It appears that followers of 'The Vampire Diaries' have definitely got their wish as British actor Joseph Morgan has been selected to play the role of Klaus- the evilest of the show's vampire roster. Morgan will make his first appearance on the hit show during the April 21st episode, and even though it may seem a very far-off event at the time, it really is not.
After next week's episode, the show will go on break and will carry on April 7. But not everybody got their wish with Morgan's casting on the show. Daniel Gillies, who has been doing an creditable job in the role of Klaus' wicked archenemy Elijah, wanted to be paired withaccompany an actor like Deadwood's Ian McShane.
The Vampire Diaries' administrative producer Kevin Williamson's information turned out to be accurate, as he had been hinting for quite some time that a fresh, young face will be casted for the portrayal of Klaus' character. In December 2010, Williamson's tease was also echoed by the other executive Julie Plec, who had also made public that at least a few hundred actors had auditioned for the part. Plec had said that the chance of an unknown face is what excites the production team the most, as it gives them a number of new possibilities to exploit Klaus' charm and gravitas. According to Williamson, Klaus' capability to instil fear in his co-characters and the crowd will be the most significant trait of his personality.
Morgan has TV shows 'Doc Martin' and 'Hex,' also movies 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World' and 'Alexander' to his credit. He also played the lead character in last year's miniseries 'Ben Hur.' His depiction in 2008's 'Mansfield Park' suggests that he is more than able of playing the Old world characters. Fans would definitely want him to play the role a bit reclusively, which will go well with the traditional snarky attitude of Klaus. With production work on new episodes set to start in a short while, let's hope the contrasting nature of Klaus and Elijah would bring the best out of both of them.
