TV Guide’s short chat with Julie Plec, Michael’s workout revealed
EW‘s Mandi Bierly chatted to Michael yesterday afternoon. They talk about Tyler’s recent transformation (BIG spoiler warning for the ones who haven’t seen episode 11 yet!), co-star Candice Accola, Jules a.k.a. latest Mystic Falls inhabitant and the Salvatore brothers. Trevino teases he’s shooting some scenes with those two as well as Damon’s bathtub scene. We got your attention? You can find a quote below and visit Inside TV for the entire story.
You were also excited the last time we talked because Tyler finally got a badass leather jacket to wear instead of a sweater. How is it treating you?
I will tell you right now, the episode that we’re shooting now is me in the leather jacket, and I love it. [Laughs] In this episode we’re filming right now, the good part of that episode for Tyler is scenes with me and Paul Wesley. Stefan and Tyler talk about Caroline. I’m excited to shoot that because it’s just me and Paul and a different scenario. I haven’t really worked with Paul yet, and to have a nice scene with a lot of dialogue, and it’s just me and him, and it’s not about actions and stunts, it’s just about good acting with the awesome writing of Brian Young, who did this episode, I’m looking forward to that.

The Hub - Australia - part 4
Michael Trevino’s panel:
Q: Do you like Melbourne or Sydney better?
M: I need to check out Melbourne more. I was in Sydney for a couple of days.
Q: What’s your favourite mythical creature?
M: Lycans from Underworld are interesting.
Q: Who do you go for in the World Cup?
M: At first I went for Mexico and America. Didn’t turn out well. The Argentina vs Germany match was good. I’m gonna go with Spain.
Q: Are there a lot of script chances in The Vampire Diaries?
M: Lots of revision. We get ideas about the main story. Script’s totally different. Gotta roll with it. Changes from day to day.
Q: What’s your nationality?
M: Mexican. I get “Italian” a lot.
Q: Do you know how Tyler’s character is going to develop?
M: I brought the books and read the first two. Got an idea of the family background. Not much Tyler in season 1. Mainly scenes with Jeremy. It’s a big cast so they need to show a lot of storylines. Can’t wait for season 2!
Q: What has been your favourite scenes to shoot? Season 1 and 2.
M: Season 1 – punching Jeremy in the face and he doesn’t know what’s happening. There’s a close-up of the moon in that shot which is kinda foreshadowing.
Spoilers to follow!
Season 2 – another Lockwood family member will appear – he’s my Uncle.
Q: How did you get into acting?
M: I didn’t take drama classes in high school. So I thought about “What if?” a lot. It was spontaneous – I took theater classes and I got opportunities.
Q: Is there a lot more Tyler in season 2?
M: Yes. Lockwood takeover.
Q: If you could play anyone else in (The Vampire Diaries) the series besides Tyler, who would you play and why?
M: Damon. I went for the role of Damon (was told I wasn’t pretty enough), I went for the role of Stefan (I was not “nice” enough).
Q: How did you get involved in The Vampire Diaries?
M: Vampires are so successful these days. My agent got me the audition.
Q: Do you have any movies coming out soon?
M: The Factory with John Cusack. Filmed a couple of years ago. Shooting’s done. Waiting for distribution and release now.
Q: Who do you get along most with on-set?
M: Everyone. We’re all really close. We shoot in Atlanta – live five minutes away from each other so we’re always at each others’ houses. I have the most scenes with Zach (Roerig) and Steven (McQueen) – we’re the closest.
Q: What would you like your character to do if you could do anything?
M: I’d like to see the lighter side of Tyler. That he’s not always a prick. More of his family and flashbacks of ancestors – maybe they were bullies back then.
Q: What’s your favourite episode of The Vampire Diaries?
M: Founder’s Day – the season finale. We shot on the weekend for that episode. Took 10 days to complete shooting. Since the finale was amazing, I think the first episode of season 2 should be just as good if not better.
Q: Were there any funny/unexpected moments on-set?
M: Fight scene with Zach (in 1×18 – Under Control) – the pavement was slick and my knee came down and hit Zach on the nuts. It was a “cut” right there. I felt really bad.
Q: If you could star in any TV series/movie, what would it be?
M: I want to be a serial killer on Dexter.
Q: If you weren’t acting, what would your job be?
M: A lawyer. I wanted to major in Marine Biology. I wanted to do shows at Seaworld.
Q: There are differences between The Vampire Diaries books and the TV series. Do you like or dislike that?
M: I knew it was different from the beginning. The books were written in ’91. I like TV – it’s edgier, interesting. It also shows respect to the books.
