Well…Stefan and Damon have a Daddy now! James Remar (the dad on Siega’s Dexter) has been cast as Guiseppe Salvatore! William Keck of TV Guide Magazine sits down with the actor to discuss his role.

Stefan and Damon are about to get a father on The CW’s The Vampire Diaries… and he looks an awful lot like Dexter’s Harry Morgan. Actor James Remar, 55, who first stared playing Dexter’s dad in 2006, will be flying to Atlanta on Dec. 2 to begin his role as Guiseppe Salvatore, papa to bloodsucking sons Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder). The busy actor also plays a big role in Dexter’s bloody Dec. 13 season finale, and that same night, plays a father mourning a child in Lifetime’s original holiday tearjerker, The Christmas Hope.

Keck: You seem like a great choice to play Papa Salvatore. How did you get the role?
Remar: I was brought in by Marcos Siega, who has directed several episodes of Dexter and Vampire Diaries. He’s now the show runner on Vampire Diaries and thought I’d be right for this role.

Keck: What have they told you about this guy, Giuseppe?
Remar: He’s an aristocrat in the 1860’s of Italian decent. It’s the Civil War Era and it’s about how he relates to his boys.

Keck: Is he a vampire himself?
Remar: Not at the outset, no. But one of his boys has been bitten by the girl he loves.

Keck: Is it just the one episode?
Remar: I think it’s going to be more than one.

Keck: Are you a vampire fan yourself?
Remar: Sure. I really think Gary Oldman knocked it out of the park as Count Dracula (in 1992’s Dracula).

OK SERIOUSLY, JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE SHOW COULDN’T POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER—THIS ACTOC IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE, WE CAN’T WAIT. PS THE HISTORY TEACHER WAS FANTATIC IN THE TURNING POINT. LOVE THE SHOW BETTER THEN TWILIGHT, TRUE BLOOD. WORTH THE WAIT UNTIL JANUARY.
