'Vampire Diaries' & 'Originals' Add Mouzam Makkar & Matt Cedeno For Guest Spots

Meet the two new faces coming to The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

Mouzam Makkar, who you might recognize from American Horror Story, will recur on TVD as Alex, a “beautiful, charming and cocky researcher at the head of a mysterious organization,” TVLine reports.

“She has ties to Enzo’s backstory,” executive producer Caroline Dries dished. “As he’s trying to find his place in the world, she comes in and says, ‘Let me help you out with that.’ Is she good? Is she bad? What’s her bigger agenda? We’ll pull back her layers as the season goes on.”

Meanwhile, Matt Cedeno will come to New Orleans on The Originals as Cortez, a “callous, smart and manipulative vampire from the Mikaelsons’ past who comes to New Orleans seeking vengeance.”

“Cortez is someone who was sired by a unique circumstance,” executive producer Michael Narducci shared. “He has a very interesting perspective, particularly on Klaus. He’s of Klaus’ sire line, but he was not sired by Klaus. He’s a very intriguing character, one of the most dangerous folks we’ve met.”
