- On Vampire Diaries fandom: Joseph was keen from the beginning to involve the fans; that’s why he read the books and watched the show. He wanted to be faithful to the Klaus of the books and how the character was talked up in the show; he wanted the character to be everything the fans wanted, to be “on the same page” as the fans. He knows some fans get frustrated with his Twitter teases but he thinks that’s in keeping with the character.
- On whether Klaus dwells on the past or is very much a man of the present: Klaus is the kind of guy who bears a grudge; he’s too stubborn and too self-involved not to. Joseph and Daniel Gillies talked about Elijah being “the voice of reason” for Klaus. Since they split 500 years ago after Katherine escaped, Klaus has had no one to bring him back down to earth. He hasn’t learned as much as he would have if Elijah had remained at his side. Klaus embraces the modern world and the future, and he believes he is creating the future.
- On art imitating life: He believes that with any character you play, you bring aspects of yourself to it. Klaus’s playful nature is a reflection of himself, as is his intensity. There are definitely elements of Joseph in there, but on the flip side he has occasionally found himself seeing things through Klaus’s eyes.
- On the key to Klaus’s undoing: Klaus is incredibly smart and he has a wealth of experience to draw upon, and he’s prepared for every eventuality. But Joseph feels Klaus’s undoing will be his arrogance. He really believes he won’t be crossed, that no one is a threat, and he’s too wrapped up in what will happen after the sacrifice. He needs to stay present and in the moment and be aware.
- On The Sun Also Rises (this Thursday’s episode), his first turn as a director on TVD: Everyone was very supportive and patient, and he found that the experience was hard but not as hard as he thought it would be. He was able to see the script earlier than normal and he had time to prepare. It’s the biggest episode they’ve done this year and a lot of story lines will be wrapped up.
- On Season 3: He’s as much in the dark about next season as everyone else. He doesn’t think Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson know either and they’ll be working the story out.
- On Daniel Gillies and Joseph Morgan: Both incredibly committed and gifted actors. The Sun Also Rises will feature them both prominently. Gillies very much understands Elijah. Had a lot of fun working with Joseph on episode 221 in particular and they share a lot of cultural references. They’ve talked a lot about Klaus, his history, and the relationship between Klaus and Elijah.
- Sad, heartbroken, and mad: Fans will be all of the above. Some people are going to be very upset, but “it’s a great ride.” As I Lay Dying will set up a lot of Season 3, but The Sun Also Rises will be the conclusion of a lot of this season’s stories.
- Tuesday, May 3rd @ 9pm ET/6pm PT: Paul M. Sommers (Director of Photography/Director)
- Wednesday, May 4th @ 9pm ET/6pm ET: Gino Anthony Pesi (Maddox)
- Thursday, May 5th @ 9pm ET/6pm ET: Bryton James (Luka)
- Friday, May 6th @ 9pm ET/6pm PT: Candice Accola (Caroline Forbes)
- Friday, May 13th @ 9pm ET/6pm PT: Susan Walters (Carol Lockwood)
- Monday, May 23rd @ 9pm ET/6pm PT: Marguerite MacIntyre (Sheriff Forbes)

Though The VRO’s Vampire Diaries Month kicked off their live interviews tonight with Vampire Diaries’ Director of Photography Paul M. Sommers, hosts Amber and Jess also had an opportunity to do a pre-taped phone interview with Joseph Morgan and they’ve posted the entire conversation on the VRO. A few highlights:
Joseph talks a LOT more over at The VRO. LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH MORGAN AT THE VRO.
As for the Paul M. Sommers interview… Oh, boy. If you thought you were already anxious about The Sun Also Rises (EP221), then you may need a warm bath and a teddy bear to cling to after listening to this. He also gives fantastic insight into filming The Vampire Diaries, both as Director of Photography and as a director, from script changes to working with the actors and the collaborative spirit that infuses the entire production. Oh, and on-set pranks and shenanigans. A few highlights:
It’s really a great hour, so LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW WITH PAUL M. SOMMERS AT THE VRO.

Vampire Diaries Month has returned to The VRO! If you were around last season, you know The VRO packed the entire month of May with TVD cast and crew and guest star interviews – and they’re doing it again! This was an amazing time last year, leading up to and following the Season 1 finale, so we expect nothing less as we head into the last two episodes of Season 2.
Vampire Diaries’ Director of Photography (and director of this week’s episode, The Sun Also Rises) Paul M. Sommers officially kicks things off tomorrow night at 9pm ET/6pm PT. You can listen LIVE at The VRO on BlogTalkRadio. (Be sure to read The VRO’s guide on how to listen.) We have it on good authority that there are more (exciting!) announcements and additions to come but, for now, here is the schedule so far:
Have questions for any of the above? Tweet them to @TheVRO, leave your question on their Facebook, or go to TheVRO.com and leave your question in the comments of the individual interview announcements.
