August 3rd, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | Vampire Diaries Casting - (4 Comments)

Thanks to Ausiello for the heads up on this casting. Dexter Alum Courtney Ford will be joining The Vampire Diaries cast as Vanessa. We previously mentioned her casting a few weeks back. Here’s some info about the role:

The Vampire Diaries is introducing some fresh blood for Damon.Sources confirm to me exclusively that Courtney Ford — a.k.a. Trinity’s daughter on Dexter — has landed the potentially recurring role of Vanessa, a grad student at Duke who helps Damon, Alaric and Elena go through Isobel’s old research.

At Comic-Con last month, exec producer Kevin Williamson hinted that the character may be harboring a secret or two. “She’s not without her own intrigue,” he told me. “It’ll be a nice little part for someone. And it’s a part that could evolve into this massive storyline or we could gut her like a fish.”

Thanks to the ever reliable Michael Ausiello, we now know who has been cast as Mason Lockwood. Taylor Kinney of Trauma. Here’s the scoop, and the story is developing, so stay tuned for udpates.

Ex-Trauma EMT Taylor Kinney is joining the cast of Vampire Diaries in the recurring role of Mason Lockwood, younger brother of late Mayor Lockwood, sources confirm to me exclusively.Described as Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) “cool” uncle, Mason is sexy and athletic (duh) and possesses an easygoing charm.

Ausiello’s Armchair Casting of Vampire Diaries’ “Mason Lockwood”

June 29th, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | Mason Lockwood - (12 Comments)

Michael Ausiello of EW has an idea of who he thinks Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson should cast as “Mason Lockwood”, Tyler’s uncle. Here’s the description of the role and his choice! NOTE: This is only a suggestion. And thanks to @Shirarose1 for the heads up!

Mason Lockwood: Described as Tyler’s “cool” uncle, Mason is sexy and athletic and possesses an easygoing charm. Though he has more control than his nephew, he can “flip in an instant” if crossed. Seeking Latin or Caucasian actors in their 30s for this recurring role.

Armchair Casting Director suggestion: Skeet Ulrich (if Law & Order: Los Angeles doesn’t snap him up).

Can you see Skeet Ulrich as “Mason Lockwood”? If not, who do you think should play Tyler Lockwood’s sexy, athletic, 30 something uncle? Leave it in the comments!

Vampire Diaries Spoilers – EW Exclusive First Look at David Anders

March 10th, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | David Anders | Promo Pics | Spoilers - (0 Comments)

EW has an exclusive first look at David Anders on The Vampire Diaries. Check it out! And beware below, if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Vampire Diaries execs didn’t have to cut through any bloody red tape to cast David Anders as Elena and Jeremy’s uncle, Jonathan Gilbert. “When we started talking about this role, I immediately thought, ‘What about Sark from Alias?’ executive producer Julie Plec recalls. “We called his agent the next day and the day after that [the deal was] done.”It’s fair to say Anders’ arrival in Mystic Falls will be slightly more complicated. The Alias and Heroes alum makes his debut in the April 15 episode when it comes time for Elena and Jeremy to sell their father’s doctor office. “He has to sign the escrow papers but he isn’t quite ready to give the office up,” explains fellow e.p., Kevin Williamson. “But like everyone else in town, he’s there for something [else]. His intentions are not pure.”

We wouldn’t have it any other way. Would we?

More Vampire Diaries Casting News On Spencer Locke’s Role

March 9th, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | Spencer Locke | Spoilers - (2 Comments)

Well, well. We have quite a bit of buzz about Spencer Locke’s role on The Vampire Diaries floating around on the Internet and Twittersphere since we posted about her casting the other day. So here we go. Both TV Guide Magazine and MTV’s Hollywood Crush has the scoop. Including a new episode title for what I belive will beEpisode 19. Check it out from Hollywood Crush!

Oh, Twitter, what did we used to do in the days before you existed in our lives? Thanks to a Hollywood Crush informant, we came across a juicy tweet from “Big Time Rush” star Spencer Locke today (it was posted March 1) that read: “packing for Atlanta, GA! so excited to be working on Vampire Diaries :) not so prepared for the freezing COLD!what to bring..what to bring..”Spencer has plenty on her plate these days — she recently appeared on “Cougar Town” and will be seen in the upcoming sci-fi horror flick “Resident Evil: Afterlife” — so we just knew whatever was bringing her to Mystic Falls had to be pretty worth it. Here’s what we know so far: A rep for the CW series confirmed to us that Spencer will be featured in an upcoming episode titled “Miss Mystic Falls” and her character’s name is Amber.

