She’s played a mermaid, a witch and now she has landed a role to really get her teeth into - a blood-thirsty vampire.
But Phoebe Tonkin hopes this latest supernatural role is her last. "I think I'm getting typecast a little bit, in the mythological world," she said. "I'm probably going to be a fairy next."
Fangs and scaly tails aside, the 23-year-old Australian actor has become hot property in Hollywood, landing a role on the fourth season of hit teen Fox8 series The Vampire Diaries following a stint playing a teen witch in supernatural drama The Secret Circle.
"They're really fun shows," she said.
"You get to play these ordinary characters put into these extraordinary situations, and The Secret Circle and The Vampire Diaries - they're about high school kids thrown into this unique crazy mythological world."
Tonkin, whose role in local drama Tomorrow When The World Began landed her an IFA nomination, said it was unlikely the sequels to the teen book adaptation would go ahead.
"A lot of time has passed and I don't think we all really look 16 anymore," said Sydney-born Tonkin.
But a part in another Australian feature film is on Tonkin's wish list.
"There are a lot of good opportunities back home and I don't need any persuading to come back and see my family and do something back there," she said.
