Candice King of We Were Liars/The Vampire Diaries

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Candice King who is known for her starring role as Caroline Forbes in all eight seasons of the smash hit, “The Vampire Diaries", as well as the successful spinoffs, “The Originals" and “Legacies." She currently can be seen starring in the highly anticipated series, “We Were Liars" out now on Prime Video. The series is based on E. Lockhart’s #1 New York Times Bestseller of the same name. Today, Candice opens up about saving Nina Dobrev at last year’s fan convention, what the real possibility is of having the cast reunite for another "The Vampire Diaries" project, what those cast reunions at conventions are really like, if she has finally watched the entire series, if she understands the magnitude of what she created with her character Caroline, was there ever a moment or scene for her character that she didn’t agree with, why it was fun playing a character with some faults in "We Were Liars," if she was nervous stepping into her first big leading series role since The Vampire Diaries, why she hopes people can see her as Bess and not Caroline in this series, if the die-hard book lovers will enjoy this adaptation, starting in Hollywood as an up and coming pop-star, how she became a back-up singer for Miley Cyrus, what she wants her children to be proud of her for, her pop culture hot-takes, why she thinks people are so obsessed with Caroline and Klaus, how that relationship came to be, society’s built-in guilt for working mothers, and so much more.