From our quick “Vampire Diaries” research, we can’t seem to find a trace of that name in the book series, which means she’s another genius creation from the minds of exec producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. We have a feeling she may be working closely with Malese Jow, who plays feisty vampire Anna, as she tweeted a picture of her and Spencer yesterday along with this note: “Proceed extensive assemblage”! hottest new crew around! Taking over HOTlanta! http://twitpic.com/179x6f.”

Perhaps the episode title suggests they’ll also be a beauty pageant? If that’s the case, then may the best giril win!

Spencer Locke Cast in The Vampire Diaries

March 8th, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | Spencer Locke - (1 Comments)

Yesterday, I stumbled upon a tweet from Spencer Locke that she was heading to Atlanta to be on The Vampire Diaries. And then Malese Jow tweeted this. I’ve searched high and low for any casting news and I haven’t found it yet. Maybe someone can shed some light for me? I might just tweet her and ask her myself. Here’s her IMDB profile and a short bio from TV.com.

At a young age, Spencer Locke already seems to have a bright future. She went to Hollywood with a manager at age 11 and landed her first gig as a guest star on Without a Trace in 2004. Although she is a sweet and cheerful person, she has been known to play sassy popular girls such as Bitsy on Ned’s Defied School Survival Guide and Candita on Phil of the Future. She is probably best known as the former girlfriend of the loveable Jacob Smith. One of her best known roles is that of K-Mart in the film Resident Evil: Extinction. She currently lives in California where she is managed and supported by the Lane Management Talent Agency. Spencer has appeared in the Kidz Bop commercials and is breaking out as a talented young actress that deserves a second thought.

UPDATE: Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we have the following info on Spencer Locke, it appears her role on The Vampire Diaries will be guest starring.

Actress Spencer Locke has been cast in a guest spot on the CW’s “Vampire Diaries.”

Locke will play Amber Bradley, a girl who enters a beauty pageant along with Elena and Caroline.

Locke has appeared in the ABC series “Cougar Town,” the film “Resident Evil: Extinction” and the Nick series “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.”

Vampire Diaries Casting – David Anders Cast As Jonathan Gilbert

February 23rd, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | David Anders - (1 Comments)

Great casting news via Ausiello! David Anders, who just so happened to have played one of my favorite characters from Heroes has been cast to play Jeremy and Elena’s Uncle Jonathan Gilbert.

24’s loss is The Vampire Diaries‘ gain!

David Anders, who (spoiler alert) permanently clocked out of 24 last night, has rebounded with a multi-episode arc on The CW smash, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The Alias and Heroes alum will play Elena and Jeremy’s uncle, Jonathan Gilbert, who comes to Mystic Falls to “cause some trouble,” teases an insider.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because, well, it should. Jonathan Gilbert is the name of Elena and Jeremy’s circa-1800 ancestor. Old school Jonathan debuted via flashback earlier this month as played by Joe Knezevich.

Look for Anders’ present-day Jonathan to turn up in April.

Vampire Diaries Casting – Sterling Sulieman As “Harper”

January 14th, 2010 | Posted by VDO in Casting | Sterling Sulieman - (1 Comments)

Keck’s Exclusives is reporting that Sterling Sulieman has been cast to play a Union Civil War soldier just released from “the crypt”. Check it out!

Come February, Vampire Diaries will reveal that Katherine the Late (Nina Dobrev) isn’t the only entombed vampire someone is trying to release from the Mystic Falls crypt. The popular CW show’s executive producer Julie Plec tells me, “we have a union soldier down there named Harper who we’ll be seeing soon.”

Very soon. All My Children vet Sterling Sulieman will debut as Harper on February 11 and stick around for at least three more episodes. Sterling can also be seen as CTU Agent Tac on this season’s 24.

Sulieman shared his excitement about his new role with his Twitter followers, saying, “Not going to Atlanta till Monday! but I got fitted for my Vampire Eyes. Also got to try on the black ones from true blood. Creepy.”

I’m thinking Harper’s arrival may be especially good news for the bewitching Bonnie, who could use a break from casting spells.
