Met him at a filming in Atlanta today!
He's seriously the NICEST guy. TVD was filming a few 'nyc street scenes' in Downtown Atlanta today around Georgia State University (you can see the GSU emblem on the street lamp to the right of the pic I'm posting below). He was in a golf cart that drove a lil past me before my friends and I noticed, and once we acknowledged him, he said "hey, everyone! what's up!" with a huge smile. He also looked directly at me after I yelled 'hey!" and said "hey darling! *winks* what's up!!" After he was done shooting his scene, he turned to the crowd watching him and said "bye y'all" and blew a few kisses. So sincere and friendly. Genuinely a great guy! Claire Holt (who plays Rebecca) was also very friendly too unlike Nina Dobrev who seemed very offput and kind of stuck up.
Here's a pic I took as he was talking to me:
