And the TCA Press Tour interviews continue. Christina Radish ofCollider talked to Joseph Morgan about some of the thought he’s put into his portrayal of Klaus. On his attitude toward backstory:“There’s a certain amount that’s developed for you, through the flashbacks, and then you fill in some of the gaps. I tend not to make up too many solid events that he’s been through because then that informs what I’m playing, and then that’s redefined by the writers anyway. When I joined the show, I didn’t know that Stefan and Klaus had a history together. . . . So, it’s useful, to a certain extent, to make backstory and think about that, but to create anything that’s too solid is detrimental, when you’re playing things, later on.”
And on the appeal of vampires:
“I think there’s something that people can relate to, especially teenagers, with the idea of someone who has an older, dark secret and is struggling with something inside themselves and to be accepted because there’s a part of themselves that they’re ashamed of, and yet they really would just like to be like everybody else. I think that’s something that’s instantly relatable to teenagers.”
Joseph also discusses his move to Atlanta, his favorite thing about Klaus, the show on which he’d like to guest star, and much more.
Vlada Gelman of TVLine also interviewed Joseph about Klaus’s love interest, family dynamics, and more. On his brothers:
“What’s wonderful about that is that the writers have really worked to make these two guys individual. It’s not just like there are these two badasses, and they’re both the same and you can’t tell them apart. They really have distinct personalities, just like Elijah and Klaus are very different. … You can’t say Kol is ‘kind of like Damon’ or Kol is ‘kind of like’ that. They’re really not. They’re on their own, and they have distinct motives and relationships.”
