Paul Wesley to Reprise Role on 24

He may have trouble being the perfect boyfriend on The Vampire Diaries - seriously, Stefan, you should have showed a photo of Katherine to Elena weeks ago - but Paul Wesley perfected the role of supportive husband on season seven of 24.

Many fans of the aforementioned CW hit aren't even aware that Wesley portrayed Kim Bauer's husband, Stephen, last year, but here's all the proof you need:

With the eighth (and likely final) season of 24 premiering on January 17, we've got great news for Vampire Diaries fans: Wesley will appear again as Mr. Kim Bauer.

He won't play a major role on the Fox drama, but his presence is almost enough to make up for the fact that the show is bringing Kim (aka The Most Annoying Character on Television) back into the fold.
