In addition to the recently announced Andrew Lees and Rebecca Breeds, EW can exclusively reveal that Lawrence Kao (The Walking Dead) and Oliver Ackland (Satisfaction) have joined "The Originals" in a recurring capacity.

Kao will play Van, a handsome, stubborn witch who has always stayed out of coven politics. But when tragedy strikes, he finds himself inescapably drawn into the beginnings of a war.

Ackland, meanwhile, will play Tristan, a handsome and mysterious vampire who has a long and complicated history with the Originals. Both charming and worldly, a man born into such wealth and power that he carries with him the cool assurance of his own superiority. With those he loves, he can be equal parts warm and caring, obsessive and co-dependent. But with his enemies, he is cruel and completely merciless.
