Paul Wesley is Good Vampire Brother Stefan on my beloved Vampire Diaries. Having been through the love triangle trenches with show creator Kevin Williamson before, I was poised to totally dislike this character and spend my viewing time snarking about how annoying he was and how bad his hair looked.
But lo and behold! Stefan Salvatore is no Dawson Leery! He’s a leg in a love triangle I can actually appreciate! He’s also a pretty good actor. Yes, pretty boys on vampire shows can act. His admission to Elena in Blood Brothers of his 100+ years of guilt and pain put Edward Cullen’s brooding to shame.
So last week I found this video on YT of Paul and co-stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder doing a TVGuide shoot last year. Good GOD did Paul bring the pretty! I mean, I know he’s easy on the eyes but I had to pause the thing so I could screencap this:
And today this popped up in my Twitter feed:
I love me a versatile guy who can look like a clean-smelling pretty boy, and a grungy bad boy. Well played Paul!
How many days until the S2 premiere again? 😛

Hey! I’ve been following Julie’s TV Recappers Anonymous and decided to check out your blog, which is awesome as expected 🙂
I totally agree with you about the love triangle thing. I think Vampire Diaries is the only show I’ve ever followed that has me equally invested in every member of the triangle. I mean seriously, there is no competition when it comes to Eric vs Bill, Pacey vs Dawson, Chuck vs Nate etc etc (in my humble opinion!)
God, can’t believe how sculpted his body is! Plus, Paul Wesley seems like a genuine sweetheart in every interview I’ve ever seen him in.

Hey Cherie!
Thanks for taking a look. I hope you’ll be back as once TVD starts up again I’m sure there will plenty to drool – er – TALK – about :-))
I saw some footage from earlier this summer of Ian and Paul at the end of a red carpet heading in to some event. It was really funny bc Ian was chatting and posing and taking his time and Paul was sort of standing next to him a bit “um. We need to go – can we – uh – we should go in. I think.” :-0
VERY well cast IMO!

I’ll definitely be stopping by and commenting on all the liveblogging goodness!
Just an indication of my rabid fangirliness – I picked up an extra five hours a week at work so that I can save up money for Comic Con, should the tour bus idea go ahead 🙂

Oh he is definitely a fine specimen of a man! =] I have to agree with you on the versatility thing… it’s like getting two for the price of one, always a bonus.

Heh – a Vannucci shout-out – nice! Glad you approve. I’m loving your Tumblr BTW 😉

I hereby bow down to the queen of the clickable links! You are the master! 🙂 Loved the reappearance of “Crying Dawson,” by the way, that never gets old. (Which is ironic, actually, because the CHARACTER’S whininess got old after Season 1.)
Those two Paul Wesley pics, you graciously shared with us here, are literally TO DIE FOR! If there was a Museum of Perfect Body Parts, Paul Wesley’s chiseled cheek bones from the first pic, and drool-worthy arms (OMG!) from the second pic, would both ABSOLUTELY make the cut.
And, just to put it out there, I would totally invest in a Museum of Perfect Body Parts . . . Want in with me? I think we could make a mint . . .

I want part in any endeavor that involves feeling Wesley’s chin and biceps in the name of “research”:
“It’s for a MUSEUM!! Wait, why are you running away??”
;-p
And mocking Beeky’s crying Never. Gets. Old. Plus it makes me remember he’s crying bc Joey just ran off with PACEY!!’n
