Peyton Alex Smith Joins 'Legacies' As Charismatic Werewolf Rafael

Peyton Alex Smith has officially joined Originals spinoff series, Legacies, as a series regular.

Deadline reports that the former Quad star will play Rafael, a dangerously charismatic and newly-triggered werewolf.

With a combination of a pure and loyal heart mixed with a lifetime of abuse and anger, Rafael wants to be a good person but lives in a constant struggle with the emotional demons that have plagued him through a difficult childhood.

Legacies centers on the next generation of supernatural beings at The Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, where 17-year-old Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and others come of age in the most unconventional way possible, nurtured to be their best selves, all under the watchful eye of headmaster Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis).
