Candice Accola: the beginning of the journey
The star of the series “The Vampire Diaries” was born in Houston in May 1987. Candice Accola was born into a family of a heart surgeon and an environmental engineer; there are no movie stars among her relatives. Candice has a younger brother, Cree, with whom the actress is very friendly. The first years of her life were spent in Edgewood, where the family moved shortly after her birth.
As a child, the future performer of the role of Caroline Forbes did not dream of an acting profession. She attended vocal classes and dreamed of becoming a singer.
Candice Accola's Early Life, Childhood and Family
Candice Accola was born on May 13, 1987 in the large Texas city of Houston.
In this place, however, our today’s heroine did not live very long. When the future celebrity was not yet five years old, her parents moved to the town of Edgewood in the southern state of Florida. In this place, Candace's father began to practice medicine and soon became known as a successful heart surgeon. In turn, the mother of our today’s heroine began working as an environmental engineer. Both of the actress’s parents were ardent supporters of the US Republican Party, and therefore often acted as its activists.
Candice Accola is one of the most popular American actresses today.
Concluding the conversation about the family of the star beauty, we note that in addition to herself, there is also another child in the Akkola family - the youngest son, Kri.
As for creative hobbies, Candice was a big fan of music at an early age. The girl dreamed of becoming a singer, and therefore, already in childhood, she formed the group “Girl Zone”, with which she organized impromptu concerts, and also performed in nursing homes, as well as at some youth festivals. In parallel with this, our today's heroine often worked as a fashion model, and sometimes even participated in fashion shows.
Singer
As a teenager, Candice Accola created a musical group. The team, whose members included the future star and her friends, was called GirlZone. The group organized concerts and performed at youth festivals and in nursing homes. However, the girls did not achieve much success, so the team soon disbanded.
When the group ceased to exist, Accola began a solo career. Candice's demo CD came out while she was still in school. It was called "It's Always the Innocent Ones".

He dreamed of becoming Wolverine, the main character of the X-Men comic book. While his peers played cowboy, he helped clean out the stables on his grandfather's farm and erected headstones at the local cemetery. This is not surprising, because it was a family business of the Roehrigs , in which Zach subsequently refused to participate, exchanging it for an acting career.
While studying in high school, he successfully played football, track and freestyle wrestling. But he felt he could achieve more. That is why, when he heard an announcement on the radio about enrollment in theater and modeling courses, he, without hesitation, applied. Every weekend he had to travel to Cleveland , but this did not dampen his interest in the acting profession.

In his native Ohio , he worked for the Stone Model & Talent Agency .
Like any teenager, after graduating from high school, Zack's reached a turning point. Many doors opened before him, and he could choose any one. He understood that he had already taken everything that his provincial town could offer him. The lack of career prospects prompted Roehrig to decide to move. And three days after graduation, Zach left his native Montpellier and went to conquer New York.
At first, life in a big city depressed the provincial guy, but his optimism, professionalism and determination did their job. He soon began working for the Ford Models , followed by participation in commercials for sportswear and Foot Locker , and print advertising for JCPenny and Marshall Fields .
