Candice made her acting debut with the role of Annalisa / Tom in ‘‘Pirate Camp’’ in 2007, and then guest-starred in an episode of the worldwide acclaimed comedy television series ‘‘How I Met Your Mother’’. In the following year, she played the prominent role of Joann in ‘‘Deadgirl’’, the movie which follows the story of two boys who discover a woman who cannot die, imprisoned in an asylum, starring with Shiloh Fernandez, Noah Segan and Eric Podnar. As of the following year, Candice was a guest star in an episode of ‘‘The Supernatural’’, a worldwide hit horror series that follows the story of two brothers who fight supernatural enemies. As of the same year, she got the role of Caroline Forbes in ‘‘The Vampire Diaries’’, based on the book franchise of the same title. Playing one of the main characters in such a prominent series gained Accola recognition among audiences, and helped her gain more attention from the media, especially as the series won 34 awards, such as ASCAP, IGN, People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards, in addition to being nominated for 60 other awards. Candice remained in the series until 2017, over the course of 171 episodes. In the meantime, she had other projects, such as ‘‘Dating Rules from My Future Self’’, which received a mostly positive response from the audience.

When it comes to her private life, Candice married Joe King in 2014 and became a stepmother to his two daughters; subsequently, she gave birth to their daughter in 2016. She supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton despite both of her parents being republicans, and is an advocate for gay rights. Candice is active on social media websites such as Twitter and Instagram and is followed by two million people on the former and almost six million on the latter.
I feel like it's paralleled my own evolution in the sense that this role opened up a whole new world of opportunities and was quite a challenge. It's been a blast though! Caroline became such a strong character this year and yet she's still vulnerable and makes mistakes. But she always picks herself up. I've adored the woman she's become this season.
