Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder are buffed up guys, so Sean Faris will have no problem fitting in with the hunky cast of 'The Vampire Diaries.'

According to Entertainment Weekly, Sean will play Ben, a once high school football star who now bartends at the Mystic Grill.

"He's Matt's buddy," spills an unidentified 'Vampire Diaries' insider. "He gets entangled in the group when a broke Matt takes a job at the Mystic Grill."

Sean won't be the only new person in Mystic Falls...there's another new cast member, probably because the show's characters keep dying!

Aol. Inside TV reports that Mia Kirshner will play the role of Isobel, the wife of Alaric. It's not known yet what drama Isobel will bring, but you can check out Mia's debut on the January 21 episode. Do you think Ben and Isobel will stir up major problems for Stefan and Elena?