Q: What do you get up to when you’re not filming?
M: You mean besides keeping out of trouble? Hanging out with family/friends. I’m teaching myself photography – taking random pictures of landscapes and people. Not in a stalkery/perverted way…
Q: Have you ever been to Australia before?
M: Never. I’m enjoying myself, though!
Q: I’ve heard you’re a really good dancer…
M: Where does everybody hear that from? I’m not auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance or anything. I like to dance to certain music.
Q: When are you leaving Melbourne?
M: My flight is tomorrow [which is technically today (July 6th) - the cast left already].
Q: What’s your favourite part of being in Australia?
M: Being here (at the convention). Meeting all the fans.
Q: Were you shocked by Vicki’s death?
M: I was very sad. Her acting was amazing. I thought, “who am I gonna do scenes with now?”
Q: What’s the thing about vampires/werewolves that makes them so popular?
M: It’s history repeating itself. Buffy/Angel. This is a new generation. Success of Twilight/True Blood.
Q: Who are you favourite actors/actresses?
M: (Robert) De Niro. Kate Beckinsale. Meryl Streep. I’d like to work with De Niro.
Q: Stefan or Damon?
M: Damon. Tyler comes from the same world – flawed, rules don’t apply to them, can also be sweet… I relate to him more.
Spoilers to follow!
Q: Does Tyler have a new love interest in season 2?
M: Yes. That’s all I can say.
Q: What’s your favourite type of music?
M: Everything. Favourite band is The Doors. I like hip hop – Kid Cudi. I partied a lot when I was younger. I like electro.
Q: What’s your favourite TV series?
M: Dexter. Modern Family. The Office.
Q: Have you ever been starstruck and by who?
M: I bumped into him while I was headed to an audition – he was talking business. It was George Clooney.
Q: Would you mind if Tyler went darkside?
M: No.
Q: Who’s your mentor?
M: My grandfather from my dad’s side. He’s a hard working Mexican.
Q: Have you tasted Vegemite?
M: Yes. It sounded disgusting. A friend of mine is Australian and told me to buy a few jars for her while I was here. I had toast and Vegemite for
breakfast the other day. It’s an acquired taste. I also did a Tim Tam Slam.
Q: Have you tried any local beer?
M: Just Pure Blonde.
Q: Have you done anything interesting in Australia?
M: A tour of the Sydney Opera House.
Q: Are you surprised with the popularity of The Vampire Diaries?
M: I always knew it’d be popular. Not THIS big though. The scripts are so good, even I’m a fan!
Q: You were in 90210 – how are the people?
M: I was excited to be on the remake at first. Then the writers/producers got lost. My character didn’t work out. I still keep in touch with the cast,
though.
Q: How much can you benchpress?
M: I don’t actually know. I’m having a gym session before the autographs.
Q: What’s your best Aussie accent?
M: (imitates an Australian and does it REALLY well in my opinion) Stranger Danger.
Q: What show did you work on that you enjoyed the most?
M: Cane. It was my first real big gig. I felt like I was getting paid to learn how to act.
Q: What do you dislike/like about Tyler?
M: Dislike – fights all the time, super cocky, womaniser. I want to show the different side of him. Like – not gonna take no for an answer.
Q: What do you think you’ll be doing in 10-20 years?
M: Swimming at Seaworld. (joke) Hopefully in films by then – acting/directing.
Q: Did the flight (to Australia) put you off?
M: I’ll definitely come back next year if the opportunity arises. I can fall asleep anywhere – I’ve never flown on Virgin Blue. It was quite an experience.
Q: Are you on Twitter?
M: Yes (if you aren’t following him already, you can find him here).
Q: Would you guest star on Supernatural?
M: There are a lot of Supernatural fans in Australia. The fanbase is diehard. I need to look into it more. I’m sure there can be a crossover somewhere…
Q: Do you prefer Australian or American football?
M: Do you mean rugby? Rugby is huge in Australia. I would like to know (AFL – Australian Football League) how it works. I’ll Wiki that.
I’ve been an NFL fan since birth.
Q: Do you like Dexter because Jimmy (Smits) was on it?
M: Jimmy is very respected in the business. I’ve been watching Dexter since season 1, though. Jimmy is very professional.
Q: What’s it like working with Kevin Williamson?
M: In high school everyone watched Dawson’s Creek. Working with him is great. Kevin is brilliant.
Q: Do you like Melbourne or Sydney better?
M: I need to check out Melbourne more. I was in Sydney for a couple of days.
Q: What’s your favourite mythical creature?
