My best man was my best friend of almost 20 years, Matt Ryan. He actually plays John Constantine on the new NBC show 'Constantine,' but we've been friends since we were teenagers.
When you're indestructible, then nothing is a threat really. So nothing needs to be taken that seriously.
There's an actor in the TV show 'Prison Break,' Robert Knepper, who plays a violent sociopath, and he's just incredible in that role.
I thought about how I'd play a vampire for awhile because I grew up watching vampire films and reading books.
'Interview with a Vampire' made vampires sexy.
I just have one brother, younger than me.
There seems to be a feeling we need Klaus to be in 'The Vampire Diaries,' surely and partially because of the Klaus and Caroline dynamic, but many people love the character. They want to see more of the character, but people really have a tendency to fear the unknown.
I listen to a lot of 'Ave Maria.'
I think that it's possible to have someone who is an anti-hero, who does tear hearts out and break necks, and you can still relate to him on a certain level.
I loved working with Mickey Rourke. He's a wonderful kind of crazy.
I wanted to only do one season when I came onto 'Vampire Diaries' because I thought there was only so much to explore.
I've always had an incredible interest in the villains, which are a lot more fun to play.
Vampires are a genre now.
I love 'The Walking Dead.' I'm a massive fan of that show.
I would never assume to tell another actor how to do his job!
If you're working with someone who you get on with and you're supposed to hate them on the screen, then you get this playful challenge thing where you're trying to one-up each other and that's really interesting. Sometimes it can become like tennis. The harder you hit the ball back, then the harder the hit it back to you.
I've always been fascinated with everything behind the camera and in front.
I've done a lot of period drama before. A lot of my jobs have been that.
There were a lot of fan-made trailers for 'The Originals.' The fans sort of decided it could be a show before anyone else did.
We moved to Wales when I was quite young, but we frequently visited the rest of my family, especially my mother's side.
