Nathaniel Buzolic‘s Vampire Diaries character, Kol, may be a little on the unpredictable side, but the actor himself is as nice as they come. He recently invited fans to ask him questions on Facebook, and then took the time to make a video with some of the answers. He answers questions about where he’s from, how it is working on the show and who his favorite movie actor is, as well as sharing a little about his spiritual beliefs.
Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t seen up through Dangerous Liaisons (EP314).
You can follow Nathaniel on twitter at @NateBuzz. He also uses Facebook. Give him a welcome, everybody!
