seanfaris_290.jpgHey "The Vampire Diaries" fans, if you love the pretty, you'll be happy with some new blood coming to Mystic Falls.

Sean Faris, who starred in the big screen's "Never Back Down," will visit "Vampire Diaries" for a multiple-episode run, a rep confirms.

Apparently, Faris, 27, is heading to Atlanta Wednesday to begin shooting his "Vampire Diaries" role as "a sexy bartender named Ben," publicist Craig Schneider tells Zap2it.

Naturally, this sexy Ben will somehow get mixed up with vampire business and one of the lovely ladies. Otherwise, what's the point of importing another pretty face? We're actually happy that he'll be playing a regular, blood-pumping human as far as we know. Leave the brooding vampire stuff to Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder.

Faris had previously starred on "Reunion" and "life as we know it," neither of which lasted one complete season. Twice bitten, the actor had vowed to Zap2it's Korbi Ghosh that he'd never to do TV again, but could he really pass up The CW's fangtastic hit and a chance to jump on the vampire bandwagon? Not bloody likely. Fang fans, rejoice!

Faris is repped by Dino May Management, Gersh and attorney Richard Genow.

Your thoughts? Are you a fan? Whose woman will "Ben" move in on?

Well crap. I've got a lot of catching up to do online. I only watched the series premiere and half the second episode. He's worth it!


Kelleck, the show itself is worth it. It's really well made. Shocking for The CW. It's the only show of theirs I've watched since 'Birds of Prey' aired when it was still The WB.


Oh, and yeah, stoked for Sean Faris to join. He's gorgeous. His acting career isn't going so hot, perhaps they can find a way to make him a regular. He has talent.


They have to bring in some new blood; they've killed off one regular and at least four "guest stars" already, if I'm counting correctly.


The young prince told her that when they aion gold were married, he would take her to his own kingdom. So on the wedding day, a splendid carriage drove up to buy aion gold the door.


This show is fantastic! I'm not much for tv with all the cheese on now days, however I can't seem to miss an episode of vampire. The only thing is don't fall in love with any of the caracters, you don't know who will die next.


This Show is awesome!!! Adding Sean Faris to the equation just makes it absolutely great!!! He is very talented not to mention gorgeous I do hope they keep him as a regular.


I think he is so hotttt I love the movie he play in never back down its a great way to show kids to never back down!!!
