相信很多喜歡《吸血鬼日記》的劇迷們都對(duì)第六季出現(xiàn)的大反派凱伊印象深刻吧！劇里的他狡黠中又帶著壞壞的帥氣，實(shí)在讓人又愛又恨吶。扮演凱伊的克里斯在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中又是怎樣的呢？實(shí)際上，熒幕外那個(gè)貼心又全能的他早就擄獲眾多少女的芳心！

If you’re looking for a guy who’s the total package, we found him: 26-year-old Chris Wood, whose most recent role as thevillainous[邪惡的]Kai Parker in The Vampire Diaries has turned him into Hollywood’s hottest new bad boy.In real life, he’s a marathon-running, theater-loving,baseball[棒球]-playingheartthrob[萬人迷]who has a whole lot more to him than you’ll ever see on screen.

如果你在尋找一個(gè)完美的男人，我們幫你找到了。他就是26歲的克里斯·伍德，最近在《吸血鬼日記》飾演的惡人凱伊·帕克讓他晉升為好萊塢最受歡迎的壞男孩。在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，他是一位喜歡跑馬拉松、喜歡戲劇、喜歡打棒球的萬人迷。關(guān)于他的很多方面，你光從熒屏中是了解不到的。

The Ohio native isn’t new to the acting scene.Before his roles on The Carrie Diaries and Girls, you’d have to buy tickets to the theater to see him put on his best performance.“My first role was a rat in Pied Piper of Hamelin when I was six years old,”he tells us.“My older sister was really intotheater[電影院]and dance, so there’s always thesibling rivalry[手足之爭(zhēng)]element of growing up.I fell into it that way.It’s something I’ve done my whole life.”

That frst role was just the beginning.After growing up makingstop-motion[定格攝影]home movies with friends, plus ashort-lived[短期的]series[連續(xù)劇]in high school called Chris Wood: Action Man, it was pretty clear being an actor was in hisgenes[基因].“I grew up in Ohio and my family members weren’t artists or anything, so you have to find some sort of path to get to where you want to be,” Chris says.“I didn’t know anyone who had gone from Ohio and worked in Hollywood, so at a very early age I sort of had to fgure it out.”

Chris decided to go to Elon University in North Carolina to get his foot in the door, and it didn’t take long for him to catch hisbig break[重大轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)].“I knew you neededtraining[培訓(xùn)]to become a skilled theater actor, and to get training you had to go to school,” he says.

這位土生土長的俄亥俄州男孩對(duì)演戲并不陌生。在他出演《凱利日記》和《都市女孩》之前，你只能夠掏錢買票進(jìn)入劇院來欣賞他最好的演出。“我的第一個(gè)角色是在《穿花衣的吹笛手》中扮演一只老鼠，那時(shí)候我只有六歲。”他對(duì)我們說。“我的姐姐很喜歡戲劇和跳舞，因而在成長過程中我們倆常常互相較勁。而我也在這種較勁的過程中愈發(fā)喜愛戲劇表演。這是我一輩子都在做的事情。”

第一次的演出僅僅是克里斯演員生涯的開始。長大后，他和朋友在以定格形式拍攝的家庭電影里演出；高中時(shí)，他還在一部名叫《戰(zhàn)斗者克里斯·伍德》的短劇中演出過。顯然，他天生就是做演員的料。“我在俄亥俄州長大，我的家庭成員都不是演員或者做與之相關(guān)的工作，所以你得想辦法，去做自己喜歡的事，”克里斯說。“我不認(rèn)識(shí)曾經(jīng)從俄亥俄州到好萊塢工作的人，這讓我不得不在很年輕的時(shí)候絞盡腦汁想辦法解決這個(gè)難題。”

為了踏入演藝圈成為演員，克里斯決定在北卡羅萊納州的依隆大學(xué)上學(xué)。不久，他就抓住機(jī)會(huì)，迎來重大轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)。“我知道要成為一名專業(yè)的戲劇演員，必須接受培訓(xùn)。而上學(xué)就是接受培訓(xùn)的必經(jīng)之路。”他說。

After several roles during college, Chrisscored[獲得]thepart[角色]of Melchoir in the national tour of Spring Awakening, where he performed in eight shows a week in over 60 cities.Then a couple years later, it was on to TV.We loved him as Adam in The Carrie Diaries, but his new role as the leadantagonist[反派角色]in Vampire Diaries is his most fun one yet.“Kai is totally different from my other roles—being the bad guy is always great.The bad guys have all the fun.We get all the best lines,” he says.“Especially getting to play apsychotic[神經(jīng)病的]character! He’s so different from me.”

