The Originals Adds Sleepy Hollow Alum Neil Jackson as Season 4 Vampire
The Headless Horseman is making tracks for New Orleans. Sort of.
Neil Jackson, Ichabod’s friend-turned-frenemy on Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, will recur on The Originals‘ upcoming fourth season, series star Joseph Morgan revealed to reporters in the press room at San Diego Comic-Con.
Little is known as about Jackson’s character at the moment, save for him being a vampire named Alistair who will interact with Klaus. (For Alistair’s sake, let’s hope that interaction doesn’t involve a beheading — not that Jackson hasn’t had practice in that role.)
Jackson’s additional TV credits include roles on Blindspot, Person of Interest and Make It or Break It.
