David Alpay has been cast in a recurring role on The Vampire Diaries Season 4.
The actor (The Tudors, The Borgias) will debut on the fourth episode of the fall as Professor Shane, an employee at the local university who believes in witchcraft and who shares a history with Bonnie's family.
The Vampire Diaries returns on October 11 and has fans very excited with another casting scoop:
Phoebe Tonkin will come on board as Hayley, a young woman with ties to Tyler. Look for that actress to first show up on Episode 3.
