[@8niidle13]

Totally agree with number one, that was some of the best acting I've ever seen! Some scenes for part 3: Rose's death in 2x12, Rebekah learning the truth about her mother's death from Elena (3x09), Delena fighting over not working together as a couple but being unable to stop loving each other (5x16), Klayley fighting over trusting Jackson (2x12; the part that ends with "I do trust you Hayley" because they switch back from angry to quiet and emotional so fast) and Mikael realizing that Freya is the daughter he thought had died (2x15). Honorable mentions: Anna telling Jeremy that she didn't want to be alone anymore (3x07)

When Caroline thought giving her mum the bite could cure her... no honestly Candace crying or upset as Caroline sold me every time. Every time, it felt like my friend was hurting and there was nothing i could do 👏👏👏👏 not enough praise for her work on that show seriously and she propped up every scene she was in with her reactions in the background! 👏👏👏 and she wasnt even my favourite!!!

She sold the shiiiiit out of her role, and to see her progression in character and how she executed all the different stages of Caroline Forbes was just a beautiful thing to watch. Her scenes were by far the most touching for me, the one where she felt betrayed by Tyler when he hesitated to rescue her, hit so hard for me too. Talented girl, and there’s just something more real and in touch about her acting that I didn’t really get much of with everyone else. Not to say they weren’t all amazing! Now you have me gushing.

@@morganingleson7295 Vincent’s actor was really good because he played two characters and did them both well. All of the Esther actresses were really good too (and with all of her body jumping, there were several lol). But it’s difficult to be one actor having to take on multiple characters or to be different actors and you have to make sure that even though you’re physically different, that you maintain the personality and mannerisms of the one version of that character you’re all playing.

[@РоманАнохин-ь7в]

You can also call Paul Wesley. As for me, the strongest actor of the entire caste.

No one talks about what an incredible actress Kat Graham is !!! She cries in so many episodes as it was so easy!! She makes us feel so deeply with her... Without her, the show would not be the same.

[@SusiBlumentopf]

Sorry for me Kat Graham (Bonnie) was not a good actress, she was crying to much, and her blabbling of the "spells" was ridiculous. If you want to see well done fantasy spells, watch first Lord of the Rings, Buffy or Charmed. These blabble spells in fantasy-Latin in the show had NOTHING in common with practical existing magic and occultism. And even so, Katia or the travelers in the show did it better. Boonies decisions were selfish, black magic, made things worse. She was hungry for power. Kat Graham should not got that important role. I guess she stayed because the producers needed someone of color. And that is a very poor excuse.

[@gamerlover5714]

@@SusiBlumentopf lol she’s a great actress jealous much? Bonnie was never selfish stfu and rewatch that shitty show

[@user-nt9vp8pj7m]

@@SusiBlumentopf First of all: Crying too much isn't Kat's fault. Blame the writer. Each series may have different kind of spells so that isn't her fault too. She was one of the most selfless people on the show tbh. She always put others before herself. She used that black magic to helps others but alr. She wasn't hungry for power. How many times did she die and was in danger because she helped other people? Kat Graham deserved that role and she acted perfectly. The actress herself was treated racist by the producers and some casts too so no I don't think they wanted color

[@SusiBlumentopf]

@@user-nt9vp8pj7m Kat had to play a role written by the writers, true. But how depended on her and the director. Yes in the role was a huge greed for power and black magic. She had been warned by other witches not to do it, and in long term the friends had more problems afterwards then before. The babbling of nonsense-spells had been awful. See Esther, Qetsiyah, the Geminis or the heretics had the same babbling, but more silent and authentic. None of the writers or actors had any idea or experiences about clairvoyance, occultism, shamanism or magic. (The scenes in The Originals were much more authentic, but not Voodoo like done today in New Orleans.) I have seen it in a lot of paranormal or fantasy movies and series done better. So we had the crying to much and the nonsense spells. In all other scenes she did her job, but she wasn't my favorite. The writers with Julie Plec did not give her a good attractive role either (the same for hysterical unmature Elena). How you could make the best out of a very simple tiny role, see: Mason, Klaus, Elijah, Julian, Kai, Rose, Haley, Liz Forbes, Marie-Louise... The success of Ian was because he had brought into his role so much fun, emotions and sex appeal of his own. My opinion: after leaving the show, Damon should have gotten over Elena and come together with Bonnie, like Stefan did with Caroline. He waited for Katherine for 145 years and got over it. Plec just didn't dare to do it. Elena was fooling around with both guys and flirting and dating with others, that had she in common with Katherine. She couldn't even wait more then four months before erasing her memories about Damon - who in hell would ever do this??? Nobody! Bonnie had chosen Enzo only because Damon was not free. My opinion: for human Elena an human average Damon would have never been good enough.

Can you imagine anyone other than Ian Playing Damon, I mean do you know how many actors auditioned for Damon even TVDU’S so called many actors had auditioned for Damon and they only Chose Ian for it, He perfectly portrayed that role.

