The Vampire Diaries Cast: Where Are They Now?
2. Joseph Morgan
Joseph Morgan made it very easy to hate him when he brought Niklaus 'Klaus' Mikaelson to life on The Vampire Diaries' second season. Little did we know how integral he would go on to become.
After featuring prominently in both the third and fourth seasons, Morgan left the show to headline the spinoff The Originals. He played Klaus for five seasons, carrying on The Vampire Diaries' legacy after it had concluded and paving the way for Legacies to do the same after he too bowed out.
In the show's final year, he wrote, directed, produced and starred in the short film Carousel and, after its conclusion, he played a recurring role on the fourth season of Animal Kingdom before landing a main role in the short-lived TV adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
