is actually me?’ There were already a couple of impersonators on there pretending to be me… I followed one of these guys for, like, a week and he’d write stuff like, ‘Going to set, really nervous,’ and so on. So that’s part of the reason I joined. And also, his grammar was so bad that I thought I’d do something about this representation of me. Overnight I had 22,000 followers just because of Nina’s tweet and the anticipation of this character.” . (Follow Joseph and JustJared.com on Twitter @JosephMorgan @JaredEng and @JustJared!)

Joseph Morgan on who he drew inspiration from for Klaus on The Vampire Diaries: “Tom Cruise’s Lestat in Interview With The Vampire. Especially for when we were doing the period stuff. It’s the idea that you don’t want to be alone in a room with this guy because he can kiss you or kill you, and it all means the same to him. For the sociopathic nature of the character, I drew on Hannibal Lecter. That kind of playfulness…”

Joseph Morgan on being in Immortals with John Hurt: “We did a table reading before we started filming. John Hurt started reading in his amazing voice and it was like, you know… ‘Many moons ago…’ And I just sort of died inside. It was so amazing.”

On Immortals, out November 11: “I play a character called Lysander, who’s a rival to Henry Cavill’s character, Theseus. When King Hyperion starts attacking our town, we have to escape. There’s a scene in which the Minotaur uses a huge mullet to smash in my genitals and destroy my hopes of reproducing. So this seven foot guy with a huge real mullet is told, ‘Just stop it right before it hits him. Swing it like it’s gonna hit really hard, though’.”
