Stephen Martines Cast as a Blood Sucker on The Vampire Diaries

The vampires are coming!

As seen at the conclusion of this week's new episode of The Vampire Diaries, that seal was never properly closed on the Mystic Falls tomb. We've already seen Sterling Suilieman's Harper rise from the dead as a result - and we can now confirm he won't be alone.

Stephen Martines has been cast as a blood sucker named Frederick. He won't be up to any good at all when the series returns from hiatus on March 25.

Martines rose to prominence on General Hospital and recently recurred on The Closer in the role of a journalist who squared off with Kyra Sedgwick's Brenda.
