This is Paul Wesley, star of The CW's The Vampire Diaries.
He appeared on many, many other shows in the 10 years before he started to play Stefan Salvatore in 2009.
Like 24.
And Fallen.
And American Dreams.
And Smallville.
And The O.C., where he played Donnie — a hot-tempered waiter who worked with Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie) at the Crab Shack on the harbor.
So, that made it all the more amazing when Ivy (Emily C. Chang) asked Stefan where he wanted to go to dinner in the Oct. 2 Season 6 premiere.
We see what you did there, TVD!
