Wolf on This

I just knew the guy would do A-OK.

TV’s Next Big, Already Hot Thing Taylor Kinney (Trauma) has joined The Vampire Diaries in the recurring role of Mason Lockwood, late Mayor Lockwood’s (werewolf-y?) younger brother.

Described as Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) cool uncle, Mason is sexy and athletic and quite charming, but can “flip in an instant” if crossed.

Now, The Vampire Diaries has a knack for casting hot guys (hi, Sean Faris! hey there, David Anders!), so this is pretty par for the course, but we’ve all have, or should have seen Kinney’s abs, so I can only imagine the visual goody goody gum drops we’re in for come fall.
