Charles Michael Davis Was Inspired by Paul Wesley To Direct on 'The Originals'

Charles Michael Davis is making his directorial debut tonight on The Originals.

The actor, who plays Marcel on the show, credited Paul Wesley for catching the directing bug.

“It all started from finding out that Paul Wesley had directed [on The Vampire Diaries] and just chatting with Paul,” he reveals. “This was season 1 of when we were shooting and they [Vampire Diaries] were still in season 4. But it just sparked the idea and I just started asking around.”

Charles added, “I became so curious. I got some tips, and then I started shadowing around season two, and then they gave [Joseph Morgan] an episode in season there and I watched and learned from Joe.”

Be sure to tune in tonight @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
