We aren't sure how much of this is set in stone and how much is just speculation, but Gossip Girl appears to be auditioning actors for the role of Gabriel Serrano.

Gabriel is said to be handsome, with a sexy accent; A worldly fellow who runs with the fast, socialite crowd and is either European, South American or Australian.

Interestingly, he and Serena van der Woodsen have some sort of relationship, which won't help things with Dan - if he's even in the picture when Gabriel arrives.

What's even more interesting is that footage of a young actor, Jonas Fisch, auditioning for the role has surfaced online. Here's a look at him reading for the part:

No word on whether this guy has actually been cast in the role, but either way, it sounds like Gabriel and Serena have some interesting dialogue coming up!

Gabriel is set to debut on the show around the 20th episode of Season Two ("Carrnal Knowledge" is the 17th). Follow the jump for another audition clip ...
