Paul Wesley Born on July 23, 1982 in New Brunswick, NJ. Paul Wesley began his acting career in 1999 when, while still a high school student, he was cast on the daytime soap Guiding Light. He graduated in 2000 and entered Rutgers University for a semester, but decided to drop out to pursue more acting opportunities.
Then using his actual last name, Wasilewski, Wesley was a regular in the short-lived show Wolf Lake, and later recurred in American Dreams, 8 Simple Rules and Everwood, where he became more well-known. This led to roles in films such as Cloud 9 and Peaceful Warrior.
In 2005 he decided to change his professional name to Paul Wesley, citing the fact that his last name is hard to pronounce. From there he recurred in shows such as Army Wives and 24, and also appeared in the ABC Family mini-series Fallen. In 2009, he was cast as Stefan Salvatore in the popular CW series The Vampire Diaries.
