妮娜·杜波夫的出现，使得保加利亚人终于可以说他们成功进军了好莱坞。年仅21岁时，妮娜·杜波夫便已凭借着其在广受追捧的美剧《吸血鬼日记》中所扮演的埃琳娜·吉尔伯特，获得了国际上的认可。

妮娜出生于保加利亚首都索非亚，但她在两岁时便和父母移民到了加拿大。妮娜热衷于艺术，在安大略省的多伦多，她更是获得了发展其演艺天赋的机会。

她参加了舞蹈、体操、戏剧、音乐和视觉艺术方面的课程。然而，正是她的模特工作使她开始接拍商业广告，转而获得了试镜的机会。

2009年，妮娜凭借《吸血鬼日记》取得了重大突破。她扮演了一名在两个吸血鬼兄弟间纠缠的年轻女孩。在第二季中，她还扮演了保加利亚籍的凯瑟琳·皮尔斯—一位来自两兄弟的过去的吸血鬼。

在一共参演了20部美国和加拿大的电影及电视剧后，妮娜已经成为了好莱坞发展最快的明星之一。

在对她的采访中，妮娜分享了她的计划和对未来的期望。

作为一名年轻的好莱坞明星，你感觉怎样？在电影中首次取得突破时，你又有什么想法和感受？

能够成为一名职业演员是很令人满足的。同时，这也是一个漫长的过程，不是一天两天就能做到的，要经过很多的训练和努力。但这对于我来说是一段美好的旅程，而现在我正处于一个对工作十分自信的状态。我正不断地接受挑战，而且乐在其中。

就目前来看，你从自己的演艺经验中学到了什么？作为一名演员，这些演艺经验对你有什么好处？

在《吸血鬼日记》中，我得到了难得的机会—去扮演两个完全不同的角色。这是一个少有且独特的机会，我觉得可以在如此令人惊艳的电视剧中同时扮演两个这么棒的角色实在太幸运啦！每天都是一个挑战，但我喜欢挑战，所以这是件非常好的事情！

你还这么年轻，你希望你的职业生涯如何发展呢？你如今正努力去实现的目标又是什么呢？

我会继续对我的工作抱有很高的期望，我希望可以完善自我，继续寻找具有挑战性的角色并且拍摄好的电影和电视剧。我想要转向电影界，并且尝试不同类型的片种，比如浪漫喜剧片、剧情片和动作片。

为了追求你的演艺事业，你放弃了你的大学学业。作出这个选择有多艰难？

曾经有一段时间，我一边上着大学，一边继续当着一名女演员。但当我出演的角色变得越来越重要，接拍电影的机会陆续到来的时候，我不得不作出选择。无论在什么事情上想获得成功，你都必须投入全部的精力。我对于我的选择充满信心，而且很开心我选择了我的演艺事业。我私底下会继续阅读和学习，而且会一直这么做。我从来不认为我会停止学习，直到我生命的最后一天，我都将不断地拓展自己的知识。此时此刻，我觉得我正在做着对自己来说正确的事情。
