Yusuf Gatewood Upgraded to Series Regular on 'The Originals'

"Finncent" is going to be sticking around for a while.

Yusuf Gatewood, the man playing Finn Mikaelson in the body of Vincent, has been promoted to series regular status for season two of The Originals, The CW's hit spinoff of The Vampire Diaries.

“We’re thrilled to annouce that Yusuf Gatewood has been promoted to series regular as of this winter,” said executive producer Julie Plec in a statement. “In addition to his incredible talent, he has been a joy to work with—committed, passionate, professional, kind and inspiring. We’re honored to have him as part of the family.”

The cast is generally the strongest element of The Originals, so it's a good thing the show is locking down its more talented cast members to keep the ensemble strong, moving forward. Especially since the show could be a long-term, dependable cornerstone for The CW. Might as well treat it right.
