Longmire actress Cassidy Freeman discusses her brief stint as Sage on The Vampire Diaries, and how she felt about being killed off.

Speaking to Assignment X, Freeman reveals that she always knew her character was going to die:

Actually I knew from the beginning. They had this character they really wanted to put in from the stories. They asked me to do it and I was so honored, and I wanted to do it because I know a lot of the creators and producers on the show. So I told them I would love to do it, and they told me it would only be for three episodes because Longmire wanted to make sure I was available when they needed me. So it was a scheduling thing. I thought that was OK, I die well. I enjoy dying.

She also talks about the boxing scene in the 1920s flashback:

It was an entire day of me boxing in a onsie, in 1912, with a wig on, and taking all their hits. I got hit a lot. I had muscles in my neck that I didn’t know I had that were sore the next day.

Do you wish we could have seen more of Sage?
