Zach Roerig stars as Matt Donovan on The Vampire Diaries, an all-American guy struggling to do the right thing in a town full of mystery and violence.
While “The Vampire Diaries” marked Roerig’s true introduction into primetime television, he is no stranger to hard, steady work. Born and raised in Northwestern Ohio, Zach assisted in his family business and played competitive sports, including football and wrestling. Growing up in a small, rural town, Roerig has always been an avid outdoorsman. In his later years of high school, he caught the acting bug and began commuting to Cleveland (the closest big city) to begin formal training. Upon graduation Zach moved to New York to pursue his dream of a career as an actor.
Roerig currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where "The Vampire Diaries" is filmed.
