My Vampire Diaries cast (according to the books) part 2
6- Matt Donovan as Chord Overstreet
OK, I don't really like Matt in the show but I love him in the books. Zach Roerig is a good actor to play Matt. He fits the description and plays him well even if the writers messed his character. But I think he misses something important. I always picture Matt as someone really pure, someone "brighter" than Zach Roerig. And I think Chord Overstreet is a good choice for Matt because he fits the description (blue eyes, blond hair) but also could bring purity into this character.
7- Meredith Fell as Emeraude Toubia
Meredith is one of my favourite characters in the books and I'm sad they messed the character so bad in the show. Meredith is supposed to be a Latina around the age of seventeen or eighteen. I think Emeraude Toubia fits Meredith better than Torrey DeVitto because she is younger also she is Latina like Meredith supposed to be contrary to Torrey DeVitto who has Italian's origins.
8- Alaric Saltzman as Brant Daugherty
ALARIC SALTZMAN IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUNG, NOT MIDDLE-AGED. I don't really like his character in the books but I kinda love him on the show (the first four seasons at least). In the Books, he is described as a young man with hazel eyes. Matt Davies is actually great but he is too old so Brant is better.
9- Klaus Mikaelson as Lucky Blue Smith
Klaus is one of my favourite character in TVD but he was too easy to kill in the books. But Joseph Morgan doesn't fit Klaus at all. In the Books, Klaus is described as a blond (almost white) haired man with electric blue eyes which corresponds Lucky Blue Smith more.
10- Tyler Lockwood as Jacob Elordi
I hate Tyler in the books. He's a f*cking rapist. But I like the development of his character in the show. He deserved better than to be killed by Damon. Michael Trevino is a talented actor but when I read the books I can't see him as Tyler contrary to Jacob Elodi. Jacob has brow hair and dark brown eyes like Tyler has in the show/books but he also looks bad (maybe it's just his role in euphoria that make me said that) contrary to Michael Trevino.
