A reporter from the New York Times Syndicate recently caught up with Nina Dobrev by phone from the set in Atlanta. She had some nice things to say about the show’s passionate fans, and also spoke about the challenges inherent in playing both Elena and Katherine:
“So it’s been more about learning to manage time and learning when to let go. I’m a perfectionist, I put 110 percent into everything. Trying to do that for two characters, I’ve been putting in 220 percent. It’s been a lot of work, but really cool. It confused me sometimes, early on, and I learned, when you’re doing something like this 10 months a year for possibly six years, you have to preserve your energy. I feel like it’s been acting boot camp. I’ve done everything on this show, a lot of things many actors don’t get to do throughout their whole career. So there’s nothing I can’t do or achieve after this.”

Assignment X talked to Paul Wesley (seems the interview happened at Comic Con?) about his experiences playing Stefan and other paranormal characters. On acting in genre projects as opposed to realistic drama:
“I think it’s really more about the human condition and you’re basing it in reality. Regardless of what the circumstances are, you need to base that in reality. You need to be a human being on Earth experiencing this. If you look at it as, ‘Oh, this is just a fantasy,’ then you’re not bringing true emotion to it. You can’t look at it in a biased way, you have to sort of objectify the whole thing.”

Entertainment Weekly‘s Spoiler Room chats with Paul Wesley about whose soft side you shouldn’t expect to see in the latter half of Vampire Diaries Season 3 – and he’s not talking about Stefan:
“I don’t think Klaus is in any danger of ever becoming a good guy,” he tells EW. He will either stick around as a villain for quite a while or he’ll be sent out with a big bang. I don’t think we’ll ever convert Klaus into like one of the guys in Mystic Falls who works at the Mystic Grill flipping burgers. That would be a big mistake.”

It’s that time of year again – the holidays are upon us and there are a lot of great causes out there that could use some support. We all know how active The Vampire Diaries cast is when it comes to good works, and it looks like they (along with their fellow CW actors) are getting some network support so fans can know which causes their favorites support. From the press release:
December 7, 2011 (Burbank, CA) – The CW has launched Causes to Care About, an online destination where viewers can learn more about the charities embraced by the stars of their favorite CW shows, and donate to their favorite causes this holiday season.
Fans can go to causes.cwtv.com to find videos from stars of many of The CW’s primetime shows, in which each actor talks about why their chosen charity is one close to their heart. The site will also link to each actor’s chosen charity, so fans can easily donate directly to them.
Check out all the participating actors and their causes here at the CW.
Speaking of ISF, Ian Somerhalder’s birthday is tomorrow, and he’d like to share his birthday wish with all of you.
