In aflevering 1×16 van ‘The Originals’ zullen we een jongere versie zien van Klaus, Elijah en Rebekah. De onderstaande kindsterren zijn gecast op deze rol op zich te nemen!
Before Klaus was ripping out hearts, snapping necks, and causing a total ruckus in New Orleans (in his own charming way of course), he was but a wee Viking lad with an active imagination. That’s right — prior to being tortured by his family and turned into an immortal fiend, Niklaus Mikaelson was actually an innocent child once who dreamed of embarking on glorious adventures and visiting majestic cities. (We’re sure he was probably naughty sometimes as well — nibbling on sweets before supper, tugging on Rebekah’s golden braids when his parents weren’t looking, and flashing his precious dimples to get out of sticky situations — but it’s all good.) Well get excited, gentle viewers, because we will be getting our first glimpse of Klaus as a youngster in The Originals Season 1 Episode 16: “Farewell to Storyville.” The character will be played by cute-as-a-button actor Aiden Flowers, and with his blond hair and sparkling eyes, we think Aiden is the perfect kid for the job!
MAiden, a Mississippi native who loves making stop-motion Lego movies during his downtime and is represented by Action Talent Agency/Angie Moncrief, has starred in several film so far including North of Hell (where he played the son of Katherine Heigl’s and Patrick Wilson’s characters), Maggie, Smothered, and 2 Bedroom 1 Bath. We just know that he’s going to blow our minds with his portrayal of the adorable-yet-tough Klaus. That said, be sure to follow him on his official twitter account at @TheAidenFlowers for more behind-the-scenes updates on the show!
You’ve already met Aiden Flowers, the adorable child actor who will be portraying little Klaus Mikaelson in The Originals Season 1 Episode 16. Now prepare to meet the equally precious kid who has been cast as young Elijah: Perry Cox! According to IMDb, this adorable and talented thespian is also set to make his official debut in the sixteenth episode of the Vampire Diaries spin-off, which is titled “Farewell to Storyville.”
Some of Perry’s television and film credits include Drop Dead Diva, Revolution (as young Miles), and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. That said, we have a feeling he’s going to make waves as Klaus and Rebekah’s big brother. Welcome to the OG family, Perry!
We don’t know about you but this kid is a pretty much a dead ringer for lil’ Elijah. Those warm, brown eyes that put you at ease, that dark hair that settles perfectly just over his forehead, and his wise-beyond-his-years demeanor? Throw in some tiny, fancy suits and quotes about family and honor and we’re taking business!According to recent spoilers, this installment will feature several flashbacks and show the Mikaelsons as pint-sized humans. Moreover, in an attempt to end the nonstop bickering between Klaus and Rebekah, Elijah, the clan’s go-to mediator, reveals a long-held secret from the family’s past. We can’t wait to find out what it is and to see the Originals as children!
You’ve already had the pleasure of meeting Aiden Flowers and Perry Cox, the adorable child actors cast as young Niklaus and Elijah Mikaelson, respectively. Now prepare to have your heart melt over the utterly precious actress who is set to play the boys’ baby sister, Rebekah in The Originals Season 1 Episode 16!
Let’s please give a very warm welcome to the talented and delightful Callie Brook McClincy!
The bio on her official Facebook page reads as follows: “Callie is a professional pretender! She loves to sing and dance, and looks forward to every opportunity to step into someone else’s shoes and story.” Aww! Isn’t she a cutiepie? With her blonde waves, wondrous, blue eyes, and sweet smile, this little lady is the spitting image of Claire Holt, who plays the adult version of Rebekah on The Vampire Diaries spinoff. Moreover, Callie is just as brilliant of an actress; taking into account how she’s still at the start of her film and television career, it’s amazing that she’s already booked so many great roles! Along with her highly anticipated Originals gig, this little lady stars as Sharon Blackwell in “11 Seconds”, Hanna James in the TV movie “Anna Nicole,” and young Karen Wheaton in “It’s Supernatural.”
Just like the other pint-sized Mikaelsons, she will be making her official debut in a significant flashback scene in “Farewell to Storyville.” Will it be the one in which Elijah reveals a shocking secret about their family? Perhaps, but one thing’s for sure: the trio’s childhood vignettes will be memorable and oh-so-endearing, especially when contrasted with the show’s constant slew of supernatural battles and bloodshed.
Overall, we’re excited to see Callie in action as the feisty little Viking. Considering how we recently found out that Rebekah is Mikael’s favorite child and that she was also quite sneaky for such a small tyke (basically, she did naughty things and blamed them on Klaus like any younger sibling would), we’re intrigued to see her as an itty bitty girl.
