We’ve had a tip-off from an anonymous source going by the name of ‘Inquiring Minds’. This source has stated that the Hollywood Reporter misreported the casting, and that the mysterious Sarah Carey, who is listed as playing Jenna Moyer in the Vampire Diaries pilot, does not exist. The actress playing Jenna should have been listed as Sara Canning. A look at her IMDb profile indicates that she’s previously worked on Smallville and Kyle XY, giving her previous associations with both the CW and Julie Plec, which adds some credibility to the claim. She certainly looks the part for a sexy grad student, too.
Thanks, Inquiring Minds!
IMDb is also listing Benjamin Ayres as Mr. Tanner (who really should not be that good looking!), and Steve Belford as Darren. Now we just need to shed light on those who have been cast as Pete Whitmore and Brooke and we’ll have a complete set. If you’ve got any tips for us, please be sure to drop us a line!
Discuss this in the vampire-diaries.net forums.

I’m inevitably going to call Darren Derwin or Darwin or Dennis. What a stupid name. LM(Quote)

I’m not sure Pete actually makes an appearance in the pilot? I know he’s *referred* to in the script, but I don’t recall him having a scene? Vee(Quote)

Excellent point. Though it’s a shame he doesn’t poke his head around a door in the boarding house scenes in that case. If it gets the go, maybe he’ll never get cast because he’ll spend the entire series being as elusive as Mrs. Flowers? ;) Red(Quote)

We’re also missing some pages, so yeah – he may very well be lurking in there somewhere. Vee(Quote)

Wait, who’s going to start the completely unfounded speculation that we might be seeing Mr. Tanner and Alaric combined in Mr. Ayers’ Tanner?
Bueller? Vee(Quote)
