For those of you who don't know, The Vampire Diaries is the absolute best show in existence. That being said, the cast should be equally as great. And yes Elena is gorgeous, everyone knows that. Let's just focus on the men of the show for a change. Here are just some of the male actors that make the show worth every minute.

1. Damon Salvatore

Being on team Delena, Damon is my personal favorite out of the Salvatore brothers. Yes, he may be obnoxious, but it totally works for him.

2. Stefan Salvatore

"Not the best, but still great" best describes Stefan. He may be adorable but he's not the bad boy that Elena really wants.

3. Alaric Saltzman

We cannot forget about Alaric, especially after how generous he always is!

4. Tyler Lockwood

Tyler is perfect, that's pretty much all.

5. Jeremy Gilbert

Poor Jeremy has been through so much, but he's grown up into a great man.

6. Matt Donovan

Matt, this guy has been hurt in every way possible, but he's still always there for his friends.

7. Niklaus Mikaelson

So I'm pretty sure that Niklaus is terrible, but he has his moments where he could potentially be an okay guy.

8. Elijah Mikaelson

Elijah is slightly terrifying and difficult to figure out, but he's alright.

9. Kai Parker

Okay, so I know that Kai was awful, but I do have some sympathy for the guy.

10. Enzo St. John

Enzo was also pretty terrible at first, but I think he has great potential to not be as horrible as he has been.

11. Mason Lockwood

Ah yes, the other Lockwood boy. Mason sure was a surprise but I'm not complaining at all.

Those are just some of the men that make the show so much better than it would've originally been without them. If you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend binge-watching it on Netflix right now!
