This week, Tommy is joined by Claire Holt, internationally known for playing Rebekah Mikaelson in The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Legacies. The Vampire Diaries is the longest-running vampire series ever and Claire quickly became a fan-favorite character. Claire opens up about why she almost didn’t show up to her audition, how her character went from being originally a 3-episode guest star to a huge part of the franchise, taking pride in creating a safe corner of the internet for her fans to share their personal experiences through her new website, the challenges she’s faced in parenting, how she hopes to inspire open dialogue among other parents, if she thinks her cast will all reunite for a project in the future, and if she will ever show her kids her work in The Vampire Diaries when they’re older.
