The Vampire Diaries just wouldn't be the same without Nina Dobrev's iconic portrayal of Elena and her doppelganger Katherine Pierce. The actress revealed in a recent interview the tough decision she had to make between auditioning for the hit series and another acclaimed show. Boardwalk Empire, a project with a nudity clause, was on the table, but Dobrev ultimately chose The Vampire Diaries.
The CW's supernatural drama, based on L. J. Smith's novels, follows Elena as she navigates a love triangle with vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore in Mystic Falls.
While Boardwalk Empire was praised for its storytelling, Dobrev's role in The Vampire Diaries launched her career to new heights. The legacy of the series continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of romance, drama, and supernatural elements, proving that Dobrev made the right choice in the end.
