The Vampire Diaries Cast: Where Are They Now?
12. Paul Wesley
Another contender for the heart of The Vampire Diaries, Stefan Salvatore was as upstanding a vampire as you could get, with strong morals, an overwhelming desire to fight his dark urges and an effortless ability to show affection to those he cared about making him one of the show's most endearing characters.
Paul Wesley was already something of a veteran when he landed the role on TVD, but he wasted little time beefing up his resume when it came to an end. Within a year of the show's conclusion, he began starring in CBS All Access' anthology series Tell Me A Story - in which he played the main characters of each of the two seasons.
He's also turned his attention to directing (after directing three episodes of The Vampire Diaries), getting behind the camera for episodes of Shadowhunters, Roswell, New Mexico, Batwoman and even TVD spinoff Legacies.
