Paul Wesley was born Paul Thomas Wasilewski in New Brunswick, New Jersey and grew up in Marlboro, New Jersey. His parents, Agnieszka and Thomas Wasilewski, moved to the U.S. from Poland just before his birth. Paul has one older sister named Monika and two younger sisters, Julia and Leah. Wesley attended Christian Brothers Academy and Marlboro High School for a short time before being cast in Guiding Light in his junior year. His role on the show forced him to transfer to Lakewood Prep School, which accommodated his busy acting schedule. After graduating in 2000, Paul attended Rutgers University for one semester. With his parents support, he left after he realized he could make a career of acting. In 2005 Paul changed his last name to Wesley due to the fact that Wasilewski was too hard to pronounce. Paul enjoys playing ice hockey and snowboarding as well as having an interest in writing and directing.
Paul first landed a role in the soap Guiding Light as Max Nickerson. He has also made appearances on the television shows Army Wives, 24, Smallville, The O.C., 8 Simple Rules, Wolf Lake, Cane, American Dreams, Everwood, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. As far as movies go, he has had roles in Peaceful Warrior, Roll Bounce, and Cloud 9, Fallen, and Killer Movie. Paul is probably best known for his role as Stefan Salvatore on the hit CW show The Vampire Diaries.
Stefan Salvatore, was born in the 19th century in Mystic Falls, Virginia. He was turned into a vampire by his (ex)girlfriend Katherine (believed to be dead) and left him heartbroken.
Stefan is a vampire struggling to live at peace with human beings. He sees hypnotizing, feeding off, and killing humans as immoral, and refuses to drink human blood, even though it seriously weakens his vampire powers and means he has to live with constant, strong hunger.
Stefan appears to be somber and a little distant towards most people, though generally polite. He is in control of his emotions most of the time.
