Joshua Jackson considers 'Vampire Diaries' role, practices his Salvatore brooding

This. Is. Amazing. "Fringe" star Joshua Jackson, who worked with "The Vampire Diaries" co-creators Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson on "Dawson's Creek," confirms to E! Online that he spoke with them at Comic-Con about coming on board for a possible "Diaries" guest role. Pacey in Mystic Falls? Excuse me; my inner 13-year-old just died and went to teen drama heaven. (It's a place filled with love triangles, angsty emo-pop, and long, pensive gazes across high school classrooms.)
Jackson might need some convincing before he agrees to the role. "It turns out that [Williamson] is not making a comedy with 'The Vampire Diaries,'" he jokes. "I think it would be more sort of like 'Inside Baseball' comedy if I popped up, but who knows. Maybe we'll take Pacey for a little light-hearted bloodsucking. We're all family, here."
I know. It's almost too much awesomeness to handle right now. Are you feeling a little lightheaded? You'll want to make sure you're sitting down when you watch Jackson's impression of Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley's brooding CW vampires. "They're all too handsome," Jackson says.
He also weighs in on the incredible response he's received from fans of Pacey-Con. "I've spent years and years of my life trying to scrub that song out of my memory, and after walking around playing it on a boombox all day, I have been humming 'I Don't Want to Wait' to myself, which is both creepy for me, having been on that show, and so addictive."

Guess you missed Jackson's interview with MTV from *last week* where they discussed... the very same things (wanting to do TVD, Pacey-Con, etc.).
I didn't see the MTV interview so I was happy to hear it. Would LOVE to see Joshua Jackson guest on Vampire Diaries :)
I was never a big fan of Dawson's Creek but I love him on Fringe.He really is an excellent actor.

I'm freaking out over here! Make it happen KW & co. PLEASE!
Okay, so I'm seriously banned from this site now? Wat up wid dat?
Well, so long suckers.
Pacey... on the Vampire Diaries?! Could it be the one thing that winds up hooking me on this show for good?
Let's see. I'm imagining it, I'm imagining it... and, yes. SOLD.
(This would also be my reaction to Pacey on ANY TV SHOW EVER, to be fair.)
So wait a second, someone who ripped off someone else's idea was mad when someone from said idea ripped off her ripped off work?
If I wrote a sad little fanfic that was read by one of the original actors on an Internet sensation, I'd be stoked.
I can so see Joshua playing this rogue vamp,bit of a player, come into town, all swagger and try and charm elena, start some hot and heavy make out scene, shirts come off and he's about to chow down on elena and the salvatore bros swoop down and tear him to shreds...yuppers that works
