In the series "Ancient", actors well known to the public are Daniel Gillies (Elijah), Joseph Morgan (Klaus) and Claire Holt (Rebecca). In addition to them, the main cast included Charles Michael Davis, Phoebe Tonkin, Danielle Campbell, Danielle Pineda, Yusuf Gatewood, Laa Pipes, Riley Woolkel. At the moment is the second season of the series. In early 2015, the creators announced that there will be a third. The actors ("The Ancients") remain the same, except for Claire Holt, who has only a few episodic appearances in the third season.
Joseph Morgan
Refined and charming Klaus - the most prominent role of Joseph Morgan, however, he went a long way to this peak. At the very beginning, there was acting training at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His career began in 1996, with the role of Matthew Williams in the film “The Silent Witness”.
Then came the roles in the film “Master of the Seas: On the Edge of the Earth”, “Witch”, “Alexander”, “Mr. Loneliness”. In total, there are about 15 films that brought him to fame - the role of Klaus in the series “The Vampire Diaries” in 2011. The contract benefited not only Morgan's professional, but also personal life - in 2014, he married Persia White, who played in the Vampire Diaries by Abby Williams. The actors ("The Ancients" obviously did not cause a couple discord) are still together.
Daniel Gillies
During his career, the 39-year-old Canadian starred in 25 films and TV shows, and, like in the previous case, his star flashed brightest thanks to the role of Elijah in The Vampire Diaries. However, the public noticed him much earlier - in the movie "Spider-Man 2", where he played astronaut John Jameson.
Gillis's father was a pediatrician. The future actor spent his childhood and youth in New Zealand. He has a wife and two children, with whom he has been together since 2004. Gillis, like the actors ("Ancient" fans rated much higher than the "original"), Holt and Morgan, thanks to the sequel, became much more famous and improved his reputation as a professional.
Claire Holt
This girl is the only one of the "Big Three" who is known not only thanks to the "vampires". 27-year-old Claire Holt became a star as a teenager: starring in the teenage series “H 2 O: Just Add Water”. During her career, she has played in 8 films, series and commercials.
However, in 2015, the beautiful blonde leaves the project to, as she said during the PaleyFest festival, visit her homeland (Australia).
Holt, Gillis, and Morgan are actors (The Ancients are still on the screens, which means everyone remembers them), who formed the backbone of the second story about supernatural beings from the Vampire Diaries universe. Although the new characters of the sequel are also good, it’s hard for them to compete with this trio, which has won the love and sympathy of the audience over the past 4 years.
