You might recognize Chris Wood‘s handsome face from The Vampire Diaries, where he starred as the vengeful yet charming Malachai ‘Kai’ Parker in the sixth season of the CW’s vampy hit series or from guest starring turns on The Carrie Diaries, Major Crimes, HBO’s Emmy Award-winning series Girls or the Amazon pilot, Browsers. If you tune into the CW, you’re about to see a lot more of the St. Louis-born star, who will star in the network’s new show, Containment as Jake, a renegade-turned-cop who finds himself trapped in an office high-rise in the aftermath of a deadly epidemic outbreak in Atlanta. The series, which is written and executive produced by Julie Plec, is set to premiere on April 19th 2016. Here, the up and coming star shares his haute secrets to the City of Angels with Haute Living.
