Returning for its second season, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is the story of two vampire brothers obsessed with the same beautiful girl, and battling to control the fate of an entire town. During season one, Stefan (Paul Wesley, Fallen) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder, Lost), returned to their hometown of Mystic Falls, Virginia, for very different reasons – Stefan was determined to get to know Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, the upcoming film, “The Killing Game”), who bears a striking resemblance to Katherine Pierce, the beautiful but ruthless vampire the brothers knew and loved in 1864, while Damon was intent on releasing Katherine from the tomb where he believed she was trapped by a witch’s spell all those years ago.

True Blood’s Joe Manganiello Minds His Manners on a First Date

www.parade.com: Walter Scott asks…Joe Manganiello (star of HBO’s True Blood, 33)

WS Did you get cast as the werewolf Alcide Herveaux thanks to your muscles?

JM In the books he’s physically imposing, but if he had a beer gut and a comb-over and was missing his teeth, that’s how I’d look in the part.

WS You were an athletic kid. How did your dad react when you wanted to become an actor?

JM Any father who has a 6-foot-5 kid who can run, throw, catch, dunk, and slide–I mean, you’re gonna be upset. But recently he wrote me a poem about a werewolf and framed it and brought it to me. I started crying. It was just this magical moment.

Wow, those True Blood  figures actually look really great. I wouldn’t mind getting them. What do you think of them? Would you be getting them?
