What’s better than a Daniel Gillies Q&A? Being able to hear the words straight from the man’s mouth, that’s what. Huge thanks to The TV Addict for recording the session and be sure to read more over at their website. Watch the video below or watch on YouTube.

Taking a few minutes to chat with press, Daniel shared what he thinks is the reason behind Elijah’s blood-abstinence, what is really going on with Elijah and Elena in those smoldering scenes, and what else he just brings to the increasingly complex role. Daniel also gives some reflective comments on the Original siblings: Klaus, Finn, Kol and Rebekah, and the relationships that Elijah has with each – and what he really thinks of Stefan and Damon.

    OH!OH!  His so “fINE”

    I wonder who is currently stalking our heroes from the shadows.

    My suspects are Tyler, Katherine or Kol love Elijah

    When he takes his hat off around 00:53, I lost my ability to breathe….I was so distracted by his spiky hair through out the video…I will have to re watch it again and hear properly this time.

    I can describe how much I love this guy!

  • Yessy

     I agree with Daniel that Elijah represents a classical idea of a vampire! The way he talks, moves and behaves in general.. and he always wears a suit.. That’s exactly why I love ELijah so much!

  • DJ

    My oh my! Didn’t he look stunning! Daniel looked so comfortable, it was a really good interview, good questions …. and answers.

    ooh i haven’t obsessed over character since elena. I LOOOOOOVE HIM.

  • BAND

    GREAT INTERVIEW!!! My love for Elijah knows no bounds.

  • Charlotte

    Eijah is the BEST example of what a vampire should be.  Love all the vampires.  But, with Elijah there is just something so special.  Love him and please please please make him a series regular.

    OMG! he is so cute and handsome I wish I can meet him. Lol

    But I admire his talent as a actor love how he works as the Elijah character. But love the Salvatore brothers..

    WHO doesn’t want a spin-off after this?!!!!! There are endless possibilities of stories even I with my rather unimaginative mind can think of! Vampire Diaries meets Breaking Bad? What if they have storage of some ancient drug which they sell in NYC and become sort of this weird Mafia with thousands of years of experience and nothing the cartel has ever seen….. and the story goes I’d love that! Breaking Bad is probably my favorite show, but an ‘adult’ version of The Vampire Diaries would be serious competition. To hell with durgs and mafias what about Politics? We could also have flashbacks to different periods of history. Make it all more of a psychological thriller. Add aliens, zombies, elves and Daenerys Targaryen to that. We could also have an annual Hunger Games. Like I said. Endless possibilities. 

    FYI: I’m totally serious. Stop laughing.

    I also wanted to add that the Original cast members understand their characters much better than our main trio does. It’s always a treat reading/watching Daniel Gillies’s or Jo Mo’s interviews.

     I think the right word here is again “OMG”. I always liked Elijah a lot and now I know why: Daniel Gillies is awesome.
    What definitely striked me was his voice or to be more exact his accent. I´m not American but for my ears he talks completely different when he is in character. I love his voice, his Eliljha voice but his real voice too.
    I was surprised by this video for another reason: Elijah is such an old school type of man, always wearing suits, totally in control, a very zen vampire. Daniel on the other side is so naturally handsome with his casual wear and his deranged hair, I clearly began smoldering when he took off his cap.
    And I love the way he explains things, he is so smart and talks so educatedly.
    It was my first Daniel interview and I must say he is a strong competitor in my adoration for Ian Somerhalder ;)

    I’m not sure what I will miss more: Daniel Gillies as Elijah on screen, or hearing him speak about his character. His command of the English language is magnificent and he has such a deep understanding of the human condition

    I like the way he spoke in that interview. He seems to be very reflected and really put thought to his answers. It was a bit hard to follow once in a while but I enjoyed that he didn´t give the prebuilt answers actors normally give in interviews.
    Btw how could an “adult” spin off version look like??

    He probably meant without damon/elena/stefan crap;)

    I was watching another interview with Daniel when I came across these Elijah videos on youtube that I just had to share. I thought they were awesome! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

    There is only one person in the world who wears a suit better than Elijah… BARNEY STINSON;)
