New Character Added to The Vampire Diaries

A new character will be added to The Vampire Diaries this fall.

Fans of the book series are familiar with Alaric Saltzman, a young history teacher that executive producer Kevin Williamson describes as "hot."

No word yet on the actor that will portray the character. Got any suggestions?

Moreover, the show will be casting several local residents in Virginia (where the it films) to play townspeople, including students' parents, the town sheriff and a pastor.
