The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesThanks to @CW_VampDiaries for the heads up on IESB’s exclusive interview with Steven R. McQueen (man, we feel a bit guilty for complaining about the lack of Steven press now…). It’s extensive and chock full o’great stuff, including his family’s acting legacy (and forging his own identity as an actor), and he reveals he also auditioned for the CW’s Melrose Place, the challenges of playing Jeremy and losing Kayla Ewell (Vicki), and his upcoming film, Piranha 3-D.

IESB: Was there any hesitation at all, in signing on to play a character that you could end up playing for a number of years?

Steven: Yeah, that was something that me and my agent talked about, but I thought it would be a good experience to learn and stick with a character for a long time, when previously I’ve only been a character for a short amount of time and then have to lose it. I wanted to learn to adapt a character over a long period of time, rather than keeping in the same place. Jeremy is constantly changing. In the beginning, he had all these drug issues and was rebelling against the world. All of a sudden, he had all of his pain and grief sucked out of him, and now he’s in a completely different mental place. It’s almost like I haven’t been playing the same character for a long amount of time, so I’ve enjoyed it.

Read the entire interview at IESB.

And photographer Tyler Shields has just posted photos and video from his shoot with upcoming Vampire Diaries guest star Sean Faris. Um, potentially NSFW, and your monitor/screen might melt – just a warning. Here’s a taster photo – click it to view the rest on Tyler’s website. Let him know what you think as you fan yourself.

    My favorite tid bit about the water–sooo funny!!!
    IESB: How has the show affected your life? Have you adjust to getting recognized more often?

    Steven: It happens more and more. I try to ignore it. That kind of stuff comes and goes. For now, I’m just focusing on the work and enjoying that aspect of it. We get recognized, here and there, and more than anything, I feel socially awkward when it happens. It’s very surreal. I was walking somewhere with a glass of water and some girl came running up, screaming and just started hugging me, and I dropped the water all over my body. It was very strange.
