Joseph Morgan on THE ORIGINALS Pranks & Being America's Favorite Villain!

YH is at the W Union Square in New York City kicking back VIP-style with "The Originals" star Joseph Morgan, who gives us the scoop on what to expect from the remainder of Season 2 of the CW's hit supernatural drama! He tells us how his life has changed since taking on the "Vampire Diaries" spin-off, shares some on-set shenanigans between him and Daniel Gillies, and he discusses what it's like being named America's Favorite Villain!

[@JennaIce]

He is probably my favorite actor. Dare I say, of all time. He is so sexy. His accent turns me to mush. And his character has so much depth. I love him. Hope to see him more in other movies as well. I only watch Originals for him!

[@Kyle_Outside]

You know, Joseph grew up just a stones throw from my house. We have the same accent. Just saying.

He is so talkative and so ambitious and excited when telling stories, i love thattt

[@rebeccalynn3514]

There something special about Joseph he seems like a vampire on and off set there's just something really nostalgic about him like as if he was from another era

[@nassi9955]

Absolutely 😊

[@shanatakoor7986]

Awww the way he described the best moment of his wedding :-)

[@darrels3319]

My favorite episode through both seasons is when klaus fights Marcells men and he goes into wolf mode a stuff

[@whoscarednotme]

Actually he never fully went into wolf mode which pissed me off

[@user-jo8yb4uf7e]

@@whoscarednotme he did, but they show that only after he turned back to human, woke up in the forest and elijah is there with him (and he made him put on clothes so we couldn't see him shirtless for much time😒) But he did turn into a werewolf

[@whoscarednotme]

@@user-jo8yb4uf7e that was in the vampire diaries...in the originals he not once turned into a wolf.. because if he would have he would of been able to get out of fucked up situations

[@ehehehhehehe9228]

[@sayalidesai2932]

He's accent, and his voice is so different. I just love the way he deliver the dialogues. He is too good as Klaus.

[@Areumeor]

My favorite Klaus sayings on Vampirw Diaries "Rebekaaaa" "Rippa" "Hello Luv"😂😂😂

[@Water_melon147]

Morgan's energy and enthusiast, I love it! Such a positive vibe

[@alyscloset]

I really hope to see him in big films or big independent films after The Originals. I only started watching it on Netflix and finished season 1. He makes me watch the show.

[@prettylady4388]

Omg his accent 😍😍😍😍

[@yenisleyyyy1586]

I don't see him as any other person than klaus

[@ayeshahaffejee8623]

Wow he is so cool and he's smile is just so cute I love him so much the words don't even come out of my mouth that's how much I love him.

[@ejemima]

On the topic of Joseph and Daniel's friendship, have you seen the episode promotions Joseph has put up for every episode this season? They're hilarious :D

[@Rouzmary]

+ejemima Where can you see those?

[@ejemima]

I follow Joseph on twitter, he puts them up there whenever he's made a video :) So follow him on either twitter or instagram :)

[@Rouzmary]

ejemima ok, thanx!

[@giuliapegazzano9665]

Haha yes he's been doing more and more promos, his instagram is full of videos of him and Daniel promoting TO, the videos are really funny

[@kgrimes842]

I still watch those on KZbin! May be old but still hilarious

[@torib.5949]

I love the Originals, but I do wish they could combine the show's story lines more often with TVD. Not ALL the time, but more than once a season would be nice. Idk why, it just feels cool when you remember they are all in the same universe. =]

[@hakkgurl]

Eww no. TVD is so cliche and that storyline gets boring real quick.

[@torib.5949]

lol it's the same writers. TO is new, it's only a matter of time until it's seasons become just as "cliche" and boring.

[@elkar6739]

+Tori B. NO NO NO sorry but tvd is a waste now. The originals is a whole other story. İt's jazz, culture, autority, leadership, everything and plus non-romantic (not like a vomiting romantism) vampire-werewolf story.

[@torib.5949]

el kar It's Drama, just like TVD. The only difference is it's not ALL romantic drama. Although the crap between Elijah/Haley/Jackson I guess would be classified as romantic drama. But, I mean it follows a constant pattern. It's Klaus constantly having trust issues and getting irritated about his family "betraying him" even though he is just as guilty when it comes to hurting them. It's Davina being mad at everyone all the time and holding herself on a pedestal - similar to Bonnie in the first few seasons of TVD (although for Bonnie it was morality and for Davina it's power). It has the same amount of people dying and coming back from the dead. The Originals also follows TVD in the way that: TVD was all about protecting Elena and everything Elena. TO is about protecting Hope and everything Hope. Same writers, same patterns. Now, don't get me wrong. I LIKE the Originals. I liked TVD, therefor I like the Originals. Both great shows. But, I'm just saying, there's only so many seasons of fresh stuff before it starts following the same down-hill-struggle as TVD. Also, I'm not sure what Jazz and culture have to do with any part of the show, but whatever floats your boat. lol

[@JennaIce]

+Tori B. I agree!

[@zinesfiery]

he's so witty and intelligent! I love him so much!
