Actor
Nina Dobrev said she has always seen herself as a risk-taker.
The 28-year-old star added the reason she walked away from her hit TV show '
Vampire Diaries
' is because she did not want to get stereotyped as an artiste.
"I wanted to prove everyone wrong who said I would play this one role my whole life or be stuck playing younger roles. I've always wanted to take big risks...
"I started 'Vampire Diaries' when I was 20.... I grew with the show and I wanted to continue to grow outside of it. Mentally, it was a crazy time. I was 27 when I left the show. I was ready to do something different,"
Dobrev
said.
The actor will next be seen in the reboot of cult 1990 movie '
Flatliners
'.
