He is humble and polite, very gentle and kind   . ( ) The charming, sophisticated, sexy and dangerous feeling on his body allows him to truly interpret this role, and he also interprets another thing: British fashion. ( )
    Joseph Morgan has creamy skin, blue-green pupils that are different from ordinary people, and his expression often carries some evil charm and unintelligible smiles. In addition, he is also an out-and-out nerd. His father is a painter, and he has some "study bully" style in his blood since he was young. He studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, which is famous for drama. You will read wisdom and wit in his eyes, which is very different from the sense of world-weariness shown by ordinary vampire male gods. Although there are many vampire male gods, they feel far away from us. Only Joseph is as kind and easy-going as a neighbor's big brother.
