Michael Trevino

While he had the acumen to tackle all types of roles, Michael Trevino excelled at playing dramatic characters. The California native made the leap into acting by paying his dues through making numerous appearances on primetime hit shows such as "Charmed" (The WB,1998-2006), "CSI: Miami" (CBS, 2002-12) and "Bones" (Fox, 2005- ). Hollywood casting agents began taking notice of the talented actor, whereupon he landed recurring roles on the short-lived family drama "Cane" (ABC Television, 2007) and the popular reboot of "90210" (Fox, 2008-13), on which he played the "boy toy" of a privileged and spoiled high school teenager. But it took his role as a shape shifter on the supernatural drama series "The Vampire Diaries" (The CW, 2009-17) to make Trevino a household name and established him as one of his generation's most promising television stars.
