“‘Supernatural’ alum Sebastian Roche will reprise his ‘Vampire Diaries’ role as Mikael, the patriarch of the Original family, on “The Originals,” EW reports. The character, first introduced in Season 3 of ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ will appear in an episode early in the season.
In other ‘The Originals’ casting news, Roche’s fellow ‘Supernatural’ alum Todd Stashwick is also set to recur in the new CW series (fans of ‘Supernatural’ remember Stashwick’s turn as a Dracula-impersonating shapeshifter during Season 4′s ‘Monster Movie’). Stashwick will play the role of Father Kieran, first appearing in episode 4.”
