PopEater has an interview with Zach Roerig.

Here is an excerpt:
PopEater: The fictional vampire genre is a very crowded space right now, with ‘Twilight,’ ‘True Blood,’ etc. How much of the show’s popularity relies on the vampire craze?
Zach Roerig: “I think the initial craze was generated from the recent vampire explosion, but now I think fans are genuinely invested in each character. We are also given great material to work with from our dedicated writers.”

Here is an excerpt from the interview:
PopWrap: Had you read “The Vampire Diaries” books before coming on the show?
Zach: I was always a fan of vampires, but I hadn’t read the books. Fortunately, though, I have a little sister and a bunch of girl cousins that had read the books, so they pretty much filled me in when I first got the audition.
PopWrap: What was it about Matt that attracted you to the role?
Zach: Well, on “Friday Night Lights,” Cash started out as kind of a nice guy but then turned out to be, you know, not a nice guy. And other characters I’ve played have always in the end just been kinda walking on the wrong side of the line. Matt was a chance to just really play a nice guy. I just wanted to get a chance to show that.
PW: He’s nice now, but will he stay nice if/when he discovers that his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend is a vampire?
Zach: You know, I think as soon as Matt figures out that they’re vampires, something’s gonna happen. He’s a pretty level-headed guy, but he’s also the hero so, you know, who knows. Who knows what he’ll do.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:
Why is Matt still so drawn to Elena?
I think it’s just one of those cases where he doesn’t know any different. Elena’s the only girlfriend he’s ever had. She’s his childhood best friend who was the first for everything.
Has playing a non-vampire given you vampire envy?
When it first started out I was totally content not playing a vampire just because there’s a lot of extra contacts and make-up involved. But now I think it would be kind of fun to play a vampire. Ian Somerhalder makes it look like a blast.
