As Niklaus”Klaus”Mikaelson, Joseph Morgan plays a centuries old powerful vampire/werewolf hybrid that is hated by everyone.  However, he maintains the strong family bond between the Mikaelson clan with ‘Always and Forever’ being their motto.  But how do his family really feel about Klaus? Would they even wish him happy birthday?

That is a question that I can’t answer with certainty.  But what I can tell you is that as actor Joseph Morgan, who plays Klaus celebrates his birthday today May 16, he has a legion of fans worldwide who want to extend their well wishes to him.

The London born actor has numerous credits but it is his role as Klaus that has given him name recognition and fans to match.  Although Klaus is a blood thirsty monster, Joseph Morgan plays the character with a mixture of charm, sarcasm and sensitivity that rises him above total villainy.

Joseph Morgan originated the role of Klaus on The Vampire Diaries in 2011 before the character moved to his own show, The Originals in 2013.

So on this your birthday, I want to thank you for your portrayal and Klaus and wish you continue success with your career.
