Paul Wesley, best known for his portrayal of the 162-year-old vampire Stefan Salvatore on "Vampire Diaries," is about to sink his teeth into something new.

Wesley would be pitted against British thesp Douglas Booth (Romeo) to win the heart of Juliet, played by current "it" girl Hailee Steinfeld. He would join an A-list cast that also includes Holly Hunter as Juliet's nurse, Ed Westwick as the (ill-fated) Tybalt and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Benvolio. Get More »

A new, cinematic version of Shakespeare's classic romantic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" is in the works and needs a young man to play Tybalt, a high and mighty prick who loves to ruffle feathers. Hmm, who could pull that off?

The actor has been tapped to play the role of Juliet's cousin, reports Variety,  alongside recent Oscar-nominee Hailee Steinfeld, who is set to play the titular female lead.

Hey, nothing wrong with riding the coattails of an 15-year-old if it means you get to be on the big screen! Get More »
