Keeping Klaus Bad

IGN: You’ve mentioned how you really hope your character doesn’t get softened – that he pretty much stays the bad guy.

Morgan: Yeah, I think we’re all on the same page, the writers and the creators of the show. We certainly want to bring in a more human side to him. I feel like the character’s got to evolve, and as the show moves on we’ve got to see more layers to him, more levels and more of his insecurities coming out and things [like that]. But I think to have him hanging out at the Mystic Grill with Jeremy and Matt, and it’s “All is forgiven!”, that’s a little bit of a stretch for me. [Laughs] And I think it would become less interesting. I feel like even with the idea of bringing in a romantic interest for Klaus, I feel like he’s still going to be Klaus. He still has all of this angst and rage and all of these things and this dysfunction, bred from his family. I think it’s more interesting if you add in the humanity on top of that, but he’s still this guy, you know? It’s more of a struggle. Yeah, I really hope that they don’t kind of substitute one for the other, that they just keep adding these things.