[@mahamoon1917]

@@shade8569 well thank you for your comment, I don’t know why lan is been so disrespected in these comments?! Damon Salvatore is by far the most complex character in TVDu and portraying a complicated role like that requires huge talents and acting skills , as you said he is famous for his facial expressions , I’ve rarely seen an actor who could change his facial expressions so quickly from one to another, he could manage to show multiple emotions only in a matter of a minute or two , mastering every kind of emotions is hard enough for every actor let alone trying to change from one to another so quickly and makes it believable and most of the time only show it with your eyes and yet Ian does this effortlessly, the way he delivers his lines it’s like they’re coming straight out of his heart .because a good actor doesn’t play the character but actually becomes the character. One of the reason some people can’t get Damon is because he is too complex for an average viewer to understand cause most of the time he doesn’t say what he feels he shows it and for those who are not good at reading body language they miss the points of those scenes . The thing is all the actors in TVDu are great and all of them had moments of skilful actings but because of the complex nature of Damon , Ian had to be his best in every scenes thorough out the whole show, that makes him a phenomenal actor , the character has been written ingeniously so only a genius could play it and he should be praised for that

The scene that Damon admits he misses being human is one of the most complex scene that I’ve ever seen , every thing about it is brilliant! The writing , the acting , the directing, Some people think acting is about who yell harder or scream louder when some one is dying but that’s not real talent The truth is acting is to be able to master a complicated scene like that, that is showing the hidden layers of the character but also at the same time keep it mysterious and open to discussion and that’s why every one has their own analysis about this scene , the scene gives you answer but raise more questions and makes you even more curious that who is really this Damon Salvatore? Showing a battle between light and dark , ever going inner struggle and makes you wonder about humanity and challenge your morality at the same time , the kind of scenes like this that could make you think is rare and they should be considered as a masterpiece and the actor who could manage that scene is one of the kind ,a genius and he should be praised for that

Ian is not a good actor, he is actually terrible at many scenes . The only reason he's famous because of his looks. If he was ugly no one would be talking about him

[@pritigodse-ausekar867]

Leaving out the proverbial argument, Ian has picked the vibe of the character correctly. Problem is Damon's character was changed in unconvincing manner throughout the 8 seasons...

[@ruhul7303]

@@moo9293 so you saying only girls like Damon and not boys? Keep ur fuckin opinion to yourself man

[@Venvaneless]

@@moo9293 I agree partially. He relied heavily on his looks and was being excused for many acting-wise poor scenes because of his handsomeness and natural charisma of Ian. As someone pointed out, Ian caught Damon’s vibe perfectly, at least in the first three seasons. He was the poster bad boy women supposedly are falling for, but this is only possible if you’re that handsome and the writing allows for you to cross moral lines. Damon’s whole charm was him being dark, sexy, mysterious, dangerous, unpredictable, snarky and a perv, but at the same time, being a complex character, who had issues with showing vulnerability, but he did that cause he indeed was vulnerable, at some point admitting when he felt, he felt too much and he thought showing it would make him weak, he didn’t want people to see him being that. The problem with his character is though, that the ways in which he showed all of that, has become dull. His mouth movements and the sound he always made while being cynical, his habit of rising eyebrows while being snarky, his one liners becoming repetitive. It just became boring at some point, he became so obvious, predictable. In some scenes it felt like Ian tried too hard to act or flesh out the “badness”. The scene the original commenter talked about is one of the rare moments his acting was actually on point, but as I said, the first seasons he did fine, which is weird, because with people being bad at acting you see them either stay that way or become better, not the other way around. It also happened to Nina. Her acting was phenomenal throughout the series, but in the last episode, it was cringy too watch. You got a feeling with her she’s tired of that character and doesn’t want to do this. One or more reasons for that being: she came back after being begged and nagged by the producers, she was disappointed she didn’t get any recognition after the series (her show, where she was the main lead got cancelled and the movies she was in were pretty much ignored by the mainstream), so she wanted to make herself relevant again, even if for a short period of time, or wanted to please the fans of the series.

[@We_r_not_strangers]

So I definitely started tearing up on the last one, that’s how you know the acting is amazing

[@D1rtyBubble]

God that first one and I’m crying already 😭😭😭😭😭🥺

[@cassidysaravia]

Does anybody else feel like Katherine’s face at the end was the end of Katerina Petrova and the beginning of Katherine Pierce?

[@rahulr6876]

I saw that too. The actual part starts when Klaus kills all her family.

[@cassidysaravia]

@@rahulr6876 I wasn’t sure which one was truly the beginning of Katherine but I bet you losing Nadia was a major part in it.

[@anthonysowell5806]

Watching some of these scenes made me cry so good

[@alyannabanana6322]

Joseph Morgan literally carried Klaus. His acting>> anything else

[@youdontknow7853]

Damon apologising to his mom in season 7 is one the best acting moments in TVD but not many talk about it!

