The protege of Klaus in the Vampire Diaries spin-off pilot for The Originals has now been cast, as revealed by Deadline.
Charles Michael Davis (The Game) has been cast as “Marcel.” Here’s how Deadline describes his character:
Wicked, wild and charismatic, Marcel is a former kicked-around street rat who now calls the shots in the supernatural playground of New Orleans. As a modern-day vampire, he’s fierce and bold, able to accomplish as much with his charm as he is with his strength. Elijah (Gillies), intent on helping his self-destructive brother find redemption, must side with Marcel’s enemies in order to keep Klaus in line.
The Originals will launch as an episode of The Vampire Diaries on April 25. Should it prove successful, it could lead to a series on The CW in Fall 2013.
