Michael Trevino on 'The Vampire Diaries' and 5 Other Latino Bloodsuckers We Love!

Michael Trevino, The Vampire Diaries

In season three of the CW’s hit series, The Vampire Diaries, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) turned Tyler Lockwood (Mexican actor Michael Trevino) into his first successful werewolf/vampire hybrid. Trevino recently told us why that's both a good and a bad thing for his character. "Tyler isn't bound by the moon anymore—he doesn't have the curse of the moon and he doesn't need to change into a werewolf unless he wants to,” he said. “But he's also got new supernatural powers! He can compel people now like vampires do. He's got this vamp speed and he can feed on people's blood. So it's these little things that once they're available to you, you're going to indulge.”
