It’s going to be a little crowded in Mystic Falls this season, since The Vampire Diaries have announced five new actors joining the cast for season 6.
In case you missed last week’s casting announcements, more and more characters are coming to Mystic Falls! In addition to Gabrielle Walsh and Colin Ferguson we have five new actors to tell you about!
Firstly, a CW show alumni is showing up by the name of Chris Wood. You might have seen Wood in The Carrie Diaries, but in The Vampire Diaries he’ll be playing the recurring role of Kai. Kai is described as the perfect mix of playful and obsessive, and a charmingly unstable newcomer with the unsettling ability to seem normal as the situation demands.
Next up is Hit the Floor actress, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, who will play the role of Jo. Her character is described to be a tough and accomplished doctor at the university hospital. She demands excellence from her students and has learned the hard way that there’s no room for error in her profession. Along with Liam, she will also first be seen in the season 6 premiere, and will likely be Liam’s professor, it seems.
Also joining us is The Client List‘s Marco James, who will be playing a recurring character named Liam, who will first make his appearance in the season premiere. Liam comes from a family of doctors and is described as a cocky yet good-natured med student at Whitmore College.
Next up is Emily C. Chang, most recognizable from her work on Days of Our Lives and Total Recall. Chang has been cast in the role of Ivy, who is described to be sweet and sincere but with a twist, and “the quintessential girl next door with an unexpected wild side.” What supernatural being could she be? It’s possible that the reference to her wild side could be a small hint at werewolf genetics, but that’s just a wild guess.
And last but not least, Jayson Warner Smith has also been cast, and will be in at least two episodes of season 6. His character is unnamed, but will be the owner of a high-end hot rod shop. Could this somehow be Stefan related? We know how he loves his cars!
With all of these new characters we’re excited to see what trouble will be brewing in Mystic Falls this season. Can you guess their roles in the lives of our favorite vampires?