[@mahamoon1917]

Finally someone said it ! It was undeniably realistic and the acting was beyond this world!! Ian is a very underrated actor 😔

[@daamm5460]

Lol where is the scene of Elena crying when Damon dies . To be honest that was one of the most emotional scene in the whole show for me

[@raymayfair5684]

Nina in the last clip is so good it gets me crying

[@hali_55]

The fact that all of these scenes should be here and that I can think of multiple other ones that also deserve to be in this list just proves how good these two shows were. They don’t make em like this anymore

[@0fficialdj]

Joseph Morgan acting is so perfect

[@savannah2584]

That Elena breakdown scene gets me every time.

[@romesabilal1536]

The breakdown of every single character in this series was painful whether it was Damon or Stefan Bonnie or Caroline kol or Klaus Rebekah or Enzo or Elijah even Katherine Alaric or Kai they all were so painful that it shows how great actors they all are seriously

[@mikemckenzie3175]

Klaus was the best character from either show his range is unbelievable. Freya had a lot of well acted scenes as well

[@jamiedelashaw1197]

They definitely got this one right. They are all amazing actors.

[@rishylfernandes]

they chose such amazing actors. my god !!!! everyone is so damn talented. ✨🤧🥺

[@NelDiamond]

When Bonnie fake died at the decade dance fighting AlariKlaus. The look (and the blood) on her face when she turns around and looks at Elena 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #epic

[@5szr]

any scene with elena and katherine should be in here for sure. nina made katherine literally look like a completely different person from elena. thats some top tier acting.

[@SusiBlumentopf]

And being Amara, also totally different.

[@HHdanish]

I know you guys might hate elena. Some dont some might. But you cant deny the talent nina hold acting in this series. She just the best ✨

[@AseBonani]

I absolutelu agree. Elena's breakdown was one of the most brilliant acting in TVDU... Nina is just amazing. I am bummed though that there's nothing from Katherine.

[@tamarapresley]

Claire Holt is just sooo.. *chef's kiss*

[@telletubby8070]

Like the story, don't like the story. Like the characters, don't like the characters. But we can all agree that this franchise has one of the best actors and actresses playing their part flawlessly. Even little Hope and teenage Hope acting was so on point.

[@haleyegner2072]

Joseph, Nina, and Claire are definitely the best actors

[@lorellabanozzitubic3701]

Their acting is pure perfection.

[@beatrizjardim8308]

I loved the video. And the scenes were really amaizing.

[@haydenscholze7452]

Honestly I think the best performance for me was number 8. Even though there was little backstory and character exploration I found it to be the most beautiful and the most tragic. Just imaging it from the characters point of view. The amount of emotions and depth to the conversation. The history of the two. The scene wasn’t a massive emotional display but it spoke far more volumes of the characters emotions and point of view than the other scenes. It was also a true Tragedy Aya faced and the realisation Elijah had over what he had truly done to her and how it affected her and him in the end.

[@ibrahimalmassri9279]

Bonnies psychic blast “enzos death”

[@justindixon1586]

Agreed

[@nightrosette8587]

11:20 The look in Elijah’s face… maybe it is just me, but i am sure he feels the realisation that Klaus is jealous of him and truly wants his daughter to love him, which he obviously does. And throughout that whole scene… the shock and regret that this was the one time klaus was actually trying… the irony

[@emmanuelosamor2046]

Personally, I think scene when Stefan was compelled by Klaus was the best performance... It was just an epic performance

[@ghost-bison]

Michael Malarkey's acting, especially with his eyes, always blew my mind. It didn't feel like acting, it felt real

[@berendamonsomerhalder1434]

When damon says "I'm not human and i miss it" The was best of all time! You missed it

[@dejones803]

The acting in TVD and The Originals was peak TV acting. I got chills watching those shows when the actors actually started showing their acting range

Theres no one else that can play klaus except Joseph Morgan ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 10:50 “TURN IT OFFF!

[@aniketgupta7377]

Joseph Morgan as not so crying is the best acts he ever does

[@mellybee2285]

Rebekah was right… no one would sit around and tell stories about a man who couldn’t love. That’s how much Hope changed Klaus, because in the end, right before he died, that’s exactly what they did. He learned to love.

okay most people would disagree but when Matt is crying in his car about jeremy dying kind of broke my heart.

[@michellematthews8312]

Agreed

[@archiethepup2459]

The last scene hurt me. It scares me to think about death and Nina shows how much it hurts. She is a great actor and she really showed the pain Elena was going through in that moment.

Witch Kols monologue and Elijah getting his memories back shoulda been here 😭😭

[@justaphase]

Phenomenal performances!

[@charlie12272]

Finns death. The way he begged his family to stay by his side, one time was epic! ❤️

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

For me it’s Klaus and Hayley’s fight in season 3.

[@smarthydra061]

What about when Elijah gets his memories back? Or when Damon is with his mother in the phoenix stone? When Freya breaks the link between Davina and the world of the living (3x21) or when Davina is at the harvest ritual (1x05). Cami's death (both of them) There are so many great acting scenes!
