Paul Wesley Bites 'August Man' Magazine January 2013

Paul Wesley suits up for a feature in August Man‘s January 2013 issue, out on newsstands now!

Here’s what the Vampire Diaries actor had to share with the mag:

On juggling studies and acting when he was a teenager: “It was both stressful and unbelievably rewarding. For me, going into Manhattan three or four times a week to film during high school was an escape from the typical New Jersey suburban life. I was exposed to a lot at a young age that really helped shape who I am today. At the same time, schools were kicking me out for poor attendance.”

On his ultimate dream role: “Every time I read a great script, I fall in love with a character and get lost in the idea of playing him. I don’t think there’s one particular role I dream about.”

On his future projects: “I am currently attached to two films as an actor, both of which I’m producing. I intend to forge a career as a director as well.”