Fans of the show who meet Chris in real life are surprised by thedown-to-earth[現(xiàn)實(shí)的]sweetheart they fnd,given[考慮到]his crazy character.“I was in Florida at thisconvention[大會(huì)]and the thing I heard most often was ‘You’re not at all what I was expecting you to be like.’ I’m always thinking, ‘Well I hope not.I hope you didn’t think I was going to be anut[難對(duì)付的人],’” Chris says.

When he gets a break from filming, the entirecast[演員陣容]has a handful of things they like to do off set in Atlanta, Georgia.“They have this thing called thebeltline[環(huán)形]in Atlanta.It’s a bike path that goes around the entire city,” Chris says.“It’s veryscenic[風(fēng)景優(yōu)美的].They have all these cool local art projects along the side of the path: big sculptures,windmills[風(fēng)車], andpendulums[鐘擺].So we bike that some weekends when it’s nice.We also love game nights—we play a lot ofcharades[猜字游戲]and Cards Against Humanity.”

在大學(xué)期間扮演了許多角色之后，克里斯贏得了在《春之蘇醒》全國巡演中出演梅爾基奧的機(jī)會(huì)。這是在全國60多個(gè)城市的巡回演出，克里斯每周要表演八次。幾年后，克里斯開始出現(xiàn)在熒屏中。我們喜歡他在《凱莉日記》中扮演的亞當(dāng)，不過最近，他在《吸血鬼日記》里演的大反派無疑是最受追捧的。他說：“凱伊和我演過的其他角色完全不一樣，演大壞蛋的感覺總是很好，因?yàn)榇髩牡暗慕巧己苡腥ぃ遗_(tái)詞都是最好的，”他說。“我特別想演一個(gè)神經(jīng)病，因?yàn)檫@和我本人是完全不一樣的感覺。”

基于克里斯在劇中飾演的瘋狂角色，《吸血鬼日記》的粉絲們卻驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)克里斯在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中非常貼心。“當(dāng)我在佛羅里達(dá)開會(huì)的時(shí)候，聽到最多的莫過于‘你根本就不是我想象中的那樣’。我就一直在想，‘我也希望不是，我不希望你們都認(rèn)為我會(huì)是一個(gè)難搞的人，’” 克里斯說道。

在喬治亞州的亞特蘭大拍戲時(shí)，一到休息的時(shí)候，整個(gè)劇組演員都喜歡做一些事來消遣。“亞特蘭大有一條自行車道圍繞著整個(gè)城市，他們管這條自行車道叫做環(huán)行車道。”克里斯說道。“自行車道兩旁風(fēng)景綺麗，此外，那里還陳列著很多當(dāng)?shù)爻錾乃囆g(shù)作品：大雕像、風(fēng)車和鐘擺。周末天氣好的時(shí)候，我們一行人會(huì)去騎車。我們也喜歡游戲之夜，玩猜字和反人類牌。”

Being a baseball fan for basically his entire life, Chris also makes time to keep playing.“I playrec[娛樂休閑]softball sort ofreligiously[十分認(rèn)真地].I’m a huge baseball fan,” he tells us.“When I lived in New York City, I’d go to a Yankees game every week.I played until college, so I joined a couple leagues when I moved to Atlanta.That’s been fun when I’m not working.”

If you haven’t noticed, this guy’s pretty cool: From acting to singing and being an athlete, there’s not much he doesn’t do.So if you just became even more of a fan, don’t worry.This is just the beginning for theadorable[可愛的]Pied Piper rat who’s on his way to becoming one of Hollywood’s mostcoveted[垂涎的]stars.

作為一名棒球終身鐵粉，克里斯會(huì)抽空去打棒球。“我打起球來很認(rèn)真，我是一名狂熱的棒球粉絲，”他告訴我們。“當(dāng)我還住在紐約時(shí)，我每周都會(huì)去看洋基隊(duì)的比賽。上大學(xué)以前，我都會(huì)去打棒球。搬去了亞特蘭大后，我也加入了一些棒球聯(lián)盟，這讓我在不工作時(shí)也能找到樂趣。”

你們不覺得他很酷嗎？從演戲到唱歌再到棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，他幾乎無所不能。別擔(dān)心，成為他的狂熱粉絲，一點(diǎn)也不為過。對(duì)于這顆正在成為好萊塢最受人追捧的新星來說，《穿花衣的吹笛手》中的那只可愛小老鼠僅僅是個(gè)開端。
