Thomas Doherty Is Flattered By Damon Salvatore Comparisons on 'Legacies'

Thomas Doherty is definitely heating up our TV screens on Legacies!

The 24-year-old Descendants 3 actor recently opened up about being compared to Ian Somerhalder‘s Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries.

“I mean, it’s always flattering to be compared to someone everyone loved in the series and who is a very successful and incredible actor,” Thomas told Seventeen. “I think when I was working for Disney, I kept getting compared to Zac Efron and Troy Bolton and stuff, so that was natural to that.”

“I mean, I try to not let that affect what you’re trying to do for your character,” he continued. “They are completely different characters and he’s also done his fantastically well and you don’t just want to copy that. You want to give the audience something different. Something else that they can either relate to or not relate to. Enjoy or not enjoy. That’s the whole essence of what we do.”
