Vampire are the in-thing right now. Everywhere you go someone is ranting about the latest vampire related show. This is probably why Vampire Diaries has a loyal following. One that made it necessary to get a spin-off from it called The Originals.
CW Television has already released the first few episodes of the spin-off; The Originals. The series centres around the world’s original vampires: Klaus , Elijah, and Rebekah and is set to keep you glued to your screens.
As entertaining as The Originals is, one thing that makes it worth watching is the fact that a Kenyan actor is set to star in it. Kenyan actor Owiso Odera joins The Orignals cast as Alphonz Bellatunde Delgallo commonly referred to as Papa Tunde , an exceptionally powerful warlock .
