The Vampire Diaries spawned a super popular, fan-favorite franchise of shows on The CW!

The series, which ran for eight seasons, centered on 17-year-old Elena, who was torn between two vampire brothers, good Stefan and the evil Damon, who face new dangers in the town of Mystic Falls.

TVD also spawned two more spinoff shows – The Originals and Legacies, the latter of which just came to an end in 2022. There’s even an idea for a fourth series!

Since it’s debut in 2009, the stars have gone on to have successful careers in Hollywood, and they have wracked up impressive fortunes in the process. But who is the wealthiest? We did some digging and looked at the estimated net worth of the biggest stars on the show and ranked them. The top earners are worth over $10 million!

Zach Roerig, best known for playing Matt Donovan on the hit The CW series The Vampire Diaries, was arrested for DUI this past weekend.

The 35-year-old actor was in Ohio for Memorial Day Weekend and he was pulled over by cops at around 2:30am on Sunday (May 24) when the police saw his car had no front plates.

TMZ reports that “cops noticed Zach‘s slurred speech and bloodshot eyes and say he reeked of booze.” The outlet says that when cops conducted field sobriety tests, the actor told them, “This is very hard, I can’t do this when I’m f–king…”

Zach‘s voice then trailed off and the cop asked what he meant and he reportedly said, “When I can’t have a beer.”

After being taken to jail for misdemeanor DUI, sources say that Zach peed in his holding cell. He was eventually released on his own recognizance and he will be arraigned on June 4.

Zach most recently starred in a new USA Network series that was just canceled.

The new USA Network series Dare Me, which is set in the cutthroat world of competitive high school cheerleading, will debut next month and the first trailer was just released!

Dare Me is based on the acclaimed novel by Megan Abbott and it follows the fraught relationship between two best friends (Herizen Guardiola and Marlo Kelly) after a new coach (Willa Fitzgerald) arrives to bring their team to prominence. While the girls’ friendship is put to the test, their young lives are changed forever when a shocking crime rocks their quiet rust belt town.

Part coming-of-age story, part sport drama, part murder mystery, Dare Me exposes the physical and psychological extremes that some young women are willing to endure in order to get ahead.

Willa starred in the MTV series Scream and most recently appeared in the movie The Goldfinch. You might remember Herizen from her Netflix series The Get Down and Marlo is an Aussie actress who has appeared on Home and Away.

Also starring in Dare Me are Paul Fitzgerald, Zach Roerig, Rob Heaps, and Alison Thornton. The new series, produced by Universal Cable Productions, premieres on USA on Sunday, December 29 at 10/9c.

Lea Thompson and Madelyn Deutch pose with cast members from their film The Year of Spectacular Men during its 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival premiere on Friday night (June 16) in Santa Monica, Calif.

Madelyn wrote and starred in the movie with sister Zoey Deutch and their mom Lea, while Lea also directed the film.

Cast members Cameron Monaghan, Jesse Bradford, Zach Roerig, Nicholas Braun, and Melissa Bolona stepped out for the premiere.

Here is the synopsis: “In the year after graduating college, Izzy struggles to navigate the seemingly incessant failures of adulthood, the reality of a substandard dating pool and a debilitating fear of top-sheets, all in between X-Files marathons. Comically unsuccessful in love over the course the year, including five half-hearted relationships with astoundingly self-centered men, Izzy resigns herself to the support of her mother and sister, who are struggling with their own relationship problems. Seeing herself in them, Izzy gradually gains the confidence to be honest and vulnerable.”

Zoey wasn’t able to attend the premiere as she’s in New York City working on an upcoming film.

Hopefully the film will get picked up by a studio so we can see it in theaters soon!
