You’ve already met Aiden Flowers, the adorable child actor who will be portraying little Klaus Mikaelson in The Originals Season 1 Episode 16. Now prepare to meet the equally precious kid who has been cast as young Elijah: Perry Cox! According to IMDb, this adorable and talented thespian is also set to make his official debut in the sixteenth episode of the Vampire Diaries spin-off, which is titled “Farewell to Storyville.”
Some of Perry’s television and film credits include Drop Dead Diva, Revolution (as young Miles), and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. That said, we have a feeling he’s going to make waves as Klaus and Rebekah’s big brother. Welcome to the OG family, Perry!

We don’t know about you but this kid is a pretty much a dead ringer for lil’ Elijah. Those warm, brown eyes that put you at ease, that dark hair that settles perfectly just over his forehead, and his wise-beyond-his-years demeanor? Throw in some tiny, fancy suits and quotes about family and honor and we’re taking business!
According to recent spoilers, this installment will feature several flashbacks and show the Mikaelsons as pint-sized humans. Moreover, in an attempt to end the nonstop bickering between Klaus and Rebekah, Elijah, the clan’s go-to mediator, reveals a long-held secret from the family’s past. We can’t wait to find out what it is and to see the Originals as children!
What do you think of this casting choice, loves? Is Perry Cox definitely Elijah’s mini-me? Do you think Elijah was a well-behaved lad or do you picture him as a bit more rambunctious? And which adorable child star, in your opinion, should take on the role of little Rebekah Mikaelson? Post your thoughts in the comments!
